Lockrights are locked under most conditions, what causes them to unlock is one tire spinning faster than the drivetrain is turning the other tire. so if you are turning the outside wheel will unlock. This is different from an open diff. An open diff the inside tire will slow down and the vehicle will be driven around the corner by the outer wheel. The Lockright drives through the turn using the inner wheel. This changes the way the vehicle tracks in a turn, but you will get used to it quickly.
