does this have a locking system to hold rope in place? Is that the arm on top?

The unit you get from Amazon does have a locking mechanism..... it is the arm that you see in the top left of the picture.

Yes, what looks like a lever is a metal loop. The rope goes thru this loop then thru the pulleys that provide the leverage. It's a simple wedge lock, the loop narrows and the rope is caught in this wedge as the lever raises. To unlock just pull down on the rope.

The loop sticking off the side is the lock. To lock the rope in place simply turn it loose. To unlock pull down and hold the hope out to the side to lower your game

Nope, it has a lever on the far side that lifts the bowl arms into place & locks. Bought one for my gf for xmas & she loves it!!!

There are no locks on the handles but the more you work the bar you will control certain arm positions through strength gained. An excellent piece of equipment. ..

No, it does not. You've got to secure the rope to something to get it to not let your load down.

No, only straight back. There is also no standing 'locking' position. You can prop it up on cosmetics pouch.

It does not lock into position and is only balanced by the weights. I took another look at it and you may be able to rig something up to lock it but "out of the box" so to speak it does not lock.

Yes! It has a braided rope with hooks on both ends that attach to the back. This gives you about 8" in hanging length. 2 things to aware of though; Those 2 plastic hooks are not what one would call "substantial" - and - The weight of the unit isn't light. This is a high-quality, durable unit, unlike the lesser priced flimsy ones. Think: Hummer as opposed to "Smart" car. Capeesh?

I have the model with the arms that lock on after you assemble. I have two bikes on mine and have had no issues with them slipping or moving. I was hesitant at first, but its worked great.

You might think that from the picture, but no, the rope goes through a ratcheted pulley, i.e. you pull it down to set the tension and it stays in place. It also has a safety feature that causes the pulley to slip if you set the tension too high. I highly recommend it for its comfort and ease of use (versus the type that use 30 lb bags of water to set the tension). One drawback - I'm tall (6'4") and because of how far the tension mechanism hangs down, I basically have to sit on the floor when hooking it to a door to get it to work properly.

Hi Joseph, the arms cannot be "locked", but they do have a collar that can be tightened down pretty tightly (I imagine because I don't do that myself) with an allen wrench so that their movement will be restricted. That's all I can tell you.

It does not have a lock that you would have to release to lower the top. In the up position the top is balanced past center so the weight of the top holds it open. We haven't had any accidental closures

It doesn't have a designated place to tie a rope, but it has 2 handles on the neck, and you could put a rope through one of them.

It does lock in place. The line wraps around a "hook" on the bottom that keeps the line from slipping. I have not had problems with the line sagging thus far.

Yes it does lock into place. However, after a few uses it becomes loose in the sheath. I haven't had any issues with it falling out while wearing it around my neck but it is noticably loose. Also, the sheath has a tendency to dull the edge after extracting and replacing a few times. I've heard this is because of the glass reinforcement in the sheath. It's not a deal breaker by any means. The sheath works for what it is intended.

Not sure how long the straps are - but plenty long enough to go around my 2 person 14' kayak with some strap left over. Yes there is a locking mechanism that clamps on the hoist rope. The only issue is I have it mounted on a 12' ceiling and the hoist rope isn't quite long enough to lower the kayak all the way to the ground. Otherwise it works great.

No locking position but I can tell you for a fact . If you are looking for something durable look no farther. I use this constantly and very hostile ways its been with me almost a year now the previous 3 didn't last 2 months. My hats off to this one.

Yes it does: It's nothing more than about a 5 foot piece of cheap rope. I had to replace it with a stronger piece of rope so that it would not snap into two while climbing with it: Hope it helps /Rob
