Understanding Door Modes

A door can be in one of four door modes:

             Open: the door is held open and the lock is in unlocked state.

             Close: the door is physically closed and the lock is in unlocked state.

             Lock: the door is physically closed and the lock is in locked state.

             Secure: the door is locked and the dead bolt is applied.

The Default mode defines the door mode at all times unless overridden by a door schedule or door mode command. See Understanding the Default Door Mode.

A Scheduled mode overrides the default mode for the days and hours in a door schedule. For example, if the default mode is Lock, you can create a door schedule to change the mode to Close during normal business hours. The door will be locked at all times except 8 am to 5 pm, when it is physically closed but unlocked. See Understanding the Scheduled Door Mode

The Override mode occurs when you manually change the door mode using a door command. The Override door commands are:

             Set Door Mode Lock

             Set Door Mode Open

             Set Door Mode Secure

             Reset Door Mode (removes the override and restores the default or scheduled mode)

If you manually override the door mode using a command, the door remains in that mode until you select another door mode command or reset the controller. For more information, see Manually Override the Door Mode Using Commands.
