#3

Auto-lock is widely described as reliable and flexible, with adjustable timers and scheduling, though it is timer-based rather than true door-position sensing.

#4

Auto-lock is widely praised and highly configurable (immediate to timed delays). The built-in door-closed sensing helps prevent locking before the door is shut, improving real-world reliability.

Auto-lock is widely praised when configured, especially when paired with the door sensor to confirm the door is closed, and timing controls are commonly cited. However, at least one reviewer...

#14

Auto-lock is described as configurable with delays and schedules, but practical intelligence may be limited because at least one hands-on review says there is no door-ajar sensor. Auto-unlock is presented...

#15

Auto-lock is flexible (timers, door-closed conditions) and often works well when the door sensor is accurate and the door’s mechanics are straightforward. On certain doors (lift-to-lock or sensor misreads), auto-lock...

#16

Auto-relock/auto-lock features are commonly praised for convenience and worked consistently in testing, but toggling settings may require opening the interior panel and using small switches.

#22

Auto-lock is feature-rich (door-close sensing, timers, schedules, passage mode), and many find it convenient. However, some reviews label it beta and report occasional misfires or latch problems if calibration or...

#23

Auto-lock works as a time-based setting and is generally seen as useful, but reviewers note it cannot confirm the door is actually closed. Some users compensate with Home automations using...

#24

Auto-lock timing is flexible (seconds to minutes) and often works reliably once configured. A few reviewers report it becoming inconsistent until a reset, and several note there is no geofence-based...

#25

Auto-lock is available with a short delay range (often cited as 5 to 120 seconds) and works as intended for many users, but its time-based nature and limited delay range...

#26

Auto-lock is configurable and often works as intended, but several reviewers warn it can be risky without door sensing because the bolt may extend while the door is still open....
