Yeah, when you push the top button it activates the exterior handle for like 15 seconds and you can lock it. - Ender Jul 31, 08:18 3
- I've had a couple and neither relied on the handle. - zork Jul 31, 08:25 1
  - These get better battery life because they don't do the actual locking/unlocking, they just engage the handle. -- nm - Ender Jul 31, 08:35
- Yeah, I read one of the reviews and they explain it is manually locked/unlocked which is really better than using the battery power to move the bolt. -- nm - GregW Jul 31, 08:21
I would think they are all on the 30 second timer. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 31, 08:15 1
- not all have a timer but all can be locked outside by pressing a button -- nm - zork Jul 31, 08:17
