Quick lock vs Open Screw, which is better or is there no preferable choice of one another? Would it matter which I get?

I had always used the crimp on style connector until I tried these. The screw on type is the only way to go in my opinion. They are easy to connect and hold on very well.

Doesn't matter. I have a Yamaha rxv3000. The output was going vad, so one suggestion was to disconnect speakers and reconnect. I bought these plugs. They cleaned up the connections, but I had to get the unit serviced to fix the problem - all perfect now

Either type can provide a good connection, and that's what matters. I think screw-type connectors are easier to use, though.

Higher locking strength. I actually prefer the standard one as they are easier to lock and unlock. You only really need these if you lift very heavy loads above your head (for peace of mind) or if you drop your weights a lot.

When opening with the screw off. You will still have to pry it open. Do not be afraid, but be careful not to break it.

Jill, I am not sure about their use of "rapid acting" vs "quick release" but I think they are describing the procedure of opening up the jaws quickly....rather than turning the handle many many times to the left to open.....you simply turn it to the left one revolution then pull on the handle and the jaws open wide. The jaws may be closed just as quickly by doing the opposite. This saves a lot of time winding the handle about. Mine works great and was easy to install. Much much better than the "cheapie" brands. I also have another Wilton (very large) that has worked great for me for about 15 years.

Most double cylinder deadbolt locks I have used are like this. The screws are installed on the inside of the door. If the door has glass the necessity for a key to operate the lock adds some security. If an intruder gets inside the fact that the lock can be removed by unscrewing it is irrelevant.

In my opinion, the long length gives you more "wiggle room" when manipulating the lock to insert the key. It depends on how the locking part of the storage door is configured. Tight fit? Longer length is better.

Yes. The complaints about the screw are unjustified. The screw is used simply to ensure the case doesn't open in transit, and to prevent theft of individual tools in stores. It's only slightly problematic if you have no screwdriver, or no items that can be used as a screwdriver (like a knife).

I think any lock can be opened By someone who knows what their doing. I Would not get a lock with out a key because the electronics may fail; or run out of power leaving you locked out. If your concerned about bumping; you could always disable the key slot with superglue or something

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but I've found that it's easier to quickly loosen/tighten the thumbscrews if you turn the thing upside down (so the screws are at the top), or if they're on the bottom, hold the whole unit up so the screws have more room to move up/down.

No, you can just go to the hardware store and get a snap like on the end of a dog leash. There are several other options that will work and dont require using the lock.

Both are fine; the 6 screw spreads the clamping pressure and is technically better since the tube would theoretically deform less in unintended impacts. If your rifle will not be subject to bein g handled like a shovel or hatchet you could save a few bucks and it would be OK. The flip locks are great but you may want to use Loctite on the tension adjuster screws.

Just that. My door is a solid pine door and I don't need any other handle to slide it open or close. Quick set locks are my favorite locks, quality always good.

Well not following the short side of the L but the two short pieces of the lock side prevent people from using a credit card to work the door handle lock open. Also from breaking the door area where you drilled for the lock. On the other side of the door the two small pieces cover the hinge plate making it stronger on that side. I don't think it give much protection over removing the screws one at a time and using the 3 1/2 inch screws. I would replace the door with a metal one if you have a tired old wood door then add the kit.

I assume you are referring to the tension lock thumbscrew. It appears to be an 11/64 fine "machine screw" thread although may be metric. Try the specialty hardware drawers at Lowes, Home Depot or a full service hardware store. A suitable replacement should be easy enough to find and it only needs to be "finger tight". Also, in future it doesn't need to be very loose to allow the mount to slide off so shouldn't need to un-thread it completely.

All you need is a screwdriver. So that saves time in itself. If you sat down with no distractions, you could probably do it in 30 minutes or so. Most of the attachments are screws with their locks.

If you get the right sized tip (smaller for small screws) and learn the sensitivity control by the flick of a wrist...YES.Very easy to use and can control from a "creep" to "run" speed. Has torque settings so you could set on low so the dRiver will ratchet and not strip screws. It will be all about finding the smaller screw bit sizes that can fit the quick release driver end or an insert type driver tip.

I think it would be better to use shorter screws than Velcro (even heavy duty).
