11. 35 years ago I put Schlage in my whole house

One entry door has failed and it was the one we used all the time. My understanding was that there were homeowner grade and professional grade. I bought professional grade. If I just push the button in the lock will unlock when leaving the house. Which I like. If I push the button in and turn it the lock will not unlock when leaving. The knob will turn and let you out but will remain locked. We never use that function because you get locked out.
The one knob that wore out I replaced with the push button Schlage and it has worked great for many years now. I have a push buttion on the grage door opener so I never need a key. Even the car has a fob. I carry one key. I have had good luck with Schlage hardware and I would suggest you check with a locksmith.
