the engineer code can be circumnavigated easily on most panels, locking removes that. (on most)

But only by alarm engineers who should know better than messin,

In the job for over 20 years and have never locked a code unless customer not paying, but when sorted unlocked.

But hey, what do i know

What does "trust me I know" mean?

Sounds like there's more to this than you've divulged thus far

Old post tells all, nothing to hide but everything to gain shall we say

Good answer, they are nearly all Texecom Premier

We lock codes to stop a customer under warranty from finding a way to reset an engineer tamper reset without a visit, to see what they have been doing/messing with.

Customers could find a out how to reset an engineer code on most panels off the net, Premiers and old gardtecs are way to easy to reset IMO.

It's difficult to give exact answers if you're being vague with the info ....... but your choice

Not answered the question yet

I still think locking codes is wrong, but with big sites with multiple areas and complex programming that may have taken me hours to work out, why should I let someone else benefit from my hard work, let them work it out for themselves
