GibraltarHinged Key Memory Lock
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take

Strong match
Who this is for
- Gigging drummers rebuilding the same kit nightly

- Keeping a drum key attached to the hardware
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bedroom players who never break down the kit
- Stands that already include factory memory locks
- Hardware with non-standard tube diameters
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Hinged key
A drum key folds into the lock body, so a key rides on the stand instead of getting lost in a bag.
Detail 03
Clamp-on design
Tightens around the tube with a bolt. Placement is up to you, so mark your height before locking it down.
Detail 04
Sold as hardware accessory
One lock covers one adjustment point. A full kit typically needs several to lock every stand.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many memory locks do I need?
One per adjustment point you want to repeat. A typical kit has several stands with two or more sections each, so drummers often buy them in multiples.
02Will it fit my cymbal stand?
It fits standard round drum hardware tubing. Measure the tube diameter at the point you want to clamp, since stands vary between and within brands.
03Does the drum key actually work for tuning?
Yes, it is a functional drum key on a hinge. It works for tension rods and hardware bolts, though a standard key is faster for a full tuning session.
04Will it scratch my stand?
Clamping metal to a chrome tube can leave marks over time, especially if you retighten it in different spots. Pick your position and leave it there.
