## View and modify AL54 settings

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### In **Command**, go to **All Products > Access**.

{% step %}

#### Select the **door** controlled by the AL54.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Doors managed by an AL54 share most [settings](https://help.verkada.com/access-control/configuration-and-setup/configure-a-door-in-command) with other Verkada doors, but there are a few key differences:

* Battery performance depends on configuration and usage. Enabling extra antennas under **Antenna Configuration** increases power consumption and may shorten battery life. For best results, enable only the antennas needed for your setup.
* The internal button on the AL54’s interior module can be configured under **Internal Button Function**:
  * **No Action** – The button has no effect.
  * **Unlock Mode** – Pressing the button toggles the door between its current schedule and unlocked. Press again to return to the schedule.
  * **Privacy Mode** – Functions as described in [Use the Wireless Lock Internal Push Button](https://help.verkada.com/access-control/hardware-installation/wireless-locks/use-the-wireless-lock-internal-push-button).
