Does the door auto-lock if you swing it shut? Or do you need your hand on the latch mechanism to close and lock the door?

Yes you can swing it shut but only if it's securely installed. I close the gate by clicking it together when I can but half the time I kick the gate with my feet and it clicks shut. We hired a handy man to install it properly and it now auto-locks by just swinging it.

If you allow it to close too slowly then you may need to pull it shut to latch. Otherwise, yes it does latch into place on it's own.

It swings shut...we use a hand weight or 2 LT soda to prop ours open, but it usually stays closed.

It can be left open... but with a gentle nudge will swing close and self latch.

Auto means many things to many people. If you mean will the door lock after you closed it, Yes it does. My door came with this gadget on top. It closes automatically. So once opened and no one holds the door, it will close. Once closed, the lock will engage and you can only go in with the RF card or tag.

I am not sure if there is a lock, but I have not had a problem with it swinging open. It has stayed in any position I have placed it in and I use it quite frequently.

No, it won't automatically close. There's a hinge and you have to lift the gate an inch or so and place it into the lock (which is easy to do).

The bolt is a long dead bolt type deal, so you must engage in some fashion to keep the door closed. As I remember, you can select to use the combo or key to manual lock/unlock, or lock with the turn of the handle. I believe you have to select a certain rod while installing to make the selection.In no case will it 'auto latch' (hold the door closed). You must manually latch, 100% of the time. It is locking with lever actionor not that is the choice.

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.

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.

You need to lock the door. Well made and very pleased with it. They do sell them without locks for your info.

I don't understand your question. I bought two of these for some new doors i bought, They take a key to get in from the outside, but on the inside they have a latch so you don't need to lock it from the inside with a key. Is that what you're asking?

It does lock. There's a small button that slides over and back to lock and unlock the door handle.

No, it doesn't lock open if you pull or push it all the way. There are other brands here in Amazon that offer that feature.

No, it doesn't. I think that it's automatically closing makes it a little safer, because it can't be inadvertently left open. If need be, it would be easy to prop it open with a door stop at the bottom

The self close feature only works with the door barely open. This then prevents you from leaving a cabinet door partially cracked open. Open the cabinet door an inch or 2 and let go, the door should swing fully closed if everything is lined up correctly.

Hello. I do own this but I'm not sure exactly what your asking. It does open and close but there is no latch that keeps it closed.

There is no indication whether the door is locked or not. So, it would be easy to lock yourself out. Most door hardware (the more expensive ones) when you have it in the lock position the post will stick out keeping the door from shutting all the way.
