Does the rack have to be fully retracted to lock? For example, can it be raised half way and lock?

You can lock it pretty much any height you want. You raise and lower by turning a loop and the lock puts a pin in the loop so it won't turn.

Yes it can be locked at any height. I have 2 of these in my garage and we love them. So much easier than climbing on a ladder to a fixed overhead shelf.

It can be locked in any position, hi, lo or anyplace in between. I keep it just high enough so I don't bump my head.

It can be raised to any height and will remain there due to the design of the gearbox. You have to deliberately raise or lower it using the crank handle (or 1/2" drill motor). There is a lock assembly that engages the attachment point for the crank handle as a "belt and suspenders" after the crank is removed. It will operate at any height.

You are able to lock it at any height. Should your load be high then you don't have to raise back up all the way.

It can lock in any position, the only thing to keep in mind is longer cable length equals more swing when loading/unloading.

Not sure what you are asking for sure. The pin that holds the rack to the hitch is threaded so it would take quite a bit to take the rack, as for the bike, I don't think there is a way to lock it to the rack. I love the rack, but never leave my bike on it for any length of time unattended.

Yes it can partially extended/retracted. I have installed mine with my dad in July 2014. No issues

No, when the door opens, it does NOT pull the rack out. . . You have to push it back in. The bar across the doorleans on the counter, not the door itself. This is a wonderful unit and have had it for several years and I have neverhad a problem with it.

Yes, it will lock the rack to the crossbar. You cannot remove the rack without first removing the skewer.

It does not have a lock that you would have to release to lower the top. In the up position the top is balanced past center so the weight of the top holds it open. We haven't had any accidental closures

No, you can't lock this one at all. The straps are the only thing that secures this rack to the tire.

No, I secured the frame on the back, bottom and top. Mostly back and bottom with a single screw on top to keep it from moving. The rack can be completely removed so you can attach the frame

hello. the rack does not come off when you open the door...it is very sturdy....nice half moon section in the back of the rack that accommodates a full size pizza....

There is a spring loaded pin to pull up at the base of the rack. This allows the rack to tilt down. The pin stays in place so the rack just clicks back in when raised.

Yes it is threaded and can be tighten so it does not move. A great bike rack for the money.

Yes, the legs can also be half extended. Till the black plastic part that you see in the pic beside. It does lock halfway and is pretty sturdy.

Yes. I lowered it slowly but the rack had no problems. The bikes didn't touch the ground for me that I remember.

I dont believe so, not through amazon anyways. If you're having issues with the stability or duability of your rack, dont worry i suffered the same issues. It turns out i didnt assemble it as tight as possible. Turning it on its side and pushing it in will allow it to stay better:) hope i helped

There is one pin to pull that will allow the rack to tilt down. In many cases you could access the trunk from the side without tilting the rack.

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.

No, it is not capable of doing that. It must be used just as shown when detached from a hitch. If you are wanting to lock it as you described, you will need a cleavis latch lock to do that or a padlock will work too. I prefer a dog bone style lock that does not have an exposed shackle. You may also consider securing your hitch to your receiver. There are locks for that as well. I hope this helps.
