-This tool is used to help inspect and manually place locks for the [[:interlocking]] system. To use it, right-click on switches or signals. It will open a formspec that tells you whether there is a lock applied to that component and where that lock came from. If there is no lock currently applied, you can manually place one, and it will persist until it is manually removed.

+If there is no lock currently applied, you can manually place one, and it will persist until it is manually removed. If a lock is applied, you can remove it. Removing a lock that was automatically placed is useful in case a route is removed but still set, but in general it is not recommended
 This tool can help in situations where you do not know why you cannot move a switch, or where you want to place a manual lock to prevent switches from operating.
