Locked knob spins loosely (and doesn't unscrew), is this how it's supposed to be?

That's what mine does.. if you unlock it then it turns the screw. Watch your knuckles..!

When it's locked it just spins. When it's unlocked then will tighten or loosen.

You should be able to tighten that clamp. To do this, first unclamp it, then turn the knob on opposite end of clamp clockwise. Then try clamping it again. You should be able to turn that knob with your hands with it unclamped, if not you can use pliers.

I don't have that problem. As I turn the knob to the right, the tension increases. It lessens when I turn the knob to the left.

This has never happened to me. I just checked the knobs and they work as they should. Hope this helps. Thanks, Brigida

On mine I just have to press the lock release button then twist the handle until the handle locks automatically. You need to make sure your lock button is not stuck in the open position

If you look at the lid 'bottom up' you will see two holes in the glass: one for the screw, the other off center about an inch, with a peg (part of the knob assembly) for stabilization. If the way it was put together on yours offends you, you could try taking the screw out and rotating the knob to the centered position.

There should be a hex wrench with the doorknob, if not it is a standard size. You use it to loosend the handle and either rotate it 180 degrees or switch sides depending on your knob.

I assume it's locked up also? I'd contact the maker. They seem concerned that their product works well. They responded to my review about the poorly designed locking mechanism so they might just send you a replacement. Worth a shot!

It may seem like it is locked in place, but once mounted it will swivel quite well......it needs to be broken in so to say....mine was tight but now it is fine....well worth the price. If this is not the case and yours is defective, just return it....but I think you will be fine once you have it installed and begin using it. GC

O.k. Thanks! I'll try that tonight. I saw that short knob and I keep messing with it, but nothing is happening. I think I'm not doing it right though so I'll try again and maybe get someone to help me. When I jiggle and pull the knobit, do I pull on the base of the machine at the same time? Just making sure I understand what to do here. Thanks again!

Make sure the handle is align with everything and then try to turn the dial. Repeat the steps if no luck at first. That happens to us but do this and works well. Thanks

mine relocks, but I do have to turn the knob back to original position, and it stays locked until pin is typed in again

Make sure the top is tightened all of the way. I thought my switch was broken until I twisted the top clockwise to tighten it.

I have had to fiddle with the key several times. Make sure the key is "fully" inserted and try to turn. Depending on how you threaded the cable through it may need to either be removed one way through the lock or the other way as I have had it lock two different ways.

I had the same problem, the button is actually a pin that goes through the rod that actually spins, I accidentally pulled the whole thing out of the machine, and when i put it back it didn't line up properly to "pin" the rod in place, I had to wiggle it around until it finally got back in place.

no i do not have any problem so far. I am not sure why knob is not turning to right side where there is sign of cleaning.

That's a good question, I wondered the same thing, I did a search at different sites using the model number, what I found out is that the picture is in error, there is a button in the middle of the knob to turn to lock it. It's a really nice lock set. hope i answered your question clearly
