is this umbrella automatic open and close

No. You have to hold the catch and push it open and then the same to close it.

No Kay - just manual up and down. Perfect for a handbag organiser though which is why I bought three! Cannot get anything like this in New Zealand.

Its not automatic but it works very well I like it better than the old one I don't have to hold it all the time

I have a problem opening & closing it. It's a matter of strength. Other's who are stronger have managed fine. I've only opened & closed it myself twice and both times I succeeded but with difficulty. I am very happy with the umbrella and have decided that, rightly or wrongly, that the problem I have is due to the overall weight and sturdiness of the umbrella and the fact that I am a small woman.

I don't recall having to assemble the crank part of this umbrella. My crank makes a clicking sound as I turn it, so I assume there is some sort of gear-wheel that automatically locks it in place as you crank it up. It definitely should stay up.

I would say no. My umbrella stays put when it's folded and tied shut but if its open, the wind will take it away. The screw to tighten on the base to hold the umbrella tight is a piece of junk and doesn't tighten. I would honestly go to Walmart and find a pretty concrete one on clearance for $19 like I did. I should have looked there first. Good luck!

The door does not close automatically. It opens both ways. Once it reaches the middle there's a stopper, so you have to lift up and over the cross-bar.

This gate does not close automatically - you need to push a button and lift the gate slightly to open it. It only requires using one hand though.

There is an open button and a close button that allows you to open/close manually.

Yes-manually ... there is a red 'T' handle on a short piece of rope you pull to disengage the chain ... you then open and close the door like you did before you had the opener attached. It is easy to re-set once the power is restored. My wife just had to do this this past weekend when the power was out and I was at the Fire Hall.

Yes it has a crank handle that opens The umbrella to full length and to fully closed so you can put it away for the winter

no it does not, you have to open and close it manually. It's not kid friendly as it takes a bit of strength to open and close, and because it retracts on a roller bar mechanism when opening, it's hard for small kids to understand the process

Assembly was quite easy, but I have to say closing the umbrella is hard to do. My wife has a hard time getting it to crank shut.

No, however, when raised, it does stay open until you close it. I have several young grandchildren who have never had a problem when opening this. It does not slam shut on you. Hope this helps.

Mine is automatic. But the casings they provided did not fit on mine. Not sure if that helps but it still works it just fits loosely.

Technically, it does not lock. However, it is very stable. My backyard is always very windy, & it remains in place. I would put umbrella in closed position for extreme wind. I am very pleased with the overall stability & functionality. I am going to purchase a 2nd one.
