Add software patch to allow lock to stay in open position

Looking for an override button to enable “leave lock in the open position” for a temporary amount of time “until manually relocked” perhaps? Not sure all the details but basically When the door is left open and “auto lock” is enabled, this causes a problem because my kids love to slam the door shut with the lock out. I know there is a HARDWARE solution in the new system with a detection of open door but I want a software bypass for my existing system

Hi there,
I’m not sure which type of lock you have but the one that I have has a setting to automatically lock the door after a specific time, if I don’t have that option toggled on then my garage door just stays open or unlocked.

I have often wondered why deadbolts don’t have a latch similar to those found in lever models. The lever latch allows the door to close even when locked.
