Some reviewers mentioned that the slides lock in open and closed positions. I bought these and can't figure out how to get them to lock. Help?

hi Dennis! I wouldn't call it a "lock" it is more of a positive stop if you will, the end of each slide has a small plastic clip that acts like a spring; and at each end (close or open) there is a small recess on wich those plastic clips "lock" and that is what they call the lock

You really just have to pull them all the way out, they will then stay there and you can use your keyboard/mouse with no problems. Conversely, push the tray in and they'll lock in that position as well. They should be fairly tough to push in and out, so they'll stay in their corresponding position. I hope that helps and makes sense...

These slides do not lock. They are firm enough to stay in the position you leave them in though

Yea, mine lock in both directions. You push until there's a small click and the same for the open position.

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.

On mine, I just gently push (or pull) beyond the natural stopping point. The difference is only about a quarter inch, but locks the shelf on the sliders in place.

One end will flip open and the other end will flip the opposite way. You will need to fold each end in all the way to unlock them then push them back all the way then put them up to the position you want., they will lock into place. Hope this helps!!! I love this chair!!!

I locks when IN (via a small notch in the slider), but not when extended. Haven't had any issues with mine wandering back inward when working, but had considered that, and I think that a little work with a punch and some planning would easily modify the slider to require some more effort to move.

Make sure the table stand is pushed completely over the ball and snaps into position. Then tighten the lock nut. I had the same problem when i first opened the holder. But they really work well.

It does "lock," but not in the way I believe you are saying (there is no latch to unlock it if that's what you mean). If you extend it out fully, it will "lock" but a push will retract it back in. Just the same when it is fully retracted, it "locks" into place there as well, but again, with a slight pull, it comes unlocked. It is not a free flowing slide. Confusing I know, but I hope it makes some sense.

I haven't had that problem. They are ball bearing type and I installed them in a large drawer for pots and pans. Operate smoothly and a major upgrade from the cabinet manufacturers slides.

They do lock slightly when extended fully in or out. But nothing in between. However the rollers are not loose to where it just slides around. I have never head issues with the tray moving when i type at whatever amount it is extended out. :-) I am happy with it.

hi Bahr they are tight I used a rubber mallit& or just press hard & use alachoal so it will slide easer.

There are two glides, both have black knobs to tighten down to lock into place. Make sure both knobs are loose.

There is a release on the left side just under the slide. Push it down and the slide will go foward to its original position

Mine were EXTREMELY hard to release at first, and are still much harder than the old Lockjaw Pros' were. They have loosened up some, but they definitely hold TIGHT. You don't need to worry about pushing the little black locking-tab, these new ones are designed to release without pushing it, just pull the release lever very hard, and they should release. Hopefully.

Give yourself one-half inch on each side of your drawers for the slides. I replaced existing nylon roller slides and they worked perfect. Just adjust your height to each drawer.

Wait. Sorry. the exit off the slide is open. There is nothing to close off that opening. the other exit has a mesh closing with Velcro.

Mine don't really lock. I just pull it out and push it back as I need to. I think the locking mechanism is only for the tilt position only. It can lock so that you can tilt it but not pulling it out like an arm and back in. I hope this is helpful.

Sorry - I don't know how to fix this. Mine is not bent but rarely will flip up and lock the slide back - are you sure it's not just flipped up? It's easy to do when you are pulling the slide back because it takes so much force to pull it back. Sorry I can't be more help!

Twist the pad counter clickwise. Slide up. Twist back to lock position. If I can remember correctly, it has 3-4 positions.

The closed position stays closed but I wouldn't say they lock. Hope that helps.
