Mend Turn Working Left

can a radiator valve turn itself off?

every now and then one or other of my radiators stops working and when i investigate the valve on the left hand side has been turned off(not the thermostat knob) and has to be opened with a pair of pliers. nobody in the house is turning them off so dont understand how this is happening. can anyone shed any light on this?

helpful answer is if you need pliers to turn it on you need pliers to turn it off look for someone with a key whose always complaining re how hot/expensive/bad for the baby it is

there are no logical answers! Only the green party are able to develop the next generation of hypocrites. You may have to live with it. Good luck Angela!

No time like the present.
