The best way i found to get my pits to lock is by getting a rope and have them get the otha end and start pullin em around. after time they will lock automatically to where you can pic them up n swing em like a helicopter. if they dont take to the rope at first then bait it with something like chicken liver blood or pigs blood.

NO!
First of all, PITBULLS JAWS CANNOT BE LOCKED! DUH! IT'S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE! THE JUST HAVE REALLY STRONG JAWS FOR ALL YOU UNEDUCATED PEOPLE! RESEARCH YOUR TOPIC BEFORE YOU SAY SOMETHING, YOU JUST LOOK SO STUPID.
AND ALSO, 'PITBULLS' ARE NOT A CERTIFIED BREED.
Wow. what a disgusting question and a disgusting First answer. As the 2nd answer indicated, it is anatomically incorrect to say that pit bulls have "locking jaws." it's a myth. They simply have strong jaws.
SECOND of all, to the first person who answered: you should be arrested for animal cruelty. Swinging your dog like a helicopter after baiting them with a rope covered in blood? You should be ashamed. God help your poor little dog.
Their throat has little to no muscle under the jaw. Grab the throat and push your thumb firmly in the middle under their jaw. This will cause a gag reflex and or cause discomfort. They will release, it also works well when they start to play rough.
The infamous locking jaw is a myth. The American Pit Bull Terrier and related breeds are physiologically no different from any other breed of dog. All dogs are from the same species and none have locking jaws. There is absolutely no evidence for the existence of any kind of 'locking mechanism' unique to the structure of the jaw and/or teeth of the American Pit Bull Terrier.

Perfect answer ^^^
Pitbulls and pitbull mixes cannot lock their jaws. It is impossible for any dog to lock their jaws. It is true that pitbulls can bite hard or grip but they can't lock their jaws. I get angry to find out people make a fuss saying pitbulls can lock their jobs. But as you know it is impossible they are dogs not chains or locks!
As i said before the answerr above was perfect. So if you have friends who believe pitbulls can lock their jobs understand you can try but it won't happen.
Reccomendation : Do not try to let a pitbull bite you just to prove the myth.
A strong hose
Reach on the under side of the jaw and squeeze...the dog will slightly open it's mouth to release the bite...
NO..... NO DOG OF ANY BREED HAS LOCK JAW !!!! That is a myth ! (Not even the pit bull).....
No dog has a locking jaw. Their jaw may be powerful but NO breed can lock it's jaw. (Not even a pit bull or other bully breed)
That is a myth. Opening the jaws of a pit-bull with a wooden pry bar, will take some strength but no mechanism to lock the jaw doesn't exists. All dogs have the same kind of jaws but the thing is the pit-bull is the only breed who could hang by the jaw for minutes because is more strong that any other breed.

Studies show that the jaw of the Pit Bull Terrier is in proportion to its size and is no different than any other breed of dog. Their is no evidence that any kind of " locking mechanism" exist in the American Pit Bull Terrier.
No he doesn't
A 170 pound mastiff can't do the things a 50 pound pitbull can like bringing down a bull or hanging from the jaw for minutes.
