do these break if there locked and are manually opened or vise versa

No, they don't. I bought these actuators to use as a cheap alternative to solenoids in an animatronics project, and I put springs on them so they would open back up after I triggered them. They worked just fine; I don't see how you cold damage them by pushing them in and out manually.

No they do not break if you lock your car manually or open them manually. Hope this helps.

No. They allow for manual operation. I've installed to sets of these They've held up really well

They actually do not work well because the locking mechanism is only held in place by gravity in the position you see in the packaging. They top part does not snap. If any lateral pressure is put on the clip when mounted sideways, it will pop open.

They do not lock ...but they are tight so they don't collapse unless you want them to. I'm very happy with them ..there made well.

The closed position stays closed but I wouldn't say they lock. Hope that helps.

They are not really locked, just very tight. Use 2 pair of pliers and make a quarter turn. Once in place the swivels they work great, although they have a firm resistance. The bearings are lubricated.

Yes, they break very easy. they have a score mark that helps break them. They don't always break exactly in half, but close.

Sorry I can't help you. It literally broke in to pieces before we could ever use them. Perhaps I got a bad one but I wouldn't recommend this item.

Most if not all of this brand of locks have a warentee. I did not get a paper but keep some proof of purchase or register your keys. All you'd have to do is send the broken peices to kryptonite & they should reimburse you.

You have to be careful, but you can, I used a small flat screwdriver with just a little pressure and push in just a little while trying to pry apart. I was able to do that and reuse mine. Again, don't use too much force because it could break, but they would probably send you another. Hope this answers your question.

Yes, they can break, I've broken the 'fit together clips' on two so far. The first one broke freeing a snow plough pick up truck and the second one broke on my car in snow deeper than its underbelly. Originally I was going to throw out the broken ones but instead I'm going to try wiring them together with heavy gauge wire. I can't see why the won't work, its just a different way of connecting them. The clips are like interlocking plastic hooks.

Manually. When they are down you flip up, and they lock, then using side button to release to flip back down

Nope. You just yank it open. (which causes one to question how well the safety interlocks work)

I am sure you tried them upside down and inside out? LOL. I don't believe this is a question for a person who bought the lockbox. My answer would be that Amazon is great about returns. I would return them and get one that the keys work with. The two I bought worked with their keys. Hope you find a solution.

Mine just arrived and the keys were absolutely locked inside the box. The latch rests up against a piece of sheet metal to hold it shut. I applied the universal solution to every situation: Force. Pulled it apart; the metal inside barely deflected; I bent it back. Still, how the heck could this happen?

I actually didnt even look to see. They are from a well known brand. I needed them for travelling so If they broke I guess I would have dealt with it then. I will be a bit smarter next time. Might be best to check on the sales page. Cheers

Yes the break locks! You will need that for day-to-day use. Mine was the first review and is now for sale. Llrcb50@yahoo.com

I recall that they snapped on with some force. The product is metal and not plastic, so it should not break. I may have used a rubber mallet to get them on. I have had the product for at least five years and it is still functional and very useful.
