When 12v is applied does the latch retract all the way into the housing or does some of the latch remain sticking out?

1/8" remains sticking when energized. (even if i push it manually, the latch still sticks out 1/8")

I am afraid I do not know for sure. It seems to me that it might be just fine at an angle...but mine is straight across and I have not t4sted the latch mechanism from an angle. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I looked again at a spare brand new one that was in my garage - with that lock properly installed I don't see you circumventing it without breaking something. That latch doesn't move if in the locked position. I wish there was a way to post a picture - basically there's a tapered section of the lock assemble that slides into the gray housing - then the latch lifts and swings over the catch on the door; when the lock mechanism is pushed down that door is solidly secured. Then locking it makes it so it can't lift or open. Like I said, if that's done right, the housing won't open without you breaking some plastic either on the door or the lock itself.

It latches just fine. The problem I had was that it would never unlatch even after hours of trying and talking with the company trying to resolve the issue.

the battery door detaches and there is a slot on the grip to put it so you don't loose it. the slot is on the section that gets inserted into the camera.in the picture here it is the right where the slot is on the vertical part.

It locks in. It's like plugging it into charging cord. No way it falls out. Actually it kind of difficult to unplug.

I plugged and unplugged mine several times while playing with them and installing them. I didn't notice a latch, and I was making sure they were seated all of the way in.The only problem I had was with the disks getting stuck in the beauty rings. If you have a small flat-blade screwdriver, you might try and see if you can get it between the plastic parts. Gently, lol. Or maybe the corner of a single edge razor blade. Make sure you unplug the transformer, first. Even 12 volts can make a mess.Good luck!

I haven't experienced that with my gate. Is the latch on top stuck in the pushed in position?

I had that problem to start with then I saw where the latch was not locking in all the way. I had to apply a little extra pressure to lock it in place and it has not fallen out after that.

mine latches and stays put just fine, there must be an issue with that one.

Mine work just fine and never fall out. Just make sure it is all the way snapped in.

There is an intermediate internal stop that prevents the battery tray from falling out. Simply pull firmly on the tray to remove it.

At the bottom of the remote there is a small hole. Either you use a tooth pick or paper clip poke through the hole and it will automatically release the latch.

Mine was a little loose, but it just needs to be tapped to snug up the connector tabs. Hope this makes sense and helps.

Don't know of any issues. Maybe the latch coming apart ? I purchased little silicon bands to put over the latch

Lol, i had the EXACT same problem when i put my first 9 Volt in. I just monkeyed with it now. Basically, make sure you put the top side in first (Push in and up), then swing the bottom half into the latches. It feels a little weird, but it snaps perfectly into place with little to no effort. Give it a try a few times and you'll get it.
