Does the latch extend instantly when power is removed, and you have to maintain constant power to keep latch retracted?

Yes constant power to keep the latch retracted. And yes it's Instant when power is removed

Yes and yes. Don't maintain power for long periods. Burned one out when switch got stuck in the on position. Also retraction is not very strong. Any pressure on the latch will prevent retraction.

Yes it does. It has two locking positions, fully extended and fully closed.

Sorry, but I am unable to help you with a proper reponse. What I can say is that I would no longer recommend this item to anyone. After very little use, the latch broke and was/is of no use.

It doesn't latch automatically. You must press the downward until you hear it click. Then to open it, you squeeze the latch from the top to release it. It actually works best if you squeeze down on the release button while simultaneously pulling up on the gate. Hope that makes sense.

Yes. You must remove the latch. They sell a automatic latching system you can purchase. I really like my US Automatic Gate. The motherboard Fried after the first two operations. They sent a new one for free and it has been working ever since! Good customer support. Fast response.

No. It's gravity loaded so when you shut the door it automatically latches because of gravity.

No. It took me two tries (15 mins) to adjust and it was fine. Latch was very secure. I did this in the summer weather. Now in the colder weather I adjusted the tension tighter and it is fine and the latch is very secure.

It snaps rather firmly into either mode and remains in place until manually changed. So, your answer is: "it stays". BTW, very pleased with the device.

I got it for my great grandson who lives in another state..so I am not sure how it latches..Sorry I cannot help there at present...I will ask my grand daughter

I agree with the other answer. Only a small click. I've actually learned to minimize that click by jamming my thumb into the latch release instead of using the handle.

I believe it does not stay on. It only is in when it triggers. I'm sorry I can't be too specific, I don't have it anymore

Yes it does. You can hold it on without depressing the switch the whole way and it will turn off as soon as you release it.

I think around 5 seconds or so . Never had an issue. My gate is a little heavy so I need to push on the gate slightly while interning code as when the latch disengages It is not strong enough to unlock if the it is windy . All in all it works good and I only had to replace the batteries yearly !

The latch is a cable system that can be released from either side. When you pull the cable it releases a pin that opens the cover.

No. It will latch without locking. I have had 2 of these and both had the latch break off after a little use. It is great if you don't open it very much. Otherwise it will probably need to be replaced after a few months.

It does "lock," but not in the way I believe you are saying (there is no latch to unlock it if that's what you mean). If you extend it out fully, it will "lock" but a push will retract it back in. Just the same when it is fully retracted, it "locks" into place there as well, but again, with a slight pull, it comes unlocked. It is not a free flowing slide. Confusing I know, but I hope it makes some sense.

The battery power DOES NOT retract or extend the deadbolt. That is done manually. The battery powers the light and the keypad + mechanism that allows you to engage or disengage the deadbolt.
