Has anyone experienced a problem with the rock locks not "snapping" into place as easily as the videos?

I have not experienced problems. But you should know that it does not snap at any desired position. It snaps at every step of the ladder ( 1 foot).

Our 30 year old 30' extension ladder was done/dangerous. We got the best replacement we could. What we discovered was that the Little Giant that we got was really heavy, but when both my husband and I do it together it works well. We can slip and giggle and get the rock lock to the correct spot/hole and it will lock. I think it may be more difficult for someone alone. We're in our late 60's and not fit. We like the Little Giant and would buy it again if we needed to.

Until I had used the ladder a few times I also had some difficulty. Once I had figured out where pins needed to be placed I had no further problems. Furthermore, as a person who 'prefers to be on the ground', the tighter fit gives the ladder a much more stable feel.

They are tight until you have used them for a while and they wear in a little.

I have had mine for over two years and NEVER an issue. It gets loaned out and never heard a comment from anyone using mine?

Nope. These are actually easier to manipulate than the old style. They don't need oil, but I put a little white grease on them anyway. They're very well designed.

Yes, rock locks "snap" into place just as quick for me, as advertised in the video. What you witness in the video is exactly, what I have experienced during personal use . Safe, high quality, well engineered product, 100% satisfied.

I had no problem snapping them on. I was even concerned that it was too easy and the wheels would not stay on but they have. Sorry I cannot help more.

- I haven't had that issue, there is a lever on the side that locks in and out of place...that might be the problem.

I haven't had any issues (knock wood) with this lock jamming. This is my second one. Perhaps there isn't enough room between the lock and the brake disc that is causing difficulty with removing the lock. There is a certain technique and patience needed when using this lock.

I have not had that problem. Push in until it snaps. I had to push a little harder than I originally thought.

I am no expert by any stretch. I have not had that problem. I'd check to make sure the knives are in tight,that they are square and parallel and don't taper down. I wish I could be of more help to you. I have found the technical support at Grizzly to be very good. Your belt is tensioned correctly ? Good luck and if you can let me know if and how you got it taken care of. Steve

Did not have that problem. The set was a gift but she says all works fine. Might check to see if you are pushing them down far or hard enough to actually lock. Good luck!

If you have a local rock shop you can try there, or order one directly from the tumbler company. i have had mine jump off the track a few times and it seems to be caused by one of the bars the barrels rests on sliding to the end which makes the barrel rub against the metal and sometimes fall off. What I do to fix this is put something heavy, like a brick, against the end of tumbler so that the bar can't slide. It's kind of hard to describe, but I hope this helps!

Sorry, wound up having friend set up the wall attachment because the clamp kept slipping and the toggle thingy broke off. I am able to adjust it anyway I prefer now. Don't know if anyone else had a slipping and breaking problem.

Although it sounds like a simple question, it isn't, as you haven't given the problem you are having in placing the back. How "tight" do you expect it to be? When I placed the back into the slots it did "snap" are you not feeling it snap? You could have placed it at an off-angle and so it isn't fitting snugly into the channel. Pull it out and then try gently placing it into the back slots until you hear a "snap" It won't be as tight as if it was screwed in, however, it shouldn't be "loose" either. Good luck!

has anyone had any problems with getting the stroller to collapse the first time after assembly?

mine is really loose and just pulls apart. They look like they're supposed to be twisted together but mine i just push the wide angle off with my thumb. Sorry, can't be of much help, but try pushing it!

I slide the lock and slip the front of the base-plate into the hook on the front (the opposite side from where the slide is) then press the base-plate down on the back (close to the slide). It has to go in at an angle and then the back goes down and when you release the slide it should lock into place. Note the base-plate is the part with the screw that normally goes onto your camera. mine shipped to me together, if yours did not then maybe you do have bad fitting pieces.

I didn't have that problem. However, I've read in reviews that the wheel does loosen up. Actually, now that I think about it, it has gotten a lot looser.

It can be. Loading the skis/boards more centrally (away from the pillar) seems to help. And don't be afraid to stand up on the door ledge and "Hulk Smash" the thing shut. I usually have to apply a fair amount of closing pressure while I'm turning the key as well. Wasn't sure if you were asking about closing/locking so I went with both. Good rack though - no buyer's remorse here at all. Hope this helps.

Mike,I had the EXACT same problem for a day or so. Then, for some unexplained reason, the stars aligned, and it seated correctly (while I was making a video to email to Lucid to demonstrate problem, no less). Try turning the square bolts 90 degrees, 1 at a time, and check seating after you turn each one. For me, it was the REAR bolt that was giving me problems. Try mounting it on different rail spaces, too. Let Lucid know, ASAP, tho, so its documented. They told me (the "founder"), that they never heard of this problem. LOL. Mine sits tight now...go figure. Good luck.

There is a pull and twist pin that will either keep the rocking movement locked, or allow for continuous rocking. The pin handle is a little difficult to engage/disengage.
