Selected User Reviews For Rola 59905 Locking Knob for Truck Rack (59799)
These look exactly like the ones that came with the rack, but when you tried to unscrew them, they both locked up and wouldn't come unlocked. As soon as I started turning the knob, they would instantly relock. I needed to adjust the rack before I could even drive the truck safely, so I had to break the knobs into small pieces to get at the internals and remove them with pliers, then replace them with large wing nuts. Previous attempts to contact support over an earlier issue received no response, so I didn't bother this time.
I was unable to turn the keys on their ignition. One of them was stuck in the lock position, while the other was stuck in the unlock position. br>When I tried to install them, the key mechanism fell out of both. I was finally able to get them both in a unlock position so that I could fasten my rack by using pliers on the key. They serve as an expensive nut on my rack system now. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> Customer service replaced both locks and provided excellent product support; their contact information was included with the rack. br>Keys are now accepted for replacement locks.
