Overall is this product worth the investment? Does the locking feature work as advertised?

Yes very happy with it..last resort for pain management...works great...started with slower moves and less tilt for vertigo..but several months later no trouble with movement. Adjust it a few inches tsller thsn your true height works best...use it daily.

Yes the locking feature works well. Depending on the angle and weight it may be a little difficult to unlock. I really like the machine. I'm 200 lbs and it works well and it handles me doing inverted sit ups.

In my opinion this is one of the better ones on the market. It works very well and also the foot padding is very nice and not so hard on your feet. The locking mechanism works fine, it locks in multiple places.

Yes, it works perfectly with out a key. But you can lock it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Yes it locks great! There is a little button on top that you push down. Locks and unlocks very easily!

Nope. It locked good so far for me, the only problem is you need to keep tighten up the bolt or it would loosen by itself.

I agree with JacksonsMom - don't put anything very valuable in this box. Mine does lock OK but the lock is kind of flimsy. It works for what I wanted but it is certainly not a safe.

Just saw Caesar's answer..I bought this for my son and he has never had it lock. Back when out..something he told me he wished it did. 5hat was the basis of my original answer

hello--the locking system is easy-- I am older and not a lot of strength in my hands and have no problem at all

No actual locking mechanism but it does sit relatively securely. When operational I do hold it in place just in case.

It is pretty secure. But in very hot weather (+85F), the rubber strap inside the clamp gets a little squishy and starts to allow the lock to shift around. And yes, the lock does rattle. I recommend either taping down the key hole cover (open position) if it is bothering you. I used electrical tape.

Unfortunately it does not lock. I have it mounted in a somewhat protected area so had not been a problem.

You'll probably want to buy hardware to lock it. It comes with a simple slide lock, but no real security features -- best you could do is loop something through the handles that locks, but even the handles can be unscrewed if someone was determined enough.

No locking device. Security is a bit of a concern, but has not been a problem yet.

Yes, it locks. However, because the lock is fairly simple a very determined user could eventually break into the device. I bought two devices, one for my parents and one for my in-laws. Both were skeptical at first, but have since found that the device really helps them stay on schedule. They like it so much that we have no issues with them trying to defeat the device.

Yes it is worth it, the frame lock is different in my opinion and has a nice lock up. Liner locks feel more weak.but you will have to get used to the stiff lock bar for the first week.

It does not lock into place, but I don't find this to be a problem. I would not want it to lock. I am happy with the unit.

Here are the points I will make : 1. Storing this kryptonite U lock will take a bit of thought with bungee cords or such. 2. It is a heavy little thing, about five pounds. 3. It will very likely keep your bike safe, and one cannot say that about most other locks. Other locks have advantages like costing less, weighing less, storing easier, and fitting more posts and racks... but not keeping your bike safe. Final point is that the smaller the U lock the less vulnerable to attack it is, but of course this means there are fewer places that you can lock to. I lost my Trek with a cable lock, bought a better trek and this much better lock..no problems for 2 years in Miami which is one of the many bike theft capitols. I would get this lock and work around the problems that security requires.

Locks only keep honest people honest, just about any lock can be defeated. If type of lock is you main issue I would consider a much more expensive box, have seen them at more than 2 times the price of this mailbox.
