Does the unit, lock automatically on the outside every time the door is closed? Is there a code you can enter to keep it unlocked until you are ready

For security reasons, the lock was designed to be back to "lock" position within three seconds automatically after a correct code is entered. This security feature will prevent a "forgot-and-left-unlock" after an entry. However, if you need to open/close frequently without the need for security, you can consider setting up "passage mode" with one-key touch open without entering an access code.

Yes it does. There is a code you can enter for 1 button override and touch any button to open. I can't see that being much more helpful than just entering the code however.

It is just like any other door lock from the inside and can be opened to exit. It is just permanently locked from the exterior.

Yes. Locks when all the way extended and when all the way down. There is a button you push to unlock.

No this lock can not be left unlocked. When the door closes it locks. You have to use the key to unlock just as if it was a conventional lock.

Mine does not. To lock it, I simply touch the "schlage" icon on the outside touchpad when I leave. The unit then locks and it flashes a green check mark to confirm that it successfully locked. Possibly, there is a mode to have it lock automatically, not sure though.

There is no locking mechanism. You slide it under the door when it's shut. If someone opens the door its pushes down on the flap and the alarm sounds.

You mean without another door latch? I suppose but you would have to manually lock it each time to keep door closed. It's just a deadbolt.

When you close door just turn the knob and it will lock until you set your combination and turn knob to unlock.

Yes. There is a spring-loaded lock at the top and a sliding/removable doohickey on the bottom. They operate independently. So, while the top locks automatically upon shutting the gate, you have to manually slide the locking mechanism into place on the bottom.

Mine re-locks after a time out. When I leave, I just close the door and it's locked.

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.

When leaving your house, you must turn around and lock the door by pressing the lock button. This is handy if you are running in and out doing yard work/kids etc so you don't have to keep pressing the code for re- entry.

You need to enter code again and push down on release button (as you did to open door) and close it let go and it will lock, it is a safety feature so you remember to lock it back up.

This lock does autolock after a specific amount of seconds when the keypad is used for entry, or the unlock button is depressed on the side opposite the keypad. The lock itself does not know whether the door is closed or open, so the state of the lock does not change based on door position. However, if you are skilled enough with Z-wave, and have a window/door sensor (such as the model schalge makes: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008Q5CTBE/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER ), then you can program the locks behavior yourself. Nothing in the manual (which is terrible for anything except installation) points to even being able to turn off the autolock, or change the duration of seconds till autolock, but this behavior can be modified with z-wave commands.

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.

No, This Lock does not have an autolock feature. Not having the feature was one of the purchasing process parameters.

Hello Lisa. so you enter your code. Walk through the gate. Close the gate....and you now want to leave. So you press this button (resembles a door bell) and it activates the lock to the open position and you open the gate and exit. Simple as that! I truly enjoy this device!
