Do the doors stay shut if not locked by magnet or door latch? I am installing in a trailer, if I forget to lock, I don't want to loose everything?

While the latch operation is thrown by the Key operation, It is a magnet which keeps the door closed when unlocked. Don't forget to lock it, you will loose everything if it weighs more than a couple of pounds. Other than that, not a bad cabinet in comparison to most of the crap they are selling these day.

Yes, they have a magnet that holds them in place but it's not extremely strong.

they do not have a magnet or latch they stay closed mounted on my wall but inside a trailor you would need to lock them

The door has a fairly strong magnet. You should not have a problem with them opening unless considerable stress is involved.

This cabinet does not lock. It has two magnetic latches, one near the top of the door and one near the bottom. There is one brushed nickel type pull knob.

It's a really strong door closer. Why would a door closer hold the door open?To keep open put a latch & hook on the back of the door. This is a strong high grade commercial door closer

There aren't magnets on the top to attach to a metal door. The only magnets are in the middle where you walk through. If you don't attach the sides to a fixed wooden door then it will just come undone.

No. I just tug on the door and the magnet will release the door. It holds well but is easy to open. I am pleased with mine.

Hinge and latch are steel and well built in my opinion. Magnets will stick to those parts but not to the gate itself.

There are no locks on the trailer, however you could install hasps and lock it with a padlock

The switch is (no) when there is no magnet present. With a magnet this switch will be closed until you open the door. This ringing the bell when the door is opened. Hope that help you.

There is no indication whether the door is locked or not. So, it would be easy to lock yourself out. Most door hardware (the more expensive ones) when you have it in the lock position the post will stick out keeping the door from shutting all the way.

HelloMagnetic Door Locks are "Fail Safe Lock". Meaning, they are powered (energized) in order to be locked and de-energized for unlocking. During power outage they will unlock. To overcome it for continuous lock you'll need to add a backup power supply. We do carry this item but not on Amazon.

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

If you install it not quite vertically aligned, with the top bar tilted towards the side of the room you want the gate to stay open, it will stay open due to gravity. To shut it you'll have to push the gate to catch the bottom latch, but the top gate latch may not close then. A child will not be able to open the gate, because you have to lift the door to disengage the bottom latch. I just installed it yesterday and it does not close. I intend to correct it today though, as it is not recommended.

I have these doors. They do indeed lock. I get lots of compliments on the doors and wife feels a bit safer. Reason for the lock is so no one can steal the doors.

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.

It stays closed by magnets, which are rather strong. I travel 2 weeks a month for work and take mine with me. Never had an issue with it NOT staying closed.

I put it in a metal hollow core door and it works fine for me. I've not had any problem with the magnets.

There is no latch. However the doors remained closed when in closed position because of the magnetic pieces. If you look really closely at the picture where the armoire is opened, to the right of the first book, you can see the two magnets. There is also a magnet on the inside of each door.
