Can someone explain to me how the lock feature works? Thanks!

I have never encountered with this kind of problem. I have this device for more than a year. I love it.

The lock switch disables the buttons on the wall console AND DISABLES ALL GARAGE DOOR REMOTE CONTROLS. Found out the hard way when someone flipped the switch and suddenly the remotes in the cars and the wireless remote outside the garage door no longer worked to open the garage door. But, it is great for vacation security.

If the lock is activated while the door is closed then it prevents the power head from being operated.

There is a small button at the top or bottom of the device. This button is used to secure the garage door from opening by some one Without your permission or when you go to vacation to make sure on one has access to get to your home.

The lock feature is why I must now order our third one of these wall controls. We use the lock feature whenever our (indoor only) cat is in the garage so the door cannot be opened while he is out there. Frequent use wears out this feature, which has the tactile sense of being cheaply made.

Above the buttons there is a toggle switch (lock/unlock). Slide to the lock side and prevents the opener from working. Nice feature for when you are on vacation. This product is rather cheaply made and the switch on mine has shorted, so it no longer locks the unit. I imagine it could break on the lock position in which case you could get locked out of your home.

You pick up the back and then quickly press down. It click/clacks back down. You have to push it forward to the extreme [that undoes the lock mechanism] and then quickly press it down, all in one motion.

The feature is called "One Touch Locking" and to disabled it you would follow these instructions:[Master Pin] #3 # (Advanced Lock Settings)3 # (One Touch Locking)3 # (Disable feature. 1# would enable the feature.)

Yes it can lock. You also have the option of removing the internal locking mechanism.

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!

In my experience the unit has never automatically locked, but then again I don't have or use any automated controlling apps on my phone or tablet either. So the only way to lock when outside is the key like all regular locks or faster is to just hit the Schale button which is right above the numbers and it electronically locks. Of course inside the you simply turn the knob.

Hello Lisa. so you enter your code. Walk through the gate. Close the gate....and you now want to leave. So you press this button (resembles a door bell) and it activates the lock to the open position and you open the gate and exit. Simple as that! I truly enjoy this device!

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

When you hear a couple clicks while pulling it out you should be able to release and it will lock. Sometimes it takes a couple tries to get it in the right spot. It must be in the click stage to lock.

Dear Sara. I bought it for my wife a "coon's age" ago. We've never used it (but I'm sure there is no lock). You just depress the top button to use. Sorry, can't help much.

It does "lock," but not in the way I believe you are saying (there is no latch to unlock it if that's what you mean). If you extend it out fully, it will "lock" but a push will retract it back in. Just the same when it is fully retracted, it "locks" into place there as well, but again, with a slight pull, it comes unlocked. It is not a free flowing slide. Confusing I know, but I hope it makes some sense.

You are going to have to look at the manual. I set mine when I received it and it has not changed. There is a way to lock it, but mine is not locked and I have lost my manual. You might have to contact the company to get a new manual.....Deb

I don't believe so. The documentation for my lock does not appear to have an option for it *not* to lock automatically...

I just received this and as far as I can tell, when you enter the house it will automatically lock behind you. But when you leave the house, you have to manually unlock the door and it won't automatically lock. It just beeps over and over to remind you to lock the door. Either I'm doing something wrong or this is a HUGE flaw in the design.
