Can you use the locks on regular laces?

It looks to me like you could by I didn't try. You could always give it a shot and if you don't like the results go ahead with the elastic laces.

you could, but without the stretchiness of the included lace material, not certain that would be an ideal solution. the locks have teeth designed for this material, but they would probably work on regular laces, too.

The 'locks' have nothing to do with the function of the laces except to keep the ends from fraying. Lock laces are used IN PLACE of regular laces. Remove and discard the regular laces, replace with lock laces, cut off any excess and clip the 'locks' on the ends. The lock laces are ELASTIC to allow putting them on and off without tying.

No there would be no reason to do that. The laces are elastic and allow you to slip shoe on and off with ease and keep the laces from coming undone while exercising.

Sorry for my late response. I don't see why not. The lock mechanism holds your laces in place. The elastic laces has an advantage of stretching them. You can tighten or loosen your laces easily to your comfort level.

I believe these would work nicely on a pair of hiking shoes. They do allow adjustment for a snug fit. I was even thinking of putting these on my blackhawk boots but they don't have the length to fit. I think these laces are better then standard laces by far.

I think so. They could be set so they don't even have to be undone. I can just pull mine on and off without messing with the lock unless I really tighten them down.

I wish that I had a bigger lock to try for you but all I can do is eyeball it. I have the lock that they suggested. The hole that you have to place it in is large enough...but I am afraid the larger shank might make it awkward to use. Also note on the suggested lock that the shank is a bit longer in proportion to the lock on a standard lock and I believe that is part of it. Think I would buy their lock.

No they can NOT work as lock picks they are way to big I bought them and they are not meant for lock picking

Lock laces.com states they stretch to72". I hope that is enough information.

Hi Andy,There is some play in the length of the laces, I believe they are 48" and you cut them to size when installing them in your shoes. I take size 10 and ended up cutting off about 2.5". In hindsight, I probably could have left them a bit longer but they work o.k. because of the elasticity. As for your size 16's, if you haven't already done so you should ask Locklace directly on their website. They have a page for questions like yours. I hope you get a good answer - it's a great product.

Yes, you open it on the opposite end of the hinged area, snaps open. I had to open my daughters because I left the laces too long. I couldn't open them myself but my husband did with a tiny screwdriver or something like that. I cut the laces shorter and put the lace lock back on and it worked perfectly. Hope this helps :)

Yes you can. I use a luggage lock because the diameter of the hole is narrow.

Yes. I had a set of these which I used almost everyday for a year and one lace began to fray. I called their customer service, sent a pic via email along with a copy of my receipt and I had a new set within a week..awesome customer service and great laces...!!

A bit, ya. I just tie the laces a little looser and it's fine. I also wear wide shoes, so the impact is less noticeable. If your shoe is very narrow at the opening, it could be weird. Shouldn't be a problem though.

It will be pretty hard. It's possible but not simple. You need to squeeze the retainer and pull the laces tight at the same time.

yeah it should, look for zero friction fittings these attach to the shoe through the holes for the strings. These allow the lock laces to move better and like they are called zero friction.

According to the Lock Laces website, the laces are 48" long and stretch to 72". However, if you need them to be shorter, they are made to be cut to length and put the closed end on so each pair will be perfectly tailored to your shoes. I bought several pair for my husband who is having a lot of hand pain and tying shoes was difficult. Once he put these in, they were converted to slip-ons that work perfectly. He's used them on casual sneaker type shoes, really nice leather chukkas (which come up to the ankle), and other styles and each one of them works perfectly. He LOVES them!

Kind of a tough question to answer affirmatively but you can lace them pretty darned tight... let's put it this way: you can lace them tight enough to be uncomfortable/painful if you want to.

Yes! You press down on the lock and get them as tight as you want by pulling the lace. Then release the lock. The lock can be a little hard to press down but it works great and stays in place.

This lock can be used anywhere a regular deadbolt can be used, taking into account, of course, that the shape of this deadbolt lock is narrow and tall, not "puck-like." If the gate is a door, sure. If the gate is metal bars, maybe not the best application. You will also need a door knob. This is a lock, not a handle-lock. Read all the details before purchasing; and all the reviews.
