What is the simplest way to lock the unit to prevent unauthorized use? Flip the inside breaker?

Hello Mr. Moore, Flipping the breaker is certainly an option to prevent unauthorized use but to prevent wear-and-tear on the breaker it might be best to have your electrical contractor install a disconnect switch that can be locked. These switches are designed for constant on-and-off use. Thank you. Mike Cosgrove, AeroVironment Customer Service

I looked mine over and found no way to lock it. I do not believe that it can be locked.

I haven't tried to lock it from the outside when it's in unlock mode, but it would make sense to me that you'd have to do this from the inside, since the knob that changes it to unlock mode is a mechanical knob.

just bought one from the USA and converted it as per the instructions DANIEL H have suggested. I confirm the solution working perfectly fine. it was easy: unscrew the back ( full panel ) temporarily detach the two side cables links so the back panel can be flipped open 90 degree. this provide better access to the electric block. pretty much you can see is black except of a U shaped white wire connector that pops out in the middle of the electrics. pull it off using a thin plier and then close back everything making sure of reconnecting the cables links you previously dethatched. enjoy. it works seamlessly. just bought one from the USA and converted it as per the instructions DANIEL H have suggested.

Open it, flip the switch inside, on the bottom right hand corner, enter new combo, flip switch back, close it, scramble the combo it is now locked. enter new combo to open.

Right away, should not have to take breaker out. If it does not reset you have a short somewhere. (Heater) ???

Mine is suppose to lock but does not. Do not buy if you are looking for security.

easy ... just turn it counterclockwise with something long and skinny like a 1/2" extension

like one of the other posters said, you can turn the unit 180 degrees but the outlet will still be to one side of the casing. i think it is all molded plastic so it is hard to change any part's position

You should be able to reset it right away, if it doesn't reset grounding out(something shorting out) or breaker itself is bad

Make sure that you rotate the numbers and line up your combination numbers on white dots.Then you have to press the cable a little bit hard. After that you can rotate the numbers to lock it.

You can just plug it in or do as I did. I bought a electric timer for $ 10 to plug the unit into. Works great.

I replaced one of the given bolts to one I had from another system that has a hole in it for a pad lock. A cable lock around the roll bar through a hole in the jack is always an option as well.

You must have a defective one..had no problem opening mine. Turn counterclockwise.

It depends is the outlet on a timer or are you going to manually cut the power to the lock.

There should be a ring round intention in the sliding glass door handle. Use a small socket and knock it out of the handle. That's where the lock goes.
