Can this be set to latch automatically when the door closes? Is this what the tab on the side does?

you cannot set it to automatically lock when the door closes but instead it is locked using a key.

No. You have to turn the knob or use the key to latch the pins. It's seems to be a very secure locking method. The jamb can't be spread apart to bypass a typical deadbolt.

No. You have either to turn the knob or turn the key, depending on what side of the door you are.

It doesn't latch automatically. You need to turn the knob after closing the door from the inside, and you need to lock with the key when leaving from the outside.

Well, the 'pin side' has to be installed on the gate and the 'lock side' has to be on the fixed wall or post. Also worth mentioning - the key side probably can't be installed upside down. I cut a piece just a hair too short and so our latch relies on gravity to shut fully... and the lock won't catch if it's not shut fully.

It's the tab that controls the spring-loaded "door" that prevents people from pulling the lock cylinder with a slide hammer. It doesn't stick that fara out when it's installed because the door is held open by the outside cylinder whose actuator bar runs through the "door" and pulls the solver tab into the housing 80%. On my house, I use these as night locks with no key on the outside of the door (just didn't install the outside cylinder) so the tab sticks out as shown. You could bend it or cut it off and it would make no difference.

You can set it to close automatically when powered off or to stay open unless someone pushes the close button

There is a door anchor included so you close the door on it and it stays put. Just make sure you do it with a sturdy door! :-)

If I remember correctly, there are hooks / grooves that you have to line up along the sides before clicking the tab at the top. Take the door off and you should see the additional hook/groove/tabs that need to be lined up for the final click. Sorry, it has been a while but I do remember that issue. It was a very simple "ah ha" fix.

It has a motorized latch that locks after a short time. Unless you have the door set to stay unlocked.

The latch is on the top left side of the door, just below the curved part. Pull latch up to open. When closing, hold latch up and release when door is in closed position.

Mine is automatic. When you open the door so far, it stays open until you pull it closed. We don't have a switch or anything like that.

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.

Mine doesn't automatically shut. You have to lift and close the gate door each time. It will stay open if you open it.

As long as the screws on either side are tight enough so the the latch just barely clears the post, mine stay shut, even when our puppies run in to them. But the gates have to be installed plumb, so that the latches at the top and bottom both latch when the gate is closed.

I haven't had any issues with doors opening and closing... If the door flaps are rolled up tightly the doors are clear to open and close wt latch:)

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. In fact if you need to close within a few seconds, all you do is punch the o instead of the entire 4 digit code! Also you can stop the door at any position by entering the 0 !!7

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.

It swings shut automatically, but we use a bungee cord, and can rig it to stay open held by the bungee from one part of the gate to another(or something exterior)
