A padlock or key icon nearly always means the keypad is locked, not that the cabinet has failed.

A padlock or key icon nearly always means the keypad is locked, not that the cabinet has failed.
Try a long-press first: press and hold the main SET/OK key (or the up and down arrows together) for 3 to 5 seconds. Many commercial controllers use one of these two lock toggles.
If it happened after a power cut: disconnect power for 60 seconds, restore power, then try the long-press unlock again.
Confirm you are not in a special mode: if the display looks “stuck” (no response to any key), note any icons or alarm codes and avoid random button combinations.
If the controller still will not accept inputs, treat it as a support issue and log what you see on the display before calling for help.
