  1. The caretaker asked if did the studio windows lock automatically.
  2. The caretaker asked did the studio windows lock automatically.
  3. The caretaker asked if the studio windows locked automatically.Bonne réponse
  4. The caretaker asked if the studio windows did locked automatically.

Explication

The if-clause places the subject before locked and uses past tense because the automatic system had been removed. The competing forms retain did-inversion or combine did with a past-tense lexical verb, neither of which belongs in the embedded clause.
