Is there a hold open mechanism?

Their is a metal . slip tap on the plunger to move in locking position by friction.

Yes there is and that is the reason that I like it. My wife was in a wheel chair and the hold open mechanism let me give my full attention to the patient, and not have to think about messing with holding open the door.

No, there isn't a trick haha. Mine really snap shut pretty hard so it takes a little strength to get them open but I never had a problem. Good luck.

It does not have a latching mechanism to hold open or closed. The hinges on both sides are spring loaded so it will stay open and it does not fall closed. Even if pulled down my 4 year old could push it up from inside with little to no effort as long as no one intentionally sits on or holds closed.

there is no locking mechanism. you can close them but they don't lock. hope this answers your question

Yes, there is a small latch that you can switch so the lid stays open. Very useful for taking the bag out or putting in a new one

Tes, you can lift lid w/ hand (not engaging the pedal system) and it stays open.

No it does not have that option. The spring that closes the gate is fairly strong and will snap back quickly if you don't hold the gate open, especially if you use the foot petal. I think you could rig something to keep it open, but nothing comes with it to keep it open.

Assuming it's turned on(far left/mute button),The solid up arrow with a bar under it should make it open or close completely. The side by side up or down arrows are for opening or closing any amount you choose. I've forgotten for sure, but it seems like I remember a screw (with a label that says"remove this screw) that held the cd carriage locked for shipping. Maybe it won't let it open the lock screw is still in (if there was one). Anything beyond that, I'd say it's defective.

Yes, but the terms are 'push-to-open' and 'pull-to-open' but essentially means the same thing. There is a PDF of the manual on line that explains how here; http://www.rotech.com.au/uploads/34346/ufiles/instructions/SENTINEL_VA_INST.pdf

No there is no handle but there is a slot where you place your hand and pull open.

No. It locks in a partial crimp position so you can't open it until the crimp is complete, but the crimp it one action from open to closed.

There's no latch or anything, but there is a slightly magnetized strip on the cover that keeps it closed. I haven't had any problems with it coming open accidentally.

Yes, there is a locking mechanism for the lid to remain open. This facilitates removing and changing the bag.

Yes. There are two screws ar the bottom of the face that need to be removed and then you have to hit the open button and you will feel the release lever behind the face while it is open. Once you remove the face, the mechanism will retract. .

There is a clip inside that engages when you open . You need to pull it to the side with a fingernail as you are closing it back up.

No, it doesn't lock open if you pull or push it all the way. There are other brands here in Amazon that offer that feature.

It does not have that feature. It's either locked (you can't open it from either side) or open.
