# Using the "Force open other locks" setting
This setting is useful if you have multiple Locksmith locks that cover overlapping content (e.g. collection locks with some of the same products), and want to make sure that each lock grants full access to the content it covers, without other locks preventing access.
To turn on the "Force open other locks" setting, go to **each applicable (overlapping) lock** and follow these steps:
It is found directly under your keys in the section labelled "**Key options**":
You'll also notice that the the key shows a message telling you which keys are forcing open other locks.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: Since this is a key-specific setting, if you have multiple keys, make sure it is turned on for each key. Each key has its own key icon, so that's a quick way to tell if you have multiple keys.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://www.locksmith.guide/keys/more/using-the-force-open-other-locks-setting.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
