3 day another brand anti gravity chair didn't lock plastic in any position other than upright. What is this lock made of and does it stay locked?

It can be locked in any position, by turning a plastic knob by each of the arm rests.

The locking mechanism appears to be made of some type of composite plastic that locks down into a channel of "grooves / teeth." Once you lock down the levers into the channel, it stays put. I'm a hefty fellow and when I sit in it in ANY position after locking it down, I can move around and push on the back and it does not come loose or slip. Other chairs just crimp down on a tube and start sliding when pressure is applied but these chairs actually work. Hope this helps.

I recently ordered this chair. The clamps are made out of rubber type material with grippers. This design makes it clamp on very tight. Now, if you are going to leave the chair installed all the time which is what I do, you might want to check if it still hold every time you let your kid in (just as safety factor)

It is vary study. The only thing is that the locks are plastic so I would suggest buying a new ones.

This chair broke within 3 months of using it. Ours just had plastic arms and that is what broke. Is that what you are looking for?

Mine has small rubber squares on the bottom - but I wouldn't rely on that to keep it secure. there are 2 sets of straps that you can use to secure the seat; one goes below the seat, one goes behind the back support. These two are sufficient to keep chair in place.

The arm rests are hard plastic, but I have six of these now for our office, and everyone loves them. I sit in this thing 8+ hours a day, and I challenge you to find a better chair under $500!!

not the one I have - I wouldn't have wanted them to lock which would reduce the chair's utility.

The plastic is just a cover. Inside is a hard steel/sturdy piece that does the actual locking.

Did your wheelchair originally have a belt? My daughter's chair did, so all I had to do was unbolt and remove the old belt and replace it by bolting on the new one. It helps if you engage the lock in the middle, so that you don't get one side upside down and have to repeat the process.

Technically, there is no lock, but once I set it in place it stayed put. There has been no sliding at all, it stays where I first put it.

Maybe you can gorilla glue the part back on. Also, the plastic's pretty thick. Someone might be able to screw it on in a way that would enable you to use the lock. Can't the manufacturer replace the lid entirely?

Interestingly enough, I believe I have the same issue. My chair arrived and, after some close examination, I realize that the mechanism inside the hydraulic lift was missing. This may sound silly but, considering that the chair was the perfect time for my counter, I just let it be. I believe there is something salty with the chairs.

there is a kind of notch it sits in. It doesn't 'lock' in. But the notch is coated in rubber. I've moved mine all over and its been bumped and hasn't shown any signs of falling out. but if you turn it sideways or upside down it won't hold. Hope that helps.

Make sure the foot bar is not in the down position which is lock and nothing in way of fold areas. My chair has not needed lubricant.

Back wheels lock completely so chair stays immobile enough that I can help my father into a standing position without the chair moving. Hole in the middle is as large as a regular toilet seat.

Yes, It has a locking knob on each side of the chair. You can tighten them and stay in the upright position. We have had them 6+ months and are very happy with them. No problems at all.

I've not tried to lock mine and haven't gotten fully inverted yet. Might want to email the company, they are very responsive.
