There is an option to uninstall Karabiner.
open Karabiner-Elements
goto the 'Misc' tab
and clic 'uninstall...'
(I think that the prefs remains, but that unactivate Karabiner)
These two commands will “unlock” the apps:
sudo chflags nouchg /Applications/Karabiner-E*
sudo chflags noschg /Applications/Karabiner-E*
It locks itself to keep poorly-written programs from mucking with it.

"macOS Sierra support status
Karabiner does not work on macOS Sierra at the moment.
We are developing Karabiner-Elements which provides simple key modification for macOS Sierra at first.
(Karabiner-Elements works well on macOS Sierra. We are working on fixing several remaining issues.)
We'll start updating for the full featured Karabiner for Sierra after Karabiner-Elements is completed.
