How does the rod lock?
1278042
it locks by holding the rod in place and turning it in the direction of the arrows on the rod. There is a little sticker on there that shows the direction to turn so it locks in place. Once you start tightening it - it will turn til it tightens. Then it stays in place and that's that unless you decide to replace it higher lower etc. But it stays put from the pressure of tightening it. hope that answers your question!

Hi Dr. Mark it is really hard to do it. I was unable to do it. I had to have my brother come and help me and try to figure it out. He was able to do it but then just last week after one week of it staying on it fell down. I wish I could help you with it but you just need to turn it and then it is suppose to hold. The directions are very poor so it does not help much. Sorry.

We installed the rod in June using a very heavy curtain ann liner. The rod has worked very well. Directions are essential to getting a tight fit

Easily,Make the rod 1" larger than the opening and tighten it clockwise. This fixes it in place. It will be 1" larger than the opening. Then simply compess it to fit in the opening. It could not be much simpler. ....... It is patented...It does not work like other rods which you have to twist into place and have walk around your shower wall.John R.

Once extended and "locked" in place, it is not locked. It is "wedged" into place. So if you wedged it hard it may be difficult to unwedge. If this is the case, just get a buddy to help. It does not "lock". You do not need a key or a code. Ask my son who had the same problem. I just had to help him out. Reverse the installation instructions!John R.

Rod is fixed in position and stays out as pictured. It doesn't move once installed.

Try moving the rod in a small semi-circle and twisting it at the same time. Good luck.

Attach one end of rod to stand and attach the other to the handlebar. It will hold the front straight and keep it from turning.

No there's no lock. Press down firmly to keep it in place. It's made for easy adjustment so that is the reason it moves when you lift from the bottom. If your hitting it from the bottom it will move on you.

There is a plastic insert on each of the rod. The caps have a screw sticking out of the middle of them and they screw into the plastic insert.

Unlock each end and unscrew lock Counterclockwise. Until it separates. Put both parts over rail and retighten and Relock

The directions say to extend the rod about an inch longer than the opening required. Lock it before you try to put it in place. If you still have the directions they are pretty easy to follow. Hope this helps.

There is two different types of locks. One goes down with the auction and the other ones are the clamp locks unlock those first

Each have a snap type holder that keeps the rods in place. They work very well once you learn how to hold them in your hair. Don't forget to get the paper to go with the rods. Great product.

Yes, I just bought this lock and the setting rod was in the blister package. It has to come with it since the lock comes set to 0-0-0-0 .

There is no locking mechanism. It just hangs from two ell brackets that are welded to the rack.

Sorry it took so long to respond. But the head of the ratchet does lock as a regular ratchet does. Enabling you to loosen up tighter bolts. Normally I use a breaker bar on most really tight bolts then I finish with the cordless ratchet.

I agree with the other answer - it only locks when it's in the upright position.

you have to turn each rod but in my case it didn't hold very firmly at the end and I decided to return it.

It has two velcro loops, so they tight around the closet rod. It is pretty sturdy and very practical. It has 8 slots and they are very spacious.
