Does this gate close automatically if left open?

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).

A 4 year old could open the gate, and it will close automatically. However, if the gate is open more than half way, the gate will remain open in either direction. So that this will not happen, we screwed an L bracket into the floor so that the door would not open past a certain point and therefore would not remain open. Hope this helpsKathy

No it does not have that option. The spring that closes the gate is fairly strong and will snap back quickly if you don't hold the gate open, especially if you use the foot petal. I think you could rig something to keep it open, but nothing comes with it to keep it open.

It clicks under a mechanism that is attached to the opposite wall. You have to squeeze two buttons together and push down simultaneously to open the gate. It stays closed beautifully.

The gate latches and stays securely closed when it self closes. You can push the lever down for an extra security measure.

Yes. The gate should latch properly. I have the same siuation. The only issue we have is in opening the gate. The attached pin on the hinge side often pops out of the hole. It's an annoyance but not a big deal since it goes back in easily.

Hank said it... the gate will stay shut after it closes. If someone really wants to move it they can a little, then they will have to break the gate to open all the way.

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.

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.

No it's only meant to remain closed so when you unlatch it the gate opens then it swings shut.

We have the gate at the top of our stairs. It closes automatically and "locks". To open again you'll need to lift the whole door up and swing it open. Think of the lever like a deadbolt on your door. It closes and locks by itself but if you want to really seal it then you'll need to manually flip the "deadbolt" down.

The gate opens in both directions, but latches when it swings closed so it does not swing past closed

Shane,It looks like there is a small spring mechanism and a plastic wedge for close assist. The door will not close automatically until about half way open. It is not a smooth closure but it does close.

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.

It can be left open. My dog would nudge it open. To close the gate, you have to latch it. It's very easy to open and close.
