LOCK a cabinet

As you design your kitchen, you can lock a cabinet. 

It is beneficial to lock your cabinets to secure your project. Locking prevents the cabinet from being moved. 

Once locked, you can no longer move this cabinet: neither directly in the plan with your mouse, nor with the 3D swap, nor with advanced position settings.

Additionally, a locked cabinet will not move when another cabinet is deleted in a cabinet set. 

Note: Locking a cabinet restricts its movement but does not prevent customization through "replace with," style change, comfort level change, etc.
