You didn't answer the real question from BCN: Would this model work for a condo entry door where you need simple turn to exit, and requires a key to re-enter (and the lock cannot be made to stay unlocked regardless of which way you turn the key)???

Asked by: condoHOAguy

Hi condoHOAguy, We are sorry for the incomplete response. This model lock #781KNL 26D SMT is a Storeroom function which is always locked unless opened with a key. When the door is closed, the lock automatically reverts back to a locked position. From inside the room, the door will open freely at all times to allow someone inside the room to exit. I hope this helps answer your questions. Thank you, Kwikset Support Team

How would I remove the cylinder where the key goes on this product 

Asked by: Oasis

Hello Oasis, Thank you for your interest in Kwikset model # 781KNL-3-SMT. To remove the cylinder the tool that was included with the unit must be pushed in on the side of the lever until a click is heard then the lever will come off of the shaft. Once the lever is removed the cylinder is held in by a silver clip that can be removed using a flat head screw driver. Once the clip is removed the cylinder can be removed from the shaft. Thank you, Kwikset Support Team
