is this rod twist and tight or twist and lock? I am looking for rod which i can extend and then keep tightening it reached the desired tightness.

Don't buy it. Go to a big box store and get one you'll actually like. This one has ZERO tension at all. Go to target or Walmart. This isn't worth the money.

The rod expands from anywhere between 41" and 72" by twisting. Just twist it and it slowly lengthens to the width you want. I'm not sure how easy it is to shorten it once it's been "opened", but it can be shortened a little bit in order to make it fit your space should you go too far. The circumference of the bar is approximately 3 1/4"; the end cap is about 4 1/2" around and the diameter of the bar (from which you would hang things) is approximately 1" to 1 1/4".

I replaced the rod a few months ago. It's meant to be bent. and you straighten it out as you insert it.

I'm not sure exactly what you are describing but it seems not to be a carpenter problem but rather a mechanical problem that appears the "set screw" are not tightened down on the handle rod. Perhaps more info would help me to understand your problem better. I still have my old lock set to use as a model. My new one is still working great!

I also thought I had to twist it for a long time, but you don't have to twist it that much. You twist and then it pulls to the length you want.

If you did not, you have to push down slightly as you are twisting it. I hope this helps.

Yes it will. I just tried it for you. It will just need a few twists. Easy to do you will see when you get the rod.

I found mine to be a tight when i got it, but after openning and closing the mechanism for a couple of times. it became workable. But still a bit tight but not as.

We had no problem--just followed "setting the tension" directions--great rod--love it!

Since it locks by twisting it I know it has something to do with twisting in a particular direction. I have not used mine in a couple years and I couldn't find my directions for it.

no it is not a tension rod, it is a little adjustable, but it is fixed right around 60 inches. you may go a little longer or shorter by 3 inches, but it does not expand much beyond that

It is a twist top. I had to tap on it a few times then it twisted off but it was tight.

Just twist it one way to loosen and the other to tighten. Maybe there is something wrong with it. Check with the manufacturer. Sorry I could not be more helpful

Yes. You twist the rod until it is about an inch longer than the space in which you want to hang it, lock it, then compress it and slide it into place. That inch of added tension seems to hold it place very well.

For me, the size out of the box was the smallest it would go. Once extended out to a longer size - simply push back together. At least that's how mine works. I never had to twist anything.

Twist lock -- then it extends. It seems good and tight/secure, but I haven't extended it much. I have not noticed the camera rotating, but as I said, normally I just use it at the collapsed length.

No, it is not a tension rod. It does require drilling, so you will not want to purchase this particular rod.
