How do you lock it place as described in the details? The mirror will keep falling onto my work if it is within 12 inches of work area.

as long as you keep the lamp within 25 inches of the base, you'll be fine. Just be sure to really tighten the flathead screws that hold the joints together. out of the box they can be pretty loose

Never had this problem. My unit has a knob that locks the mirror in place. I can easily work within 12" of the working surface without a problem. It is a great system. Very stable.

That's the beauty of quality- and a great suspension system- I regularly do close work for hour and hours at a time and I have NEVER had this lamp flop onto my work surface- this is an all metal lamp with strong reliable suspension- hence the price- well worth the investment- I love it and use it daily!

I placed a piece of tape on top of mirror and on outer casing to hold it in place

Measuring from the wall to the center of the mirror, just under 1 foot. You might be able to take it out further, but you will risk breaking it.

There are some "squared" off compartments in the top where you lift the mirror. Hope this info is of some help.

The user simply must pivot the mirror up and down. It snaps into pre-set positions, thus the feeling that you have to force it. There are no buttons or levers or anything you have to worry about. Simply pivot it up and down and it will snap into place. Hopefully that answers your question! :)

The mirror can be moved or you can choose not to install it. It is held in place by double sided tape.

Mine is set at about 10" to the top of the mirror. It would go up a little higher but the mirror is heavy & if you don't get it balanced just right, it will tip over.

Did you follow the instructions to turn the base? That locks the suction cup in place. Mine is on my mirror and is very sturdy.

Think it needs to be mounted. The razor holder/shelf wouldn't balance the mirror.

I don't think there is a set height for mounting the mirror, depends on your own height and remember the mirror tilts for a better viewing.

It is possible to adjust, no need to lock. It holds my monitors very firm and securely in place. It doesn't move with lite or even moderate pressure applied.

I haven't have it fallen off ever. I've been down some bumpy roads and still never fallen or moved. there are 2 suction cups that go on the original mirror then there are two clamps that fit over the original mirror so it's double secured.

I would suggest a hardware store, only to make sure the mirror stays firmly attached to table.

The light remains on as long as it can sense your presence in front of the mirror. Then it stays on for another few seconds (just in case you moved away to reach for something). But there is no adjustment. If the light is not staying on and you are in front of the mirror, maybe you are not in front of the sensor? I noticed that when I was doing very close work - I tended to be positioned at the very bottom of the mirror. As the sensor is up top - I did have the light turn off on me once or twice. Just make sure that some part of you is actually in front of the sensor, and you will be fine. I now lean/look over to one side when doing the close-up inspections. Problem solved. It is a great mirror - can't believe that it is worth the price, but it really is.

EASY! Get a small piece of foam - we used thin slice of carpet foam that is tapered so it gets a little thicker towards one end - and keep it stuck gently at bottom - mirror stays in place no problem. I have a 10X mirror stuck on the Ott mirror on one side and 15X (scary!) on the other - 15X is heavier so it definitely tends to tilt mirror but foam keeps it in place nicely and no trouble to do it. Takes a second. You could use any relatively stiff foam or even plastic or aluminum foil - anything you have that won't harm the mechanism. best wishes!

The outer edge of the mirror is about 20 inches from the door, add a couple of inches for the guard bar. The mount will be 8 to 12 inches wide and 20 to 24 inches vertical, depending on the size and shape of your window, and the stabilizing bar will extend another 10 to 14 inches below that. jimfourmont@sbcglobal.net

It locks in place very well. I've had mine up for about 6 months hasn't fallen yet
