I just received this mop, put the handle together and it has a lever locking mechanism that is not on the model shown. It won't stay locked. Help!

My mop works fine. The locking mechanism when you push it upward towards the handle prevents the mop from spinning when mopping. Push downward and the mop will spin when you push down on handle. Mine works well.

The description is wrong. This one does not have a lock. The handle with the lock is at the following link: Kwikset Lido Bed/Bath Lever in Satin Nickel

I was going to try to knock it off with a hammer, and if I couldn't then I am going to return it. But all the comments say you can't get it off?I don't get the people answering a question about the scrub brush with an answer about the sponge mop head. They are 2 different things with 2 different names. Sorry, I know everyone is trying to be helpful.

The mop head snaps on and off easily. You can remove it by hand or you can step on one side of the strings and pull up on the handle.

Make sure the sliver latch is all the way towards the end of the handle before pushing lever to lock in...back to pan side

There is an opaque guard ring above the mop head on the mop handle, pull that up towards the mop handle away from the mop head. Then remove the old mop head and replace it with the new one. You may need to give it a tap with a hammer or a twist with a wrench if it has been in place for a long time or rusted.

Hi - No, it shouldn't lock up you every time. I have had the same issue with the handle sticking on my end. Mine doesn't stick (or lock) all the time, just some of the time. I'm guessing there's an internal part that is not releasing properly after the handle is squeezed. I never returned mine because while it's very frustrating, it doesn't happen often enough. I'm sure if I was proactive and cleaned it to make sure the line wasn't clogged it might work better. Anyway, if the handle locks up all the time I would return it or contact the manufacturer. I hope this was helpful.

Hi! I just checked (have ordered 3 times) and this refill only has 2 locking nuts. Maybe your mop might be an older model. My package says jumbo, "new quick lock". My mop is probably 4 years old?

I am not sure what you are asking, I have no problem, but it sounds like maybe you do not have the mop head on securely so that is why it is flopping. Try re attaching the mop head and make sure it is clicked on securely.

I purchased several mops because of the replacement problem. The mop head that is pictured here is for model #27. You need (I think) the type S refill. The model number on the package is #0442, and it is also indicated on the package that it is for mop #45.

I think we took the mop down to Walmart and bought an aluminum handle for it that fit. You just jam it into the hole and twist and it stays. There is a black plastic ribbed v shaped end on the handle that goes into the hole.

The handle Is igreat, the plastic cover at the mop head which also holds the mop head on cracked. I super glued it and no more problems to date. That said I love this mop.

No mop handle included. Very diasppointing. It needs a handle that it can click onto.

Check that your two piece mop handle is properly aligned and that the two protruding buttons are fully extended. They secure the handle parts and if not in order you can have difficulty using the trigger mechanism. We did, but once aligned all is fine.

I had the same problem and was told you have to buy the whole assembly which I did. They need to make it so you can purchase just the latch lever but it comes as one piece on the handle. Mary S.

There are two screw locks on the handle. One is a screw on the end of the handle, and the other is an internally threaded collar that slides up and down the handle. The first thing you do is push the handle hard into the mop head, and turn it clockwise to tighten it into the broom head. It CAN be slightly difficult to push it into the broom head, because there are some bumps on the handle that have to be pushed into the broom head pretty hard - they kind of "snap" into the head and then you can tighten it. After the handle is screwed into the head, you slide the collar down onto the broom head and tighten that. The collar prevents the handle from twisting out of the head.

The mop does not come with a handle. If you already use Shurhold deck brushes then you already have a handle to use with the mop, otherwise you will need to purchase a handle of desired length.
