Can the slide mechanism be locked in place?

That's correct. There is a red dial on the carriage (the part that moves along the length of the slider) that let's you adjust the tension from keeping it locked in place, to just enough friction to keep a slow motion, to fully mobile.

Yes... Depending on the TV weight it may be difficult to slide laterally, but tweaking is not a problem. Once you have the desired position, the TV can be locked into place.

It really doesn't have a locking system per say, but the slides do stay in place with no problem. I drop things a lot due to my physical condition and have had no issues at all.

I haven't had any problems with the slide. It's smooth for me. There is a knob that is used to lock the saw in a fixed position so I wonder if people had it set too tight causing it to stick. I've been using this saw to remodel my house and it's been a great saw!

If the slides are in plastic mounts, there should be two round points where you can apply pressure and "pop" the weak heat bonds applied at these points to "lock" the slides in place. With cardboard mounts, I use a razor blade to start peeling the cardboard layers apart, which releases the slide. Either way, the old mounts will be destroyed and need to be replaced.

The base of the upper will set on the lower one and not slide as there's a groove created by the top's base. They include hardware to secure it, but I haven't used it.

Possibly. There is a slot, so you can fit 3 or 4 screws in there, but I don't now if it is long enough to fit in both holes without knowing the model slider.

You do not have to remove the slide from the cardboard surround. The slide holder fits the entire slide and locks it into place.

You'll probably want to buy hardware to lock it. It comes with a simple slide lock, but no real security features -- best you could do is loop something through the handles that locks, but even the handles can be unscrewed if someone was determined enough.

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.

Yes it can. The brackets that hold it have slide joints with pinch bolts; it can be mounted either left or right and is adjustable (within limits) close or far, and slides left and right.

No, I thought you might be able to move the slide and redrill the arm but there is an access hole right where it would need to go.

These do lock in place. This is a very good kit. There are other cheaper kits in the market that do slide and don't work well at all.

No, the slider does not lock at all. The only solution I found was to have my students use a piece of tape to hold it in place. :-(

No. The rear slide (there is not a lock on the rear) is screwed to a protrusion on the fence tube. Write if you have additional questions.

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.

Yes, the pet door locks in position. Your slider works as always. They provide a new locking mechanism for itb but I chose to just use a piece of PVC in the track to secure it.
