Selected User Reviews For Hi-Lift HM-LK Hood Mount Locking Knob

The plan did not work
3/5

After it arrived, there was no turning of the key. One of the pins was loose from the cylinder so I took it apart and fixed it. After the lock was returned to its original location, it worked again. No doubt about it, this lock is poorly made and designed. You should actually be gentle with it as it comes with warnings. HI-FI does not usually behave this way An upward lift. Each time you get a Hi-five Among the Lift products I own, I find it to be excellent. Make sure to lock your computer in another way Jacks need to be lifted. A brief update According to the instructions, I put on the lock loosely. The threads of the screw have become corroded after a couple of months. My method of getting it off consisted of unlocking it, squeezing it gently with an excellent large channel lock and slowly turning it. As I turned the channel lock one quarter turn, the corrosion was released and I was able to remove the part by hand. I thought about greasing the threads and mounting it on my Jeep again. I threw it away when I realized it was nothing but trouble, and I replaced it with a cable lock and a padlock.

Don't go there! The complete opposite of what we are looking for
3/5

I was unable to remove my jack after 6 months due to a failed lock removal mechanism on the hood of my Jeep.

The threaded fitting may have partially fused to the mount bolt because it was exposed to the elements. In order to twist the lock open, tension must be applied, but too much tension will cause it to click/free spin. I did spray and soak every part of the plant that I was able to reach. The thing was stubborn to remove, so it took me an hour with multiple tools to get it When I got to the plain non-alcoholic drink, I immediately went back to it The handles work without a problem when licked. Purchases should not be made as you may regret them during an emergency situation.

Fits perfectly to the hood mount on the jk
5/5

As described, pairs perfectly with the JK hood mount (my mount is on There is no locking mechanism in the stock hood mount kit, which means that this is a good way to prevent easy theft of your hood. An equipment jack mounted to the wall. This lock is simple in operation, it requires you to turn it on and insert the key (holding the knob still once in place) and turn the key to engage the lock, then you can remove the key and the knob will freely spin but no lock will engage. Apply the key in reverse and turn the other direction to disengage the lock, pull the key out and now the knob will turn up or down (tighten or loosen as appropriate) to allow you to remove it. My jeep buddies, this is what you need to remember The perfect purchase for ease of use When coupled with the JK hood mount kit for farm jacks and high-lifts, it will remind you not to leave the farm jack unattended Jacks can be used to lift. It is made by Hi-Tec as well An example of lifting would be.

The material is somewhat thin
3/5

This seems like a solid lock at first glance. I have my senses, but I often have trouble getting on because I am not sure if the lock is engaged. The thread has to be enough or else the motor will spin right off even after the lock is applied. The lock mechanism fell out of the knob when it was accidentally dropped in the garage. No glue seemed to be holding it in place and I did not want to add any so that the key would be unable to turn. Once I put it back, it was snug, but it was still easy to remove. There is a good chance someone could break it off in order to get to my jack, and if they want to do this they could easily do it. Although it's often a source of concern to me, it's the only lock I can find for locking down a jack mounted on a hood, so I'll just.

I'm not sure if this actually works, as the one we had was defective
3/5

During the purchase of the High-Definition Television, I purchased an additional separate product which was advertised on the site As a Christmas gift, I gave my husband a Jeep lift kit that mounts the hood to his Jeep. Having put our Jeep in a storage unit from November to April, this year he did not mount his Jack kit Later when he switched one of the stew down pieces with the Lockable Hi-Tec piece, the lock refused to work. This piece is for lifting. No! I didn't get any work done! A lock cannot be applied to it. Nov/Dec was past the purchase date, so it could not be purchased. We were told that we need a receipt and a recent proof of purchase to exchange the defective part that locks the Jack in place on the mount when he called to replace it Though I bought it at the same time and searched for it, I could not locate it I applied the same charge to the LCD and the Hi-Def Kitt Jack Mount kit (which seems to be working well) In this case, $19 is not enough. I returned the 95 knob to them, but they wouldn't let me take it back without receipt and didn't exchange this one I'd appreciate it if you sent a working copy. I am very disappointed. Lock down an expensive Jack & Jill with a $20 item There was no way to exchange the product. The lift mount I purchased was perfect for my needs. Even if you don't work with me, that should be enough of a reason. It is unlikely that I will purchase anything else from them online in the future.

My thoughts on the product are very positive
3/5

The installation process is straightforward. In addition, In the past, I have never written a review, but this one is worthy. My thoughts on the product are very positive. It's simple to set up, and you can lock it. One day, out of nowhere, the top portion of the lock just blows off! The lock was locked on the lift for most of the year. Upon seeing it, my hood is damaged, and the bolt falls to the ground. Before I stopped, it rode for a good 10 miles. My top did not fly off, but I did capture a video of the bolt just hanging out on the As a result, it appears to be able to bounce and rattle itself free, which makes me wonder if someone wanted to steal my highlift, how difficult it would have been to break the.

A poor design seems to be the case here
3/5

Having this on my hood mount for over two and a half years is a long-term commitment. As a beginning, the locking mechanism is quite a bit flimsy, but it functions. It seems to be badly designed, though. When water gathers in the hole in the center, rust builds up on the threads, and the hole Because of the flimsy locking mechanism, it cannot grasp the nut tightly enough to break the rusted threads, so the nut keeps sliding. As of now, I am left only with the option to chisel open the plastic to remove the knob, and then use a wrench to grab the nut and remove it. I was fortunate enough not to need the Hi-Visibility vest My only option was to lift, or I would have been stuck on the trail without a way to remove it. If you want to mount this product on your hood, I would not recommend it.

It's a bummer that the lock doesn't work
3/5

I advise you not to The door won't remain closed. There's nothing good about this lock. There is no lock on it. The device will remain locked if I smack it, but I can immediately unlock it again. I'm glad I spent my money in such a wasteful way. It is at this point that I realize it does not work and I can only hope a would-be thief does not in fact attempt to steal it. My money is being betrayed and I wish that I could get it back.
