I bought this 3 months ago, and now it has stopped locking when in the open position. Any ideas?

Make sure there aren't any obstructions where the blade meets the lock. After being in my pocket it can get fuzz caught in there

Check for debris in the mechanism. The newer delica can be taken apart. My original could not be disassembled but had the same problem and I found lint/debris etc. kept the lock from engaging.

I did not have this problem. It sounds to me that one of these things is likely:1. You installed it wrong and you need to take it apart to reinstall. 2. Manufacturer defect.Hopefully you did not close the door and end up on the outside, because then you will have to try sliding something in between the door to push the lock out of the way. It will move even if the door is locked.

When it's locked it just spins. When it's unlocked then will tighten or loosen.

If the knife is already open and you're trying to close it, I would suggest adding more force into the locking mechanism. If it's still stuck for any reason I would ask the seller for an exchange/ return for it being defective.

You need to enter code again and push down on release button (as you did to open door) and close it let go and it will lock, it is a safety feature so you remember to lock it back up.

I never had that problem. Might need to send back or try to bend the fastener to a slightly less round. Mine holds well shut until pulled open. Good luck.

Hi, I purchased a 3 months ago, but I don't have this problem. My suggestion is that request a change with Amazon. Regards

I never had this problem. I had a problem where it would not lock, but I called Amazon and they replaced it immediately.

Guess there must be some problem with your model as mine does not do that. It stays locked in to position. I have to unlock it.

Send it back. They should replace it. I have had mine for more then a year and it stays closed.Henry

This is part of the issue I have had from the beginning. Try turning the knob situated above the handle. It locks the unit in place if you have it seated properly. I hope that helps...

Are you locking the lock when not in use? I suggest if you are to leave it unlocked therefore it will be disarmed

Make sure you have the disk/flange underneath the base seated correctly. Once it is seated you should be able to tighten it up and it won't move any more. From time to time we have to tighten ours up after a month or two of play. Hope this helps.

Mine re-locks after a time out. When I leave, I just close the door and it's locked.

That tells me that one of the locknuts has come out. Take off the rubber bottom and look at the mechanism. You can probably figure out what's wrong by watching it and seeing where it jams. They have a one-year warranty. If you bought it online, you have to send it back to the manufacturer for repair. I fixed my first one many times! Hint: Try not to put too much tobacco in the slot! When you have to pull hard, it wears out those little horseshoe shaped pieces.

I have the same problem. It worked fine in the first 6 months but now it stops working without holding down the pressure.

I think it may be defective. When it's in the flat position and you raise it up, does it make a clicking sound as the locking mechanism functions? if not, then there is something wrong internally.
