The only feature I want is disabling the code locking the door. If you lock the door but return before your auto-lock, you enter the code and it ends up locking the unlocked door. Ugh. There's a lock button on the keypad - does the code really need to lock the door?

1 Touch Locking is the padlock button, that can be turned on/off.

They should add another option for Code Locking on/off. That would turn off the possibility of the door locking with a code when it's already unlocked. That is a feature they should have, I've locked the door and gotten frustrated because someone unlocked the door to be helpful but it only caused more issues, sometimes the Forced Entry alarm is triggered.
