# Open & Closed Button

​*Make sure you are logged in to your account and on the traps page.*

### Open/ Closed Button

* **Functionality**: Allows controlling the trap's door.
* **Open**: Lifts the door for resetting or letting animals exit.
* **Close**: Shuts and locks the door preventing escape or for safe transportation.
* **Subtext**: Shows the latest reported door state.

> **Releasing a captured animal:** tap **Open**. This releases the door and returns the trap to **Unarmed** in one step. The trap never auto-releases — see [After a Capture](/getting-started/app/after-capture.md).
