Garage lift for home garage

[mrgreystone]

Hello everyone, I have spent the past hour reading old threads on garage lifts without finding a great answer to what I was looking for.
I am in the midst of researching 4-post garage lifts for my home. Safety is my number one concern. Are there any lifts that are able to be locked out? I want to be sure that I am the only one who can operate the lift, and that my two children can not accidentally (or intentionally) operate it. Do any lifts have a master key switch (or similar idea)?
Also, I have read where Bend-Pak has special locks integrated into their lifts as an added measure of safety in the event of a cable break. Are there any other "above and beyond" safety features I should be looking for?
In terms of quality and reliability, is Bend-Pak generally considered the benchmark?
Just to reiterate, safety is my top priority. I need to feel 100% comfortable with whichever lift I choose to install at my home so that I can rest easy when my children are out in the garage.
Thank you in advance!

Surely locking your children out can be covered by the electrical installation? Power the lift through one of those big red rotary switches that can be physically locked with a padlock. No chance of it being accidental operated then.

Any decent lift will have a mechanical interlock so it can’t accidentally be lowered.

Im not sure if this is a genuine post or not......if you want to be 100% safe for your children then keep the garage locked so they cant get in......there are many dangers in a garage....if it just the lift your concerned about then fit a circuit breaker out of reach and only switch it on when you want to use it.......do you have an E type or interest in them.....Steve
