How do they lock the string? I didn't see anything to turn.

Hi Jorge, the pin has a hole through which passes the string and then you flip to secure. Best Regards from Guitar Tools USA.

It should open easily by just pulling it out.. That part does not have a lock so you're right.Try to pull it a bit hard but not too hard.. it tends to get stuck a bit sometimes.. but if it still does not open, contact the seller it might be defective.

To me, the key is in putting some weight on the hooks, or just pulling on them, as you have the locking mechanism disengaged. Keeping it disengaged is about holding the rope at the correct angle to get the locking arm to stay away from the rope. Once it is disengaged, just hold the angle and pull the hooks down.

I've not tried to lock mine and haven't gotten fully inverted yet. Might want to email the company, they are very responsive.

Since it locks by twisting it I know it has something to do with twisting in a particular direction. I have not used mine in a couple years and I couldn't find my directions for it.

They provide a tool that is used to screw it underneath The screw is already in. You just unscrew it to lock it in.

The string may have slipped off a pulley. The plastic cover pulls off so you can acces the pulleys.

attach the non locking end on first--then attach the locking side and pull down on the cord..you need some tension on the cord

Twist it the opposite direction with it extended and it should lock in place

On the end of the lock where you insert the free end of the cable turns clockwise about 90 degrees. Turn, enter new combo, Return to original position. Took few minutes to figure it out though. No instructions were included in the package.

To lock - just push the round button. To unlock - turn the lever either up or down.

You put your foot in the bracket in the front then with both hands pull the string until it clicks and locks in the trigger mechanism. It's a little tough but not bad with practice.

There is a small ratchet type device with a tightening screw in it right where your right thumb should be. Squeeze the handles and flip the ratchet to the right and it is no longer locked! Flip it back when you finish. It loosens up somewhat after use.

There is a lock on the top that uses a key and you twist the whole lock to open the can. If it is locked, it won't turn.

Sounds like the lock mechanism might be bent. Once it's open it should spring open and stay open until you squeeze it closed and put the lock in place to hold it closed. Are you running your hand or glove over the lock lever forcing it to close and lock when squeezing?

I had the same problem. It is very easy to get an XLR cable stuck, which did not happen with any other equipment I used. Unfortunately mine came off after breaking the locking mechanism.

Hold the outer shaft, then rotate one of the inner shafts (clockwise I think). If you can't get it to lock, there may be dust inside the shaft preventing the lock from engaging. The premise is simple. At the end of each inner shaft there's a short threaded rod (screw) protruding on the inside. A small plastic plug threads on this rod. As the piece of plastic grips the inner walls of the slightly larger shaft, it slowly moves up the thread causing it to bind. However, if dust/dirt (especially after you get to use them) gets on the inside it prevents the plastic from catching. To resolve, you should just be able to clean. Pull the shafts apart (past the line that says STOP). As you do, you will see the threads of the screw and the plug (I think it's orange)... keep pulling until the two come apart. Wipe clean the plastic plug and try to clean the inside of the shaft it was trying to rub against. If you don't see the plastic plug it's also possible that the poles were loosened so much that the plastic plug unscrewed completely. Thread it back on, reassemble and you should be good to go.
