Can you set this lock so that it locks automatically when you close the door?

No, this lockset does not have the auto lock feature. I do have a different schlage lockset ( Schlage FE595VCAM716ACC Camelot Keypad Accent Lever Door Lock) on another door that has the auto lock feature if that is what you are looking for you can find it here Schlage FE595VCAM716ACC Camelot Keypad Accent Lever Door Lock, Aged Bronze

No. You have to hit one button and then thumb turn the deadbolt to lock it.

the lock will only lock or unlock when you put the code in. whether you are closing door or opening it.

I am not aware if that is possible. It only takes the push of one button and a twist of a knob. I love that you don't need keys, no more getting locked out.

I just received this and as far as I can tell, when you enter the house it will automatically lock behind you. But when you leave the house, you have to manually unlock the door and it won't automatically lock. It just beeps over and over to remind you to lock the door. Either I'm doing something wrong or this is a HUGE flaw in the design.

Unfortunately the model that I bought locks and I need to leave the key in so it can be opened without punching in the code. I believe that there is another model which doesn't lock automatically that I wish that I've bought.

You can only lock it from the outside with the key, but that defeats the purpose of the digital lock doesn't it. You have to turn the lock before you go out, or open the door and turn it. I can only guess that there is alarm system involved here.

NO. to lock the door, you do NOT have to put in the code, press the schlage button (center top) and then turn the handle to engage the deadbolt

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

It comes with a seperate key if you want to lock it, you have to do manually

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.

Not really, as long as you lock it. you can latch it closed and then there is a switch to actually lock it.

The lock is always on. No way to keep it unlocked when closed. You get used to it

No. I can't think why that would be necessary. It is either locked or unlocked set on the door itself.

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.

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

Yes you have to lock it every time with key. It will not lock on its own, probably to prevent lockouts.

You can lock the door from outside with a key. I leave the inside on lock mode all the time, that way I now the door is locked.

No. The only purpose for the lock is to keep the door from being opened (either accidentally or anti-theft).

Wow, thanks for asking this question. I never thought of that, and that fact that the combination has to be set to close the lock helped me choose not to buy this lock. Thank you.
