What is the purpose of the Auto-lock feature? Does it lock the tv to the bracket, or does it lock the bracket in a closed position? I am looking for

The auto-lock locks the TV to the bracket. As the screw heads on the TV pass through the oblong holes on the mount they push spring loaded locking mechanisms back. As the screws drop to the lower part of the hole the mechanisms spring forward and prevent the TV from being lifted out of the holes without manually pulling them back. A nice safety feature.

It locks the TV to the bracket. It is a great mount you won't be disappointed. Hope this helps!

I am really not sure why that is locked on he screen. You will see that when the TV turns on, but it will go off within seconds. First I would use your remote control and press the Menu button. Go through that and see if something is locked in the ON position and see if that helps shut it off. I would assume that your solution is within the Menu screen. But if you are unable to figure it out, call Best Buy's Geek squad They are pretty good and should be able to assist you. If not, if you happen to have some strange glitch on your TV they can probably facilitate a switch for you. Best of luck. Wish I knew exactly what to do to help.

Sorry about that. Mine also seems to stay "locked" only in the semi-reclined position. But I never fully recline it as I don't want that position. I use it for watching tv only. I do feel that the price and looks are worth every penny. I guess it depends on what one purchases it for. We purchased two and love them. We have limited space, needed the orange color, and wanted something attractive. They aren't over-sized, homely, and dowdy looking like most recliners.

It locks to keep it from telescoping out but it will still move from side to side. I really haven't had a problem with mine. I just push it back flush against the wall. given the size tv it's made for I would'nt think it would be a problem

No. It is solid enough to ride with the TV mounted. Thus the locking mechanism.

i had issues of my tv locking. I am ready to return this device. Does not work as advertized

The mount will move horizontally. I have not needed to lock mine into a fixed horizontal position so it will move if I push on the left or right side of the tv.

I have not researched that feature. I only use the program built into the unit that automatically locks the deadbolt after thirty seconds. Sorry! Please post what you find out...

The TV will turn left or right and the tilt and lock is the whole arm, from 90 degrees to zero.This is so you can tilt it under a cabinet, IF YOU HAVE ROOM.

The lock is to protect your investment in your expensive TV. It makes more difficult for thieves. It is like having a lock on your gate to prevent people from entering your yard. It can be used in a common area where you have visitors. Also you can install it on RV or mobile homes to secure it in place. The lock is not a requirement but necessary on a case by case basis. Hope this answers your question.Thanks.Naresh

Very easy to move the bracket around. You won't have any trouble with your tv

The bracket is part of the case. It hangs on a screw. Mine would go out at least 30-40feet in detecting motion.

No it is set in a fixed position by tightening. It would have to be loosened rotated and tightened again to hold the TV.

Not sure about your specific TV. Our experience was that we could not tighten the bracket enough for the weight of our TV and it tilted forward. Since it did mount to the wall securely we ended up putting a shim to keep the TV from tilting. Your experience may be different. Good luck.

Unfortunately it does not lock. I have it mounted in a somewhat protected area so had not been a problem.

I mounted it under the cabinet where the previous tube TV was held. The bracket tilts back and up so access to the vanity area is not restricted when tv is stored. I created a cardboard cutout of the TV, so I could place the bracket so when folded it would not hit back wall.

I dont see anyway that it could be secured with a padlock. Great TV bracket and easy to install. Don't rely on the level that comes with it though.
