The Lock-it Opener is intended exclusively for use in conjunction with Lock-it bags.

•    Do not open or tamper with by force – risk of injury and damage
•    Keep mobile openers out of reach of pupils
•    Check regularly that the lock is working correctly
•    Do not charge your smartphone in the Lock-it bag – risk of fire
•    Keep the magnet away from credit cards, medical devices, etc.
•    Check the bag regularly for damage or tampering

Proper use is essential to prevent injury, damage or malfunction.

Magnetic safety – high-performance magnet

Lock-it-Opener devices contain a neodymium magnet in an aluminium housing. Maintain a safe distance of at least 30 cm from:

• Pacemakers, cochlear implants and other medical implants

• Magnetic strip cards (debit/credit cards, ID cards)

• Mobile phones and storage media

• Laptops, tablets, electronic devices

• Key cards, hotel cards, electronic locks

The magnet can also work through wood or plastic – when storing, ensure sufficient distance from metal parts or tools. The stationary openers may only be installed and used by adults/authorised personnel.

Risk of injury from the locking mechanism

Lock-it bags have an internal metal lock with a spring mechanism. Improper handling, such as inserting fingers or tools into the lock area, can result in crushing or punctures. The lock must never be opened, twisted or pried open by force. If damaged, take it out of service immediately.

Risk of damage and disclaimer

Lock-it bags are made of robust neoprene. However, they are not designed for forceful use. Do not throw, hit, tear or twist them, as this may cause material breakage, loss of magnetic effect or damage to the opening mechanism. Please only use the opener on stable, flat surfaces and do not leave it unattended. Mobile openers must not be allowed to fall into the hands of schoolchildren.

Fire and heat protection

The bags are made of neoprene, which can melt or ignite at very high temperatures.

Do not store on radiators, in direct sunlight or in vehicles in hot weather. Do not charge smartphones while they are in the bag. Avoid contact with open flames.

Note on use by children

Lock-it products are not approved as children's toys. The products should not be used by children under 8 years of age without supervision. The magnetic forces and metal parts can cause injury if used improperly.

Prohibited uses

Lock-it products must not be used:

• as permanent storage for data carriers or electronic devices

• in safety-critical areas with magnetic shielding

• in potentially explosive environments

• for purposes other than the intended smartphone security

VS Vereinigte Spezialmöbelfabriken GmbH & Co. KG accepts no liability for

•    Damage caused by improper use (e.g. breaking open, use of force)
•    Misuse by unauthorised persons
•    Use outside the intended areas of application
•    Injuries caused by failure to observe these safety instructions

The product is not subject to labelling requirements for electrical or electronic devices, but complies with general safety standards for school products.

Lock-it products are made from high-quality materials such as neoprene and chrome-plated magnetic steel. Regular care and proper handling are necessary to ensure their function, durability and safety in the long term.

Care of the Lock-it bag (Signal Block)

Cleaning: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For heavier soiling, mild soapy water can be used. Remove any residue with clean water and allow to air dry.

Avoid:

• Washing machines or tumble dryers – heat and spinning damage the neoprene and the fastener

• Alcohol, bleach, solvents, disinfectants or harsh cleaners – these attack the material structure and adhesives

• Abrasive cleaners, rough sponges or wire brushes – these cause abrasion and discolouration

• Prolonged exposure to sunlight – this can make neoprene porous and brittle.

Care of stationary and mobile openers

Cleaning: Clean the magnetic surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not allow moisture to get directly on or into the magnetic opening

Avoid:

• Immersion in water – risk of rust formation in the magnet core

• Cleaners containing alcohol, chlorine, acetone or solvents – these attack the coating

• Scratching with hard objects (e.g. keys, screwdrivers) – leads to irreversible damage to the acrylic.

• Magnetic contact with metal parts during cleaning – risk of injury due to sudden adhesion

Storage and environmental conditions

• Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight

• Do not place on radiators or in direct sunlight

• Do not store under heavy objects or squeeze

• Do not store magnet-sensitive devices in the immediate vicinity

Scope of delivery: 1 x Basic Opener

Required parts: 4 x screws, 4 x dowels (optional), 4 x spacers (optional)

Installation

Determine the position: Ensure that the installation height is comfortably accessible. Hold the magnet against the wall in the desired position. Use a pencil to mark the three drill holes through the holes in the magnet.

Drill holes & insert wall plugs: Remove the magnet. Drill 6 mm wide holes approx. 40 mm deep at the marked points. Insert the appropriate wall plugs completely into the drill holes.

Attach the magnet: Insert the screws through the pre-drilled holes in the magnet and screw everything securely to the wall.

Check stability: Check that the plate is evenly positioned and securely fastened. The opener must not move.
