Can the door be left open sometimes without it automatically closing?

There's no built-in mechanism to keep it open. I rigged up a short 8" piece of old coat hanger as a hook on the hinge side that I could use to keep it open. Simple, and you can adjust where you put it and how far open you want it. Bend the ends over with a pair of pliers so it doesn't catch anything or scratch people.

I use a bungie cord. I like the auto close so unsure if it can be disabled.

Thank you for your question. The way the Auto-Close Gate is designed, the door will not stay open by itself.

No. But after a year of use, we can now do it, as the door is not as "springy" anymore.

Yes. We have adjusted it to not lock upon closing as this is used at the top of the stairs to prevent the family dog from coming downstairs. We do leave it open when she is not around.

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.

Yes, there is a hold button (red) that overrides the system so you can keep doors open. If you forget to push it and the doors close you can still get back in as long as you have the outdoor keypad access.

Yes, The door can be left in toggle mode by use of the thumb bolt on the interior side.

It can be left open which is a nice feature. My last gate would always shut and we ha to use a bungee cord to keep it open.

You can leave the door off. You have to completely assemble this item. Yourself.

I never noticed but I just tested it. The door will always swing back into a closed position but does not always "click" in a locked mode. If you are looking to keep it wide open from time to time this might be a nuisance. We always need it shut so it's fine for that purpose. Hope that helps :)

I don't think so. It will help keep the door in the closed position or return it to closed if opened.

the key is not needed to open and close the unit. it uses a magnetic push mechanism. so, you just push in on the door and the magnet releases and the door opens. to close, just push on the door and the magnet is engaged.

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

It probably has about a pound of holding force. So if there was an automatic closure on the door, then probably not.

No, unless the door is slightly open. You can also open it all the way if you're worried about it. I had too much in it and the door wouldn't stay closed and noticed that there was a shadow in the corner but other than that it works fine.

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.

no. this product is only spring loaded and it will close the door, but it will not close it any slower. hope this helps. it is a good product.

Yes, you can leave a window open, and even close it after arming it. It will only trigger when the sensors are separated....not when the are put together.

the tension / spring of the closing mechanism is not so strong that the door not opened wide will automatically be closed. But that said, I don't think you could leave the door open with a 6 inch gap without some trials and adjustments

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.

Door will open automatically when actually printing. You can open yourself at anytime. Does not close automatically.
