Anyone know how to automatic lock and open the door with time?

Sorry for my english and... thanks before

Time? You mean minecraft time?

Use os.time() and format it and then get the time and when its 6 in the morning, open the door, when its 6 at night, close

I think he means something like this:

while true do
  local time = textutils.formatTime(os.time(), true)
  if time == "6:00" then
    -- turn lights off
  elseif time == "18:00" then
    -- turn lights on
  end
  sleep(0)
end

I would rather do this though:

local dawn = os.startTimer(6)
local sunset = os.startTimer(18)
while true do
  local e,timer = os.pullEvent("timer")
  if timer == dawn then
	dawn = os.startTimer(6)
	-- turn off lights
  elseif timer == sunset then
	sunset = os.startTimer(18)
	-- turn on lights
  end
end

You could refine this a bit more, it's just an example.
