Locking tuner on Luke III – can I pop the string back in?

Locking tuner on Luke III – can I pop the string back in?

Hi everyone

I was tuning my guitar down a step, and I turned the locking tuner’s knob (on the low E string) to loosen it. Must have gone too far, and the string popped out of the lock. Is it possible to put it back in a tighten the knob again? Or will I need to restring it?

Also, this is my first guitar with locking tuners. In general, when you’re tuning the guitar, do you need to loosen the locking part to allow you to tune? Reason I ask: I notice, for example, that I’ll tune all the strings down a step, but when I come back to the first string, it’ll have gone back to E rather than Eb.

Thanks in advance for your help
