Does it lock open so you can use it on your lap?

It does not lock open but I have no problem with it. My laptop keyboard stopped responding so I just lay it on the keyboard and it works fine.

It doesn't lock in the open position. Therefore if you put on your lap, it will semi close unless you put something flat on your lap to put it on (like newspaper or note book.

This keyboard did not connect to my iPod so I returned it. It was supposed to be Bluetooth compatible but it was not. I bought a small nonfolding keyboard that was Bluetooth compatible so I use that.

It doesn't really "lock" open. One just needs to pull the lid down to close it.

There is a tab on the bottom that holds an ipad or something of that size up and the top of the Lapgear is held open by an arm, but it would be awkward with the shape of the laptop. That's just for me, however. I just tried my laptop on it, and the weight is supported. As I said, just a bit awkward.

OMG! NO! There is nothing to prevent the legs from telescoping shut all on their own. No locking mechanism. I put a manilla folder on mine with some papers in it, and came back to find one leg collapsed and papers all over the floor. If my 17" laptop had been on this my computer would have been badly damaged! It is flimsy, thin plastic. I do not recommend it for any use whatsoever. Maybe you will have more luck.

It does not. When closed, it is held shut by some fairly weak magnets, but when open, does not do any sort of locking.

It does have a lock and it is on the side of the keyboard and it snaps closed. It says "push" to unfold it.

I am looking at the Eagle Tech Foldable Keyboard as I write this, and can confirm that it does not lock when placing it upon your lap. I would not recommend using in your lap. However, on a flat surface, it works awesome.

Unfortunately no, but it has 7 spaces all together, including the padded space for your laptop. Each space has to be unzipped, so it's not as easy to access as an open pocket would be but it has a lot of storage. I still love it and have had it a year now.

No it does not. But I love this lapdesk. My laptop never slips from the surface.

No it doesn't lock and unless you drill a hole in the side, you will not be able at attach a pad lock either.

I have no trouble w/using it on my lap. I don't bother w/other hard surfaces when I use my laptop and the cooling board. I wonder if others know that using it on your lap is oriented one way, while using it on hard surface, it should be oriented the other. This prevents the prop from getting in your way or digging into treasured body parts. I think it's very high quality and well designed.

Yes it does. The door rolls up, and when you want to close it, it rolls down and zip down each side. Not sure if it's lockable, if that's where you're headed with this question, but I imagine a padlock arrangement could be set up.

I never use it since the back is open and it can not be used on my lap. I don't use my laptop on my desk so it does not work for me.

No, this is small and would not stay on your lap.It is meant to go on a flat surface to hold the tablet.It works fine but it's not going to work in your lap.

No, it doesn't lock open if you pull or push it all the way. There are other brands here in Amazon that offer that feature.

Yes, if you pull it towards you it locks open. If you push it back it just opens, then when you let go it shuts off.

technically no, but on one latch there is a loop where you could put a small pad lock
