Automatic lockers keep either axle from turning slower than the ring gear.

You either have a LOCKER, which you select when you want it locked, or an LSD....which most certainly DOES lock both rear wheels together when one slips a certain percentage of the opposing wheel. Different companies have a different percentage of slip before locking but they do lock. Some are centrifical while others use a clutchpack. You'll have to explain just what an auto-locker is. I've never heard of such a thing. If its unlocked then locks by itself when one wheel slips, it's a Limited Slip, not a locker.
