Do you have to pull the string down the whole time while using this or does it lock in position when pulled?

It locks in position nicely. Don't forget that you exit the unit by pulling off the velcro chin straps and then sliding your head out.

You might think that from the picture, but no, the rope goes through a ratcheted pulley, i.e. you pull it down to set the tension and it stays in place. It also has a safety feature that causes the pulley to slip if you set the tension too high. I highly recommend it for its comfort and ease of use (versus the type that use 30 lb bags of water to set the tension).One drawback - I'm tall (6'4") and because of how far the tension mechanism hangs down, I basically have to sit on the floor when hooking it to a door to get it to work properly.

It locks which can possibly cause a situation where you can hurt yourself if there is too much tension. However, all you have to do is stand up if you are not comfortable in anyway. I found this device is so effective, you really need to start with just a little tension and work your way up over weeks. I am 6'3" and have no problems using it in my doorway in a chair.

no.....after you secure your head, pull the string until you hear a "CLICK" sound. Each "CLICK" locks in the gear and your head is pull higher up (about 1/4 in.). You will do many "CLICKS" until you feel that your head properly lifted and the pain feels lessen. Let go of the string because the gear locks it in. To release your head, you might want to stand up and release the velcro straps (on each side of your chin). At the top where the gear is located, there is a metal latch. Pull up this latch and it will release the gear and the head strap will go down again......for your next session. no.....after you secure your head, pull the string until you hear a "CLICK" sound.

It's a tension rod so I just pull it in to take it down, clean, and then squeeze it to place back in. Have not had any issues.

It does lock out at full extension. It doesn't really lock in, but it isn't loose in a way where that would matter.

It is a simple slide in and slide out. It is not spring loaded or elastic loaded. Neither it has any locking mechanism. But since there is no spring or elastic, it stays where you position it.

No, if you pull the handle to the out position, it should lock in place until you push the button to release it! If this is happening, I would send it back for a replacement.

Pull behind. The handle likes to fall down. I would like it to be locked in place so when you let go of it that it's still in the position I left it.

it comes in the "closed" position. What this does it stretch out as it "opens" and then holds it there. This won't pull your door closed, instead it holds it open and resists the closing.

I'm not sure i understand your question, however it appears that you are asking which configuration would be best? There is only one configuration to this system, so there is no easy or hard way. From a physics perspective, it doesn't matter which way you pull on the loose end, the weight is essentially the same. The mechanical advantage is in the configuration of the rope, and the moving pulleys

It does not lock, it just slides, one half inside the other. So you do not want to pull on one end to move it, but it is easy to just grab it from the side.

No. Once you engage the cord to the lock position, you will not be able to pull the cord out.

Pulling the string tight, from the hole to where the string is tied is approx. 4 1/2" - 4 3/4". I had checked two of them.

Pull the circular tab down/in the direction of the string tails. It'll unlock the mechanism and slide to loosen the string.

I haven't had a problem with this at all. I don't use this to rub back and forth. I use it as steady pressure til the knot loosens a little.

It's your arrow. The U shape end that attaches to string should click/lock on.

Just pull it straight out or maybe try twisting a little to left or right as you're pulling it out. It has a little bit of tension to keep it in place but a good tug will release it.

It is Spring action and lock. It will allow till its length to Pull and locks To Roll Back, jut pull down little, it will unlock and sends back

Unfortunately no. It is the same as any other tie down you pull tight and tie off. I wish it had a locking mechanism to it. It does seem very durable though.
