# Restrict non-members from accessing locked content
If you have locked content that you only want members to access, please go through the following steps to add the Memberply Restrict Pages component to your store theme. This will handle checking if a member has access or not.
{% hint style="info" %}
When a non-member tries to access locked content, a popup message lets them know they do not have access. They are then redirected to another page, which you can customize.
{% endhint %}
