Not sure what you're referring to... mine only has a turnbutton, it cannot be pushed!

This is for the F51 lock/lever. Let's go over this again: One side is keyed. The other side has a TURNBUTTON only. It does not get 'pushed' to lock. Only gets turned.

So, if I turn the button from the inside, I am still able to open the door from the inside and exit. In this situation, if the door closes up behind me, I am locked out.

Yes, I understand this is how it works 'by design'. But it's a POOR design.

The proper way to implement this would be that the cylinder should UNLOCK automatically if the door is opened from the inside. Much like those 'pushbutton' locks work.

The design of the push button/turnbutton is deliberate so that you can have either option. Both permanently locked or able to be left unlocked.

Do you realize what you are writing before you write it?
