Locking from the Outside

To lock the Schlage BE365 from the exterior after leaving:

  • Typically, you close the door and then simply press the Schlage button. The deadbolt should extend automatically after a moment, usually accompanied by a red light flash or beep.
  • Alternatively, some users re-enter their valid user code to lock the deadbolt.

Operating from the Inside

From the inside of the door, using the Schlage BE365 is straightforward:

  • Locking/Unlocking: Use the thumbturn located on the interior side of the deadbolt. Turning the thumbturn manually extends or retracts the deadbolt, securing or unsecuring the door.
