lockers i have found generally dont disengage till there is no binding pressure from the gears being placed on them. this is true from centre diffs to front diffs i have used from my jeep to dads old range rover and army 110 centre diffs. this is due to the deactivating springs or what ever mechanism used do not apply huge amounts of pressure usually a jolt bump or turning can unlock quickly to lock in you apply pressure. the 110's have light when you move the centre lock off the light stays engaged till it actually does disengage. it can stay on for 1km on flat smooth straight road or get bumped off in 1m.
