Hello, and happy walking! These poles both broke after 3 months and I have since replaced them with a much better set of poles, made by Black Diamond. Reki also makes excellent poles. The Cascade poles collapsed while hiking, and the tips fell off. Awful. The Black Diamonds do require hand strength to lengthen and shorten. I have thumb arthritis, and sometimes have to ask a fellow hiker to assist. If you plan on keeping them at the sme length at all times, then it's less of a problem.

The "quick-locks" are easier to use than the standard twist open and lock that many other models have, so they should be easier for people with weaker hands. They've slipped down a little bit, but never collapsed.

Cam locks are usually key cylinders like you find in a bike lock. These poles have quick release levers that do require some hand & finger strength. They do have a tightening screw so the tension can be adjusted. they have never accidentally opened for us.

To tell you the truth I wouldn't buy this item because it is not very safe and is easy to break into! I'm 10 years old and I was able to break into this safe using paper clips! Just a heads up!

I gave this as a present to an elderly lady. I would say she was about 150lbs. have not heard that it collapsed under her!!!

I have to agree with beholder242. The lock is as robust as it can be considering the application. I don't believe that the average person could defeat it simply by trying to pick it.

Number depends on how you want to put them in. If you just want to dump them in a pile and shove them in it would hold 20-30. Organizing and making easy access would lower the number. Would not recommend this safe to anyone. Lock quit working very quickly. When I called the girl on the phone gave me the exact specs as to where to drill to open it. That says to me that this same problem with the locks must be pretty commom if the girl answering the phone has this data.

This did not work for me. If you pulled hard on the door it would open; Our grandson, under two, figured it out. So I would guess there is a 50-50 chance this would work for you. My son has gone to another technique for bedroom and bathroom doors in his condo. They lock the doors from the inside while leaving the room! Their door locks allow this. They then keep a jeweler's screwdriver handy to unlock the doors when they need access. I have not found any other contraptions to child proof a door that don't require modifications.

Yes. For as heavy duty as it is, you can easily turn the key to raise it up , close the base up and insert pin to lock it in place.I am 72 and it cetainly has made getting around a possibility.

Once you get the set-screw and locking nut adjusted properly, the cam lock works perfectly. It is all in the set-up. I now have 2 of these, I think they are just great. Your mileage may vary.

Please keep in mind that the Cam Jam is not intended for climbing. If you consider this for a moment, you'll realize that the average man May weight in at 170 lbs.Based on that idea... I guesstimate 75 lbs max pull or dead weight.Just my two cents...

Irrespective of any security measures a motivated thief will find a way. Anyone who wants to use a crow bar must be desperate as the reward is not worth the trouble. I did get a response from the manufacturer on the question of security and their lock sets. They did say the lock set is the same for all units of this type but the combinations are in the thousands ,however it appears there is a probability that several customers could have the same key and combination. So the keys are not universal but not totally secure.

There is very little "resistance" during the operation of this chair and it reclines to an extreme position, which is one of the things I like about it. But it is possible for the chair to fall back to it's fully reclined position rather suddenly which could be alarming at the very least, not to mention difficult to get out of for someone with minimal strength. The safety locks might be in an awkward place for an elderly person to deal with as well. If your mother is frail, or less than adventurous, I would not recommend this chair. Uncle Crusty

To be honest, I would have to say no to this question. While you can do it and they are plenty strong enough to hold the latch, I think they would break in small pieces if the clasp hit very hard. I think they are to brittle for this use.

In addition, you can disengage the locks by pushing the little switch so that if you are working in your kitchen, you can get into your cabinets easily. As a grandparent, these work well for us because the little one is not always here and we just disengage them when he is not at our house and lock them back up when he is. My daughter has them also and loves them.

No, they are way to soft to manipulate a lock. I tried to remove a stuck/broken key from my tanning bed I'm trying to sell and these just got all bent out of shape.

Hi Kathryn,That depends my mother is 78 and yes I could show her how to use the chair with no issues. However, if this person has balance/coordination issues, when it goes back it may make them uneasy or have a falling feeling only if you don't realize what you are doing. It is easy to use once they get the hang of pushing the foot bar out so that it goes back. The locking mechanism is easy to use so I would not see any issue even if they had trouble with their hands for some reason. But that is my best advise. Hopefully this helps.

I cant answer that bc my dad 78yrs wont use it said it was a great idea, but that it was way too flimsy and it didnt trust it not to break and him fall so he wont use it, guess i am saying i am not recommending this
