Does this holder have a center which keeps it from spinning once the towel roll gets down to 1/4 full?

It doesn't spin at all. It gives as many sheets as you want---usually 2 or 3 and stops. I really like this holder. Best one I have ever had.

I just started using it so I have not gotten down there yet. but it is very base heavy and sturdy. I think it will not spin the roll, but you may have to be gentle when pulling a sheet.

The towel holder has a ring around the outside that keeps the towels inside the ring. The center doesn't spin.

It does have a center however it is very long approx 5 ft so it would likely need a custom roll. It is heavy and bulky. I leave mine in the box it came in, in the garage and lay it on a large table or the floor to wrap my items. It is somewhat see-through so I double wrap sometimes. Hope that helps!

I have found this one to be pretty simple. One end is spring loaded. I have not had the first problem with it and I put the jumbo paper towel rolls on it. One end has a longer pin and you place that one first, then the shorter end has the spring, so easy to get in in place.

The top of the roll does not sit above the rubber ball and comes out as you pull. The lower part rubs the paper roll on the edge of the holder. This holder is not designed for vertical mounting.

It's a bit tight on the first few pulls, Then it's fine. I love it. But it is tight till you get some off. All in wall toilet roll holders are going to be tight on big rolls, to my knowledge.

Nope, it just keeps food and such from going down the drain. It's perfectly designed, for what it is. But it's not a stopper.

The rod easily lifts out of both sides of the holder making replacement simple. Once the paper towels are in the holder, the rod and towels are held down by gravity alone. The way it is designed this is enough to keep it in place until the roll is finished. There is nothing complicated about the design, as with most good ideas, it is simple and user friendly.

I know that this is an old question but I just saw it.We have the wall mount version of this holder that we bought from Amazon some time ago for our bath and love it. We mounted it vertically rather than horizontally and have had no problems with it at all. I just found it on Amazon at: Simplehuman Wall Mount Paper Towel Holder, Stainless Steel I am about to order this one for our kitchen.

NO - and YES, it is SUPPOSED TO BUT DOES NOT. It does lock, as indicated by someone's answer - but that "lock" does not hold. It continues to roll.

Yes, it does but it is a tight fit at first. The more you use it the more it will loosen up and be easier to replace a roll of towels

The center post is spring loaded. Just put the towel roll on, compress the spring slightly and slip it into the holder. The paper towels will not pop off when you yank a towel off the roll!

Yes, it does. Just make certain the holder is snug. There are pads inside the holder to prevent it from slipping.

It doesn't stop at each towel but it also doesn't spin quickly. It has some resistance so the towels don't spin out of control.

It has sort of a flexible springy mechanism on the center holder, as you can see, but to my knowledge, that's the most freedom to adjust that you'll have in terms of roll center diameter.

No. Mine does it periodically. I try to press the button in the center so it won't slip. Otherwise it is great.

Hi, there is 2 3/4" from the center of rod to the top of the holder. If Your roll of towels is 5 1/2" or less the holder should work, anything larger it won't. Rick

Yes. The center dips a bit so your stuff doesn't run over the edge. More like a griddle though.
