Absolutely. In fact, when you first set up a Fire Tablet, you can enable the power button to lock the screen by simply pressing the power button. That will turn the display off. Pressing the power button again will turn the screen back on, but you’ll need to enter the passcode to access anything again. Once you’re done, try pressing the power button to turn the screen off, and again to turn it on again. You should now have to input your chosen passcode before the tablet screen will unlock.
How to Lock Down a Fire Tablet for Kids
If you want more control over the tablet’s settings, you can always add a Kids profile to the Fire tablet. This lets you control various aspects of the tablet’s use, as well as give you more in-depth parental controls. You can access those by going to Settings > Parental Controls. There you can add additional passcodes for various aspects of the tablet, monitor usage, and restrict access to certain apps or media based on age range and other factors. There’s even the option of remote monitoring, so you can see what the tablet is being used for from your desktop PC, laptop, or smartphone.
