When in the locked open position, is it possable for it to accadently close or lock?

You have to use the key to lock or unlock it. No way to accidently close it or lock it without a key.

No. This is a deadbolt. It can only be locked or unlocked by turning the key from either side.

It does not. When closed, it is held shut by some fairly weak magnets, but when open, does not do any sort of locking.

yes. you can have it lock automatically or you can set it so it stays open. great lock!

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.

It just opens but does not lock into place. I've never had a problem with it falling though. I have had a problem and had to put the screwback ended a couple of times

Yes, when u switch to the on position it should automatically lock, if it doesnt there may be something wrong with the switch. Just be sure u r locking it completely in the on position.

Yes, unless you hold the latch down until you take the key out and close the door. Once the latch is released, the latch locks. It doesn't matter if the door is in an open or closed position.

The hardware is designed to not slam shut. It will stay at the position you leave it.

Yes, or any movement will open it even if partially. This design has no way of keeping in place without locking and in turn you need the key to reopen. Try the non lock version BBS-2331 it should give you the look you want...

Yes, it should automatically lock when u put it in the on position-if it doesnt just be sure u have it completely switched in the on position or it may have a defective switch.

No, it doesn't lock 'open'. However, it is a good addition to working away from home especially on an airplane.

Yes... Unless you hold down the latch while retrieving the key/contents/etc., then close it before releasing latch. Once you release the latch, it locks.

I have n idea how it stays closed. But so far it has stayed closed for me. Never had a problem with it opening unless I made it open.

It only locks in an open position. When closed it is in an unlocked state (allowing gravity to do its thing).

Guess there must be some problem with your model as mine does not do that. It stays locked in to position. I have to unlock it.

It stays in place, but it is relatively easy to close. I wouldn't say it locks in place because it will close if pushed. There is no actual locking mechanism. My oldest one is easier to close than my newest one, but it still doesn't flop closed.

No, it does not lock. But it opens both from the front and from the back. I like mine, and I can easily see whether the flag is up or down. .SES.
