3/8" Lock-Open Pop Pin - Leaves both hands free to make adjustments

Simply pull on the knob to disengage spring-loaded pin Then, unlike conventional pop pins, the knob may be twisted a few degrees either clockwise or counter clockwise to keep pin locked out. This allows the user to let go of the knob and use both hands to maneuver the adjustment. To lock pin, simply rotate knob until the spring-loaded pin snaps back into locked position.

Lock-open pins are an excellent choice for any application where an extended lock-out time is ideal. Example applications include fitness equipment adjustment mechanisms, custom gates and doors, security applications, storage cabinets and tool boxes. Another great use for lock-open pins is in applications with heavy or unwieldy adjustments that are hard to manage while using just one hand.

Lock-open pop pins allow the design freedom to develop applications that use 2 or more pins that may be adjusted by a single person. For example, a locking door that incorporates 4 lock-open pins where a single user may lock out each pop pin, one at a time, to disengage the door.
