# Product Lock

> Password-protect specific products while the rest of your store stays open — a paid plan feature.

A **Product lock** password-protects one or more specific products, while the rest of your store stays fully open. This is a **paid plan** feature.

## When to use a Product lock

* You're taking pre-orders on a specific item before it's ready to ship
* You want to give VIP customers early access to one new product without locking your whole catalog
* You're testing a limited release and want to control exactly who can buy it

## Creating a Product lock

Follow the steps in [Creating Your First Lock](/getting-started/creating-your-first-lock) and choose **Product(s)** as the lock scope. Click **Select products** to open the product picker and choose which products to lock — you can select up to 20 products in a single lock. If you need to lock more than 20 products at once, consider a [Collection lock](/locking-your-store/collection-lock) instead.

## Editing which products are locked

Open the lock from the Dashboard and click **Edit**. You can add or remove products from the lock at any time — changes take effect on your storefront as soon as you save.

## Viewing or copying the password

Since a lock's password is a shareable access code (not a login), you can view and copy it again any time from the lock builder — open the lock and click the eye icon next to the password field.

## What customers see

A locked product's page shows Launch Day's lock screen with a password field instead of the normal product page — unless you've turned on [Hide Buy/Shop Buttons](/locking-your-store/customizing-the-lock-screen) instead, in which case the product page stays visible but can't be purchased.
