# I switched themes, and Locksmith isn't working

## **The solution: trigger a new Locksmith install for your theme**

**Click the "Help" button, and then click the "Update Locksmith" button:**

When changing around themes, Locksmith needs to be re-installed each time you do this. To initiate a new theme install on your *currently published theme*, press the "Update Locksmith" button on the "Help" page:

![](/files/qJhGDJvbOHP13hG2wWkL)

This will trigger a full reinstall of Locksmith's code into your theme - this is important, because Locksmith is able to do what it does via Liquid code in your shop's theme.

## **Using manual locking?**

{% hint style="warning" %}
**This is important!** If you are using Locksmith for price hiding or other types of manual locking, *or any other type of Locksmith code manually added to your theme by a developer or our team,* you'll need to re-instate the code changes in your new theme.
{% endhint %}

If this is the case, contact us via email at **<team@uselocksmith.com>,** and we'll be happy to add the manual code to your new theme for you.
