Angular Material 2 Datepicker closed event not executed (Angular 4)

I am using the Angular Material 2 Datepicker with Angular 4.x - when I select a date it should emit a function when the datepicker closes (it closes when a date is selected). I basically want to be able to select a date and not have the datepicker close (it should remain on the screen and highlight the selected day)

This is based on the following code which works fine on stackblitz - but not within my own app for some reason? https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ysspzm-ckkrbd

-NOTE- The stackblitz code is some generic code I came across and isn't the same as my code below (although it is almost identical)

// component

@Component({
selector: 'app-datepicker',
templateUrl: './datepicker.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./datepicker.component.scss'],
})

export class DatepickerComponent {
@ViewChild('keepOpen') _input: ElementRef;

  _openCalendar(picker: MatDatepicker<Date>) {
      picker.open();
      console.log('here1'); // i see this in the console
  }

  _openCalendarClosed(picker: MatDatepicker<Date>) {
      picker.open();
      console.log('here2'); // never ever see this in the console log??
  }
}

// html

<input
        matInput
        [matDatepicker]="picker"
        placeholder="Choose a date"
        (click)="_openCalendar(picker)"
        #keepOpen>

<mat-datepicker-toggle
        matSuffix
        [for]="picker">
</mat-datepicker-toggle>

<mat-datepicker
        #picker
        class="fixed-open"
        opened="true"
        (closed)="_openCalendarClosed(picker)">
</mat-datepicker>

Looks like material 5.0.0-rc.1 is the version where the datepicker component recieved the ability to output the closed event. You mentioned that you're using material 2.0.0-beta.12, so an update would be needed in order to support this behavior.
