Is it normal for the metal locks to pop out of the plastic housing?

I am not experiencing that problem. That does not sound normal. Try locking the locks.

They shouldn't come out unless you are using the blank key intended for lock core replacement.

Definitely not when locked. If unlocked they can be removed so you can change the core. If you are sure that they were inserted correctly (with the key) they cannot be removed while locked. See their youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iWL0jQzXQ4

Mine locks but the locking cable has loosened. Does anyone have experience tightening it?

There's a black plastic lock release switch that you need to slide while you squeeze the handles. It's a bit difficult at first, but after you've broken them in, it locks and unlocks pretty easily.

No - it is not normal. Hopefully that is not a problem, usually if you ordered two they would have different locks/keys.

If it's not snapped in, then it's not normal. Mine clipped in with no issues or special adjustments right from the get go.

The one knob just below the yellow housing is tough 'plastic'. I have no concern over it breaking if that's the real question. The power toggle switch is metal.

I had that problem to start with then I saw where the latch was not locking in all the way. I had to apply a little extra pressure to lock it in place and it has not fallen out after that.

no it is not, it is bonded to the shell, which makes sense as there is leverage applied to the metal key from the plastic shell that over time, if not bonded, would come loose. Best. D

The plastic top just pops off but mine had a tape seal around it and i had to use a tip of knife to get tape loose.

Mine is as shone. But I only had it a few weeks before the lock stopped working properly.

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.

This happened to me one time, a key inside the box got stuck in the lock mechanism. I basically just pounded on it a few times and jarred the key lose and then it opened up.

I just looked at mine. I noticed that I also had something rattling around inside. Sounded like a small piece of plastic. I saw no easy way to open. It doesn't affect the operation. I'm going to leave it and not worry about it. It's probably just something loose from the manufacturing process.

I had no problem. Maybe try a little WD40 on the metal before snapping it in.

I have those locks for quite a while. The way I take care of them whenever hard to open/close is squeeze both end, then they worked.

Ours hung up on it too. We took the cylinder out and used a knife and smoothed the housing. We scraped a little an put back in then repeat until it turns.....The lock cylinder hangs in the housing..it is not the key hanging in the cylinder.

all I did was swap puit the lock. never removed the latch assembly. I would think it is a straight forward swap.
