I press the button and hear the little box click but the locks only fire sometimes. Is there an additional setting I need to configure?

You should specify if you have a databus interface module such as an XpressKit XK01 or similar installed. If you do not you should have relays to power your door lock solenoids directly or you have the green and blue wires connected to your vehicles electric door lock button (Highly not recommended but possible with diode isolation on some vehicles.)If you use a relay interface you may have to increase the pulse time or do a dual pulse lock/unlock to fully engage the solenoid.If you use an interface module ensure it is programmed for the correct vehicle type and that there are no shorts or misswirings.

If it is the door lock relay that is clicking, you have verified all of the wiring from the Control Module for your Bulldog to the door lock relay. If it is the control module that is clicking and you do not hear the relay click then it may be a relay. Before jumping into a parts replacement I would recommend tracing the wiring to and from the relay for the power door locks. Most of the time it is a loose connection where you connected your Bulldog wiring to the vehicle harness. If you hear the click it is getting the signal, so basically it is between the module and the door lock relay. To determine which wire you simply ask yourself 1 question, is it just one door or all doors that are not operating? If just one door then it is a vehicle problem, if none of the doors operate and it just started happening after the install then it is a wiring issue between the vehicle and the Bulldog wiring.

I had the same problem and it wound up being the main box being bad. I was outside of the warranty and if I remember it cost $40 for them to replace it. If you are 1 year or under, they will repair or replace it free.

Yes it locks great! There is a little button on top that you push down. Locks and unlocks very easily!

Put in a fake combination after you close and lock it. I really never had the problem you're having, but tricking it with a fake combo is the only way I can think to arm it. Then it seems you'd need to put in the correct combo to open it. Good luck. If that doesn't work, contact the manufacturer about a fix or replace ment.

You have to press the button and lock it. It does not have the automatic locking feature.

If I recall correctly (and it's been a few years since I bought this thing), you set the "code" by opening the main box and there is a sort of small little card with what look like little "pins" on it. You switch one or the other to the "on" position making sure the rest are all set to the "off" position. Frankly I wasn't very happy with this item. It wasn't the ring tones that were disappointing. It was the door ringer button. It only worked now and then, and if you didn't press it in just the right place it didn't ring. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, and I wouldn't buy another one either. Hope yours works better than mine did. I was really looking forward to having a door bell too! Very disappointing!

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.

Just closing it should lock it, but you may want to check the "security level" settings. There is high, low, and off. If it's "off" there won't be any security. The security level can by set by clicking the button with a lock under it.

Just turn the deafbolt in locking position. You can always turn it to lock, but only can unlock it with the selected code you chose.

No. I have had much trouble with the buttons. I only use the key to lock/unlock it.

As I remember my locks came set on zero waiting for my combination to be set. If the one that won't open was set to another number and the key pulled then the only way to open it is to try every possible combination. I'm sure Amazon will replace it as defective.

To lock - just push the round button. To unlock - turn the lever either up or down.

I have the same problem. The button simply sticks and the only thing to do is push the left part which happens to be a reset button. I'm not sure if this is a defect or not. The button seems like a rocker switch and you don't want that in this situation.

Mine stays locked until the flame is on, then I push it and it shuts the flame off.

Yes, I had the same problem with the safety lock. The simple fix is to take a hand drill with bit and expand the opening slightly. It still locks but opens with a mild tug. Good Luck.

The button locks (in fact, some times by accident) but I haven't tried long exposure modes.

When you say manually lock from inside, do you mean by pressing the lock button. If the lock button works then the actuator should be ok.
