We currently have old keyed-entry door knobs on 2 main doors of our house... They are the turn-button style (to lock and unlock from the inside), and they stay locked even when you try to open from the inside-- which I prefer.
All keys have been needing extra jiggling to get the main door open as of late. I bought brand new Schlage door knobs at local hardware store. Just the right finish, and lo and behold, I actually installed the first one myself. I was very pleased, until....
I found that the door knob turns/opens from the inside, even when locked-- which I do not like. I like to check the doors each night before heading to bed by attempting to turn the knob and pulling on the door to ensure that the door is indeed locked. Plus, although I am not sure, the knob may stay locked, even though you open the door from the inside (which is asking for a lockout with 2 kids in my opinion)
I have looked on the internet, and it is so hard to find the appropriate info when shopping-- does anyone know of a brand and model of turn-button lock (bronze finish) entry door knob that locks and stays locked, even when you turn the knob from the inside?
thanks
