To make/have/let someone do something

I just have a quick question regarding: to make someone do something, to have someone do something, and to let someone do something.

For example, if I want to say, "I make/have/let him go out," I believe I would say:

Le obligo a salir.
Le hago a salir.
Le dejo a salir.

Are those correct?

Also, could I say:

Le obligo/hago/dejo que salga. (using que + subjunctive)?

Yes. (I think)

Here "a" just with "obligar". The other verbs without preposition :)
