On the Latch 5 product , you cannot turn off the auto-lock feature. You can change the duration of time before it initiates the auto lock but you can’t turn it off. I can turn off auto lock on my Utech bolt but not on Latch 5. I am using it on an interior door leading into my garage so during the day I would rather keep it unlocked and then locked at night. am requesting an option to turn auto lock off. Also most other locks have a way to setup a schedule so you can have the lock locked at night but leave it open during the day. Request new scheduling feature.
