Does this have a locking mechanism on it or does the line have to be fully extended?

When extended out, it can lock at any point by wrapping the line once around the bottom nub. No it does not have to be fully extended

Does not have to be fully extended. Just take out how much line needed and wrap tight the line around the tabs near the line opening

You pull it to the desired length where you have installed a hook to catch it. Then you walk to the housing and wrap (giving tension) the string onto the base. Notice picture has two small protrusion at bottom of housing.

there is no automatic locking mechanism. you manually lock the line by looping it around one of the tabs underneith the reel housing.

I would expect this to work better with a liner than without because you won't have to extend it as far. The looseness when fully extended was the major flaw I noted in my review.

This comes with a threaded pin which screws in. It is not locking but you need a wrench to screw/unscrew it.

This bracket locks in ONLY the extended position. It is a wonderful item for a quick shelf. I have mine near my dryer.

It does have a liner locking system. It locks up like a bank vault, very solid.

Dear Danny E,There are two wheels in the hole in the inside on the front.Take your line and insert it into the hole!If it kicks it out reinsert from the opposite direction.You will be able to tell when it grabs your line !Enjoy it

It doesn't have a locking feature. It relies on friction against the surface it's resting on to keep it from slipping. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the manufacturer has a maximum angle for which it can be safely used.

I have no problems with the line just make sure u have it running wide open when u bump it on the ground hope this helps.

Yes it does. It has two locking positions, fully extended and fully closed.

It doesn't lock but it doesn't move when pointed down. Stops wherever you extend it.

When it comes all the way out it take a little more pressure to push it in than when not fully extended. There are no latches or locks that hold it in place that I can see.

No actual locking mechanism but it does sit relatively securely. When operational I do hold it in place just in case.

Yes. Locks when all the way extended and when all the way down. There is a button you push to unlock.

It does lock in place. The line wraps around a "hook" on the bottom that keeps the line from slipping. I have not had problems with the line sagging thus far.

It does not lock but it is very steady and does not come off easily. Very well made cable.

This is spring based but it locks when it is fully expanded. Red button in the middle actually pushes in when device is placed on it and it snaps to fit accordingly.
