Does the unit move when you push the button to open it? Some mention it is hard to open so I wondered if it's so hard that it moves the unit back? TY

It did move until I put non-skid squares under the front two "feet" which solved the problem totally.

Yes it does move little back when you push the button to open, so sometime we to hold on top before pushing the button to open.

I did notice the open button has some resistance to it but nothing major, and to me feels more solid. The unit does not move when you are trying to open it, at least not in my experience.

there are two finger hold spots just under the button if you put your fingers in ther an push the button with your thumb it does not move

Not in my experience. However, it is a light appliance and I'm sure there are many different ways to apply pressure on the door pad.

Yes it moved back to the wall as we attempted to open it. We decided to go with a different appliance that was easy to open, and returned this one.

I initially thought it was stuck in the closed position, a defect. It was very difficult at first, but you need to turn it to the open position. Now it opens and closes easily.

Unfortunately it tends to stick pretty badly. I was able to open the unit by taping one side of the attachment gently with a wrench; it took some time. No easy trick to it I'm afraid.

Play with the red widget on the back of it...it pops out eventually ...its like a push in and down motion

Its stiff at first, then it opens and closes smoothly. It does require a little hand strength. Now mine opens and closes smooth and easy.

It actually slides open instead of pulling it open. It took us a bit to figure it out too!

It sure did not surprise me to see this question. The entire center section of top, slides in the direction indicated. It does not lift up, nor does it push down. Stick your thumbnail in the end, and it will slide open. Trying to slide it by pressing your thumb on the knurled surface is fruitless. Ignore all the things on top that look like holes that need to be drilled out or pushed in.

Make sur you push it down. It should kind of click. Once in, it's pretty secure. If not, something might be off.

Mine didn't click but opens pretty smoothly. Did you check for any stuck packing materials? Good luck.

the unit I purchased opens completely when you push in the manual release "button" , below the keypad, yes it should open and unlatch the door. It doesn't work great and you have to push it in pretty far to get it to release or unlatch.

Yes, it can be a little difficult but if you rotate it as you push it or pull it. You can move it alone fairly easy especially after u do it a couple of times. Otherwise it is a pretty decent product

What everyone else said. First time you don't think it will open, but it does. First pull is the hardest - it gets easier after that.

I had problems getting mine to slide up. It was a struggle. Once I got it opened, it did click.

Yea, mine lock in both directions. You push until there's a small click and the same for the open position.

Mine is also very hard to open. I do not have to hit a wall. But I open with extreme caution when I open. Other than issue opening, it is awsome.

Mine did but if you tighten it up more it will lock in. You may have to lift it up slightly after pushing the button.

There is an increase in tension needed to activate the buttons but I didn't find it difficult. At first things are kinda firm but once it get's seated in it's just fine. I actually prefer it because I'm not accidentally pushing them.
