The description says it automatically locks. How? I purchased and installed this and can't figure out how to make it lock automatically.

sometimes the tab you use to unlock it doesn't come all the way back down and it doesn't lock. make sure tab is all the way down

Pull the inside rod out and it clicks incrementally. Pull over to door, wedge it into back side of the door.

If it is installed correctly, all you do is bring it to the horizontal position and it locks itself. To open the door just raised it to the vertical position, and that all. Thanks.

Yeah, saying it locks is a bit misleading. I'm sure what they mean is that once the bar is in place the door can't be opened, so it's locked without actually locking the door.

I don't think I totally understand your question. If it is installed and the bar is set to the appropriate length as soon as you put the end of the bar into the receiving slot, the door is locked.

Not sure I understand what you mean by "if I open using the knob it autocloses." Do you mean if you turn the dial to unlock the lock manually, it will then relock automatically? That's weird. If I manually unlock mine, it doesn't auto relock unless I open the door and then shut it again so the magnet triggers the relock. And if the open/close button does nothing, it sounds like maybe you got a defective unit.

Mine is suppose to lock but does not. Do not buy if you are looking for security.

Turn it over twisted it, pushed it up and twisted it again to lock it. Hope this helps.

the yellow switch on left side does slide to lock it ... could have bumped it down ... to fix issue slide the slider to the top

It is not supposed to lock. It will go up and down on its own..Its a great machine, enjoy it!!

No, it does not lock at all. I don't think it's designed where you could add one, either.

The lock is always on. No way to keep it unlocked when closed. You get used to it

Wow, thanks for asking this question. I never thought of that, and that fact that the combination has to be set to close the lock helped me choose not to buy this lock. Thank you.

No, it does not automatically lock. The two ways to engage the lock are manually turning knob from inside or from outside after you press schlage button and then manually turn knob. Simple, effective and fool proof.

It does not auto lock after opening it. For my experience, if you program it with Insteon it will do whatever you ask off of it. For example, lock the door if it has been unlocked for 5 minutes or so. The cool thing about this and insteon is you can operate it from your cell phone and lock and unlock your house from wherever you are.The only issue I see with this is that if you operate it manually (unlock manually and not with the remote or with insteon) the program does not detect it so it will not do what you programmed.

We have one installed. It is wonderful not having to use a key when leaving - just push the "lock" button. On entry, no fumbling for keys - just the code. When we're home or in the yard during the day, we usually leave ours unlocked, and it does not lock automatically. So either older/different model, or there is a setting. There was a one-time set up using some switches as I recall. Does NOT need to be reset after changing the batteries.

Here is the pdf from Schlage http://consumer.schlage.com/project%20documents/24060857.pdf on page 3 it talks about auto-lock feature. I have used this on one my three locks when my brother stayed at my house and forgot to lock the door. this is not enabled by default. you DO NOT need home automation to make this work. This feature is on the lock not home automation system.

I just recently reviewed the owner's manual for that same question. It appears that the auto lock feature is on or off and if on, relocks itself in 30 seconds. In my opinion, that is way too fast and having to reenter my code to unlock the door to come back in. Hope this helps.

there is no automatic locking mechanism. you manually lock the line by looping it around one of the tabs underneith the reel housing.

you cannot set it to automatically lock when the door closes but instead it is locked using a key.
