Does the tv have to slide in from the top or can it slide up and lock?

In theory yes ( it can slide up and lock ), but i would not recommend it. The locking mechanism is really just there to keep it from sliding out the top. It might work for a small very light monitor.

Can it slide from the bottom...yes but it was designed to slide from the top. I wouldn't trust the locking mechanism to hold the weight of a tv.

yes it locks good. really like it except for the price. It is well made heavy duty. Great mount for your tv.

Not hard at all. You have several screws on the back of the tv (on both sides) where it slides into.

The TV is secured to the stand. You can, with care, move the stand around (front to back and side to side). Of course your TV must be within the size requirement for this stand (see manufacturer's specs).

There are two allen head screws that secure the vertical arms (secured to the TV) to the horizontal plate (secured to the wall). These seem to prevent the unit from being accidentally dislodged ;however, on my unit they do not absolutely eliminate the possibility of the TV being moved left/right. It seems unlikely that "small, curious hands" could facilitate this.

From the wall to the back of the TV is closer to 3-3 1/2 inches. Then you would have the thickness of the TV to add to that. Hope this helps. Like the other responder said, it's heavy-duty and locked great.

yes the tv can slide either direction as i had to move mine about an inch because the optical out was right in back of one of the metal bars.i have a 65 inch mounted on this stand with no problems and love it.

The bracket that screws to the tv can slide up or down a small amount which will allow the tv to tilt downward. Unfortunately the tilt is not great. I did not have to loosen anything.

No, it doesn't slide. Top is one piece construction. It is sturdy piece though.

This unit is NOT lockable. I think though that if I dropped it nothing would fall out. The slider thingies are in there pretty tight.

No. Its not necessarily a lock. Its a piece of plastic that slides to the middle to stop the door from opening. There is a (maybe) 6 inches piece of plastic that hangs down on one side to make it easier to slide it. Depending on how tall you are if you could reach close to the top to slide it then you will be fine.

It is a nut and bolt piece that holds the sliding action. If you were to use a different method of locking the bar in place and did not have a heavy television attached it would not be difficult to raise and lower. Though the television will stop the bar from raising if it is attached to a finished ceiling. The top of the television will hit the ceiling before the bar reaches the highest setting.

My slide locks in in the closed position only. The very back of the slide it rolls on (the part that is screwed to the desk) has a hill on the the top and bottom it rolls over by moving the inside part of the slide further. Put your hand on the inside of the part it rolls on and slide your fingers toward the back, if you feel an area that moves in, then it should lock in position.

It will lock using the pin attached to the chain that appears in the photo. It locks when the tv is in the most closed position.

The TV on it's stand just sits on the slide out part - the normal weight of the TV holds it in place

You can adjust the top so it is not as tight. Losen the screws and it will slide up.

Yes, you have to lock the top onto the base...it will snap in when it's in place.
