Recommended Smart Locks
Automatic locking features are built-in for all August Smart Locks.
Frequently asked questions
Within the August App, you can adjust your home’s perimeters (geofence) to ensure that your lock knows whether you are at home or away. When your smart lock detects that you have left your home, the auto-unlock features will be active until you return home and approach your door. Auto-unlock will then be initiated via Bluetooth when you are within 20 feet of your entrance.
Unfortunately not. To ensure location accuracy, it is not possible to have the perimeters too small as this could lead to the possibility of false auto-unlocks while you are at home.
Your home’s perimeter is only used to detect auto-unlocking. Auto-locking works on a customizable timer (30 seconds to 30 minutes) or can be set to auto-lock instantly once the lock senses the door is closed using DoorSense™ technology.

Is there any way to auto-lock doors when driving? This seems like a super standard feature that’s been on cars forever, but I can’t find any setting for it in the menus.

I’ve been wanting this ever since I got mine as well The dealer told me it was not possible to auto-lock, same answer they gave me for converting the temp to centigrade in the US models. Would love to hear if someone on here knows of a way to do either one

Doesn’t come with that feature, unfortunately. I did find this though for the first gen but I’m not sure if it’d work for the second gen or not. If it does, I’ll definitely look at getting it.

Mildly annoying that a modern vehicle such as this doesn’t come with an auto-locking feature when driving. Hopefully Toyota can come out with a software update to the chassis electronics module to change this.

The more annoying part is that the car doors dont auto unlock when you pull the handle from the inside… this small thing bothers me more than the auto lock when you start moving. I was pretty sure that all cars were supposed to be able to unlick when you pull the handle from the inside … I guess I was wrong

My 2005 Scion tC had this feature! Lock when you start the car, unlock when you turned it off. I was disappointed the FRS didn’t get the feature and pretty bummed the GR86 doesn’t have it either. It was such a nice little luxury to have

In the Dutch version of the manual (page 93) it says that the doors are locked when a speed of 5km/h has been reached.
Can’t check on my car until next week if it actually does.

Def NOT on US spec cars – pulling the handle does not UNLOCK either! I wonder if its UNLOCKED from OUTSIDE too ?
That’s bad recipe for car jackers – doors no longer locked by default.. Yes risk is low, but how many road ragers video have you seen where aggressor tries to open door of other vehicle ?
Between stupid non-latching turn signal and non-auto-locking doors – not sure which I like least.

Thankfully I don’t feel the need to lock my doors while driving in my area. If I needed to lock the doors, I’d be annoyed if the inside handle wouldn’t unlock the door. That doesn’t even seem safe! The other day I accidentally locked the doors with the fob and I honestly couldn’t find the unlock button on the door because I’d never used it before.
I’ve gotten used to the turn signals and don’t even think about them any more. They do have a detent between lane change and turn, but ideally it could be a little more pronounced. You just have to re-learn operation force from heavy to light.
I wish I could leave the headlights on and have them turn on and turn off with the engine like they do in my Spider. I drive with the lights on at all times for safety, day or night, and it’s a slight pain to turn them on and off all the time when I start and stop the car.

I was expecting an auto-lock feature once you hit 5MPH or so and then auto-unlock when you shut off ignition (since I’m manual). With an automatic you could lock once in D and unlock once in P.

I had a 2004 Pacifica (18 years older than this 2022 BRZ) where you could customize the door lock behavior with a little fluorescent LED screen on the dash. Something like:
- Lock All Doors Above 16 MPH? Y / N
- Unlock All Doors in Park? Y / N
- Unlock Doors One Press or Two? 1 / 2
- Unlock Driver Door Only One Press? Y / N (If selected, two presses to unlock all doors)

I had a 2002 Ford Focus base model that could automatically lock it’s doors. The fact that a car 20+ years newer can’t do it is embarrassing. Granted, I’m already used to it from driving an FR-S for 7 years, but it’s still pathetic that they didn’t bother to upgrade this with the new generation.

If there were a tactical reason for leaving the auto-locking function off, then I might understand it. Every study I’ve read says that a locked door reduces the chance of the door popping open during a crash and increases passenger survive-ability. So WTF Subaru?

Automatic multipoint locks
Automatic locking when the door is closed.
The AS 3500 and AS 3600 automatic multi-point locks lock the door through the additional lock cases by simply closing it. This provides complete protection against burglary without locking with the main lock – permanent burglar protection and convenient operation. Both automatic locking systems can be retrofitted with motor A, supplied as an option, and converted into electromechanical multi-point locks. They can then be unlocked automatically by the control system or access control system.
AS 3500
Non-contact magnetic technology and uncluttered installation.
AS 3500 operates without contact. Without percussion latch in additional locks, it works exceptionally quietly. The lock does not protrude when the door is open. The massive hooks recessed into the faceplate and almost invisible are activated only when the door is closed by a magnetic release mechanism, which automatically compensates for clearance tolerances. Since the hooks, which are clamped in their final position, are pulled out for locking from the bottom up, they remain functional even when the door is upset.
AS 3600
Automatic locking with mechanical release four times more security.
AS 3600 locks the door in four places at the same time with two latch bolts and two massive swivel hooks. For this, a mechanical release mechanism is installed in the latter, which activates four locking elements in the cases of additional locks when the frame part is touched. By pressing the door handle or turning the key, they return to their seats again, tighten and lock until the next release. The bolt of the main lock can be closed through the cylinder and thus block the handle.
AS 3600 C
Reliable and convenient solution for apartment buildings.
The AS 3600 C lock is suitable for doors in apartment buildings that do not have to meet the requirements for escape doors or anti-panic
(EN 179/EN 1125). Even when the door is locked, the lock allows you to quickly leave the building without a key, for example in the event of a fire. In this lock, the bolt of the main lock was abandoned, which allows not to block the handle. The automatic lock is activated mechanically by means of two Softlock latch pins and two solid hooks.
Benefits of the product
- From the technical point of view of an insured event, a door is considered locked if it is closed. *
- burglary protection ensures easy closing of the door
- high burglary protection up to RC2 according to DIN EN 1627-1630
- AS 3500: Extremely quiet and flush-mounted thanks to non-contact magnetic technology
- AS 3600: quadruples safety, tolerance-insensitive release mechanism
- AS 3600 C: no bolt in the main lock – handle can always be used
- no functional failures when the door sinks
- AS 3500: stainless steel faceplate
- main lock with plastic-covered latch, maintenance-free
- child lock, as standard a wide range of accessories for maximum flexibility
- for standard door heights from 1600 to 2400 mm
* Depending on the achieved test result of the door structure and the declaration of the door manufacturer
Installation advantages
- Can be used for opening to the right and left according to DIN standard by simply changing the latch of the main lock
- AS 3500: two additional magnetic releases snap into standard frame pieces
- AS 3600: Fall pins are easily repositioned
- AS 3600 C: Same milling dimensions as AS 3600 and AS 3500 locks
- Standard frame parts with Q-adjustment can be used
- Versions for Swiss round cylinders
- Fast and easy production and installation due to identical milling pattern
- Maintenance-free Softlock latch
A-motor: Retrofit for extra driving comfort.
Both automatic locking systems can be upgraded to electromechanical multi-point locks. This will enable the door to be unlocked also by electronic devices, such as an intercom, KFVkeyless electronic access control system, or a KFV fingerprint scanner.

- advantage compared to the door chain: no scratches on the surface of the door
- Compensation of clearance tolerances with 12.5 mm spring-loaded locking pin
- Door lock T4 factory-installed: unlocking possible at any time also from the outside via the main lock
Daytime unlocking: you can leave the house without a key.
The automatic function can be temporarily deactivated with the small lock lever. The combination of the KFV day latch or the E-relay in the frame part allows you to temporarily leave the house without a key, as the door can simply be opened.
- V AS 3500 easy to retrofit without additional milling in profiles with fitting groove – instead of door guard
- AS 3600 integrated in the main bolt: Retrofit or pre-installed at the factory

Automatic door lock: types, design differences
The door, which is installed at the entrance, should not only be a decorative part of the interior, but also a structure that ensures the safety of residents. But, protection is provided not only by the doors themselves, but also by the locks they contain. Without installing the right lock, the quality of the door will be useless. Lock systems are installed both on the input and on the interior products. Different systems of door devices are manufactured, which have different functions.
Features
Locking systems differ in the method of fastening, and basically they are divided into two categories – these are mortise, as well as overhead.
The second type is simply self-installing on the inside of the door.
Rim locks
The first type of locking system cuts into the leaf itself from the side.
Mortise mechanisms
The main parts in any lock are: secrecy and a moving device. The element that recognizes the key is a secret, and it has several types: mechanical, electromagnetic, and also electronic. The mechanisms themselves are divided into groups, they are known as:
- cylinder;
- lever;
- with code;
- disc.
Mechanical locks are very common. The locking mechanism in this product is a rod made of steel. It goes into a specially installed plate, which has a groove. After the correct action, the doors close tightly.
Mechanical devices
Electromagnetic systems have a strong electric magnet as a lock, which is attracted to a pre-installed metal plate. Electromechanical products are a simple deadbolt with an additional electric drive.
Electromagnetic locks
In order for a lock to be reliable, it must contain certain properties. First, it is necessary to note the increased degree of secrecy – this is the most important characteristic. Then, the case is better to be made of durable material. The thicker the metal, the more reliable the system. Of course, for interior doors it is not necessary to install an expensive locking system. In this case, decorative properties and beautiful fittings will play a greater role
Today you can often see door structures that, in addition to the lock, have special additional mechanisms for fixing. Widely used steels:
- all kinds of latches;
- crossbars;
- cut-in parts;
- overlays.
Mortise mechanisms are installed in the canvas, so they are almost invisible from the back side.
[adinserter block=”1″]
For greater reliability, they are equipped with special safety devices. At the time when the handle is set in motion, the action comes to the cam. He, in turn, presses the latch, and helps to make backward movements.
Simultaneously with these processes, the spring is stretched. When the handle returns to its original position, the latch is set in motion only due to the fact that it has a bevel. A movement is made that causes the spring to fire on its own, and the latch slams.
In such a system, the spring of the latch itself acts as a lock. When there is pressure on the latch, another spring is triggered and snaps the bolt. Using a key, first of all, with the grooves on the surface, lift the existing latches that fall out of the holes at the top.
After that, the grooves on the product are pressed onto the crossbar and move it forward. When the groove returns to its place, the latch again falls into the upper hole. Thus not allowing the bolt to act automatically. The system has such an opportunity to operate with a double circuit, since the bolt has two niches at the bottom.
Arrangement of products
Reliability of disk locks is carried out thanks to the various protrusions that are made on the plate. It happens that there are up to 9 of them0.
Lever locks have high secrecy. They contain special recesses that are located at 90 degrees to the groove. The steel box has spring plates that vary in size. The bolt, which is designed for fixation, can work at the moment when the key lifts and grabs the plates.
Cylinder systems have increased reliability due to a special channel that is made for the key. The present pins with a spring do not allow the key to turn. When the key inserted into the lock raises all the pins, then the locking mechanism will rise and the cylinder will turn. These locks are considered mortise locks and can be used and locked like regular locks. These are one of the most reliable types. There are many keys for such products, and they are all completely different.
Important information
Automatic mortise door lock is a product that acts as a locking device. They are completely embedded in the canvas. They look beautiful and are very easy to use. But, installing them is not so easy. In addition, the insert into the canvas significantly weakens the door structure in the place where the installation took place. The choice of a lock largely depends on which door, according to the material of manufacture, they will be installed on and what requirements are imposed on the system.
Mortise automatic lock for metal doors
Mortise locks for wooden doors
An important aspect in this process is the dimensions of the case. If they are large, they can weaken the door leaf, and installation is not easy. Preferred, of course, small castles. You can choose the most optimal secrecy in a given situation, from the lowest to the highest. This will depend on the required degree of protection.
It is not practical to install a locking system with high secrecy on a wooden door. It is expensive for the price, and the door itself is not very stable. Small cylinder locks are most suitable for such designs.
Automatic lock in wooden structure
Locks for metal doors
In order to justify the cost of expensive and high-quality locks, it is necessary to purchase a structure made of durable material, install it firmly in the box and properly fit it in level and size. For this reason, locks are most often installed on a canvas with a low price, which are not prepared for steel products, so that their price is economical. But, this is not the right move.
A problem with a lock on a steel structure is more difficult to solve than on a wood product. If you want to save money, you can purchase a lock that is affordable, but install it on steel doors.
On solid steel doors, it is better to use two locking systems of different types, for example: cylinder and lever. One of them will serve as a power one, which has a high resistance to breaking. The second will serve as an auxiliary, it is suitable for closing the doors during daylight hours or when the owners are temporarily absent. They have little resistance to hacking, but they are subject to high requirements for reliability, as well as secrecy.
[adinserter block=”2″]
A mortise lock having a hook bolt that is extended and then removed when the key is turned 360 degrees. You can use such a lock with other devices together, the main thing is that they meet all the necessary requirements according to the standard.
Automatic cylinder lock for indoor doors. When the handles are pressed, there is a free exit and automatic closing, which are set by a special button located on the front bar. The kit includes fasteners.
Another type of cylinder lock that cuts into the leaf has a different system: when the key is turned, the bolt comes out by about 2 cm and the automatic locking occurs immediately. To open, you need to turn the key in the opposite direction. You can also use the button: when the key is turned counterclockwise, the transition of the locking system to the day mode is set and the bolt goes out only 14 mm. In this case, the lock can only be opened by turning the handle.
The lock installed on the entrance doors, which has automatic locking, is opened by pressing the handles. The mode is predetermined by the button located on the bar in front of the lock.
Locking system for profile door structures with automatic locking. An element such as a bolt is located inside the body, its exit is free while pressing the handle.
The lock, which is installed on the interior doors to the bathroom, has a special latch that can be closed from the inside.
