Mine got stuck open, not sure how I can close it. Seems like I have the opposite problem everyone else is having. How do I close it?

There is a small tab below where the blade ends. You have to press this to the side to allow the blade to close. It is the locking system for the blade and keeps it open. Make sure it is pressed all the way to the left before you push the blade back. If that doesnt work, I am not quite sure what would be weong with it.

I have n idea how it stays closed. But so far it has stayed closed for me. Never had a problem with it opening unless I made it open.

I cannot open mine either. Can't send it back as it is over a month since I bought it. I ordered a different kind of lock. Very disappointed...Alma

That's funny because I had the same question! I tried and tried but could not figure out how to get the darn thing open!!!

Same here; frustrating it does not open even with thorough cleaning and fresh batteries; I'm thinking of returning to step lever to open lid. How hard is that?

lol, your better off than me. I lost my key. But it seems to me I had the same problem, and it turned out to be I just had the have the open and close handle in a certain position for the key to work. Play with that sequence and hope it helps.

mine opened very easily--just tried again. turn it counter clockwise --push to the right where it says open

I have a couple of different types of these. This one is a little stiff to open. Some of them you have to press down on the cover while turning to open it. Try that. If it doesn't work I'll get mine in hand and talk you through it.

yeah, a little tricky. There's a small tab to the left, just move it out a little and the compartment will open up. Others have had the same problem.

Try pushing down on the top then opening at the same time. I think that it is a safety feature. Hope that helps.

When I received mine I could not open it either. I returned to Amazon immediately. I would call Amazon customer service for advice.

I just looked at mine. I noticed that I also had something rattling around inside. Sounded like a small piece of plastic. I saw no easy way to open. It doesn't affect the operation. I'm going to leave it and not worry about it. It's probably just something loose from the manufacturing process.

You just gently press it back in place, it will stay there, oh, you'll think it will pop back open, but it doesn't. I stays.... Bad thing is I lost mine already. :(

I would try to find something to fit in the button to open it back up. From what I remember on mine there is a tiny button to push in there.

Just check youtube on how to open it so you don't break it.It's very east once you get the hang of it.

When I first received this it was extremely hard to open it, just kept trying and it opened. Sorry, not a big help but my experience. -Peace
