9895/9585 Head Lock Button Just got and have used a 9585 2 wks ago. I like everything about it, except pushing the button to lock the head does not lock the head.

I just got mine today and havent used it yet but tested the lock for you. Works fine right out of the box - perhaps a bit stiff and needs to loosen up but it did lock the head.

Good idea. I had been holding head while sliding lock button. Tried your suggestion. Still doesn't work. Fully convinced now it doesn't work right. Thanks much.

While pushing the lock button, you will also be pushing the head into a slanted position. If there is any resistance to this slant, the lock will not engage. Just be sure the head is allowed to slant at an angle while pushing the lock button into the "locked" position.

I had a similar problem at first with the 9595, and the manual is useless when it comes to this issue. I followed one cardinal rule of dealing with any sensitive or expensive adjustment mechanism: never apply excessive force. After fiddling around with trying the lock slide in various positions I found that when you tilt the head all the way in one direction (counter-intuitive, eh? I thought at first it should be aligned as straight as possible) the lock slide works effortlessly and effectively. You might want to try it a couple more times if you haven't returned it yet.

Those are the tough areas with this shaver. I will try to use the lock for those areas and see how it does. Thx.

Got mine earlier this week and while I'm still trying it out, the lock does work for me. After a few days of shaving vibration, it loosened a bit, but that was solved by just pushing it fully back in the locked direction. Sounds like yours is malfunctioning.

Oh yeah, big time. For me, certain spots (chin, under jaw line, etc) won't get shaved close enough without head locked.

Mine has a little play in the latching. You should be able to just insert the key and turn but may need to press down slightly to release. I have had some trouble with my combination #s to unlock though. I use a combination of 2 or 3 #s pushed at the same time for one of my combinations. This sometimes does not work if I push the sequence too quickly. I do like being able to use more than one finger stroke to equal one entry. I.E. #1 and #2 pushed simutaniously to equal one #.Unless there is quite a bit of gap it sounds like about the same as mine. I have two and the second one does have more gap than the last one I purchased. Mine has a little play in the latching.

Dorothy, your question doesn't make sense. This unit IS a deadbolt. How could you "use" it without it still being a deadbolt? Would you set it to *unlocked mode* and just use it as a $110 doorknob? Why not just use the doorknob instead? Or are you debating on whether to have TWO deadbolts instead of one? Why?

Just saw Caesar's answer..I bought this for my son and he has never had it lock back when out..something he told me he wished it did. That was the basis of my original answer

I have used a few of these without any problems. I would like to say that you have to make sure you put it together correctly when you install it. If you do not install the dial and center lock button in the correct position it will not work but worse yet it can wreck the gears. Good Luck

I was wondering the same thing. I tried pulling on the head pretty hard and it wouldn't budge. It twists in both directions but does not move up and down at all. I'll have to try again when my son isn't using it (it's his bed time right now).

That's a good question, I wondered the same thing, I did a search at different sites using the model number, what I found out is that the picture is in error, there is a button in the middle of the knob to turn to lock it. It's a really nice lock set. hope i answered your question clearly

I could not get it to program, because the unlock button did work on the one I was replacing and you need that to program it. My husband ended up taking parts from the new one to make my old one work. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

This is part of the issue I have had from the beginning. Try turning the knob situated above the handle. It locks the unit in place if you have it seated properly. I hope that helps...

I never had that problem- but if I unscrew the head a quarter turn it goes out. Maybe you could make sure there are no burrs on the main body mating surface or trim it back a little -so the head screws in a little farther -and the center and side contacts touch properly.

I've only had mine for a couple days but despite trying my best to provoke them I've yet to trigger the auto mute with putting my hands on the cans. This could vary by head type but for me the only way I can get them to mute without taking them off is to press in on the cups with my hands. Can't speak to long term longevity but I might not have even know this feature existed if I hadn't read about it.ETA: Should have spent an extra minute looking at the things before writing this in the first place. The automute feature works by a little tether between the auto-adjusting headband and the left earcup (you should be able to just make it in the pictures).

Yes you can, mine actually auto locks after 5 seconds, I never have to lock it myself. I believe this is the default setting but there is also a way of setting up your own threshold time (in the manual) if you don't have you manual you can download the pdf from the manufacturers website.

All i can say is mine did not work......had to get the one with 22733523 on the back......just enter the number above in the search field. had to pay the return freight and the call out for a lock smith to give me the bad news.....

I see yes and no answers on here, so I took out my manual and checked. Not only can you set it to automatically lock after 30 seconds, doing so was simple. Another feature to make me love this lock!

I called on this and they told me that if you use the code to unlock the door, it will auto lock itself. However, if you use the Unlock button on the inside, it will stay unlocked until you re-lock it. What I do not like, however, is that there is no indicator of whether it's locked or unlocked, so you have to push the button to know for sure.

I'm not sure what the problem is. The lock automatically resets itself after you open it using the code. If you have set the lock to 'unlocked' using the knob/lever on the inside of the door, just turning it to the 'lock' position sets it to 'locked'. You can hear the lock setting. There is no need to re-enter the code. Or have i entirely misunderstood the problem? I have two of these style locks and never have to re-enter the code.

Mine clicks backward to a lock position using my finger nail. Stays put until I click it forward. No problem, works well.
