Open the bolt and look at the chamber to make sure it is unloaded. Close bolt and turn rifle over. Insert key and depress lock. Remove key. Bolt is now locked in place.

This is more failure of a parent to properly check the rifle and lock the bolt closed on an empty chamber. Safety locks only work if properly used by the ADULTS.
