Are you feeling frustrated because you can't take your ES lampoholder apart?

You have either

a) purchased an ES lampholder which arrived assembled and can't take it apart

or

b) a need to troubleshoot an ES lampholder already wired and can't take it apart.

Why is this happening?

This is because ES lampholders have a safety lock. This prevents the lampholder coming apart when the lightbulb detatched.
