# Proximity Lock

To lock your PC, you can: 

* use the [Proximity mechanism](#lock-your-pc-by-proximity) - blocking will occur when the Bluetooth signal level drops below a certain value 
* [Forcibly lock your PC](/guide-for-hideez-key-bundle-with-bt-adapter/lock-pc.md#forced-methods-to-lock-your-pc) even when you are near it
