Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A one-inch hinged memory lock for drum hardware. It opens on a hinge so you can add or move it without pulling the stand apart.

Product studyGibraltar Hinged Memory Lock 12.7 mm 1 in.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Marking tom and cymbal heights so setup repeats exactly
  • Adding position marks to hardware already assembled
  • Touring players who tear down and rebuild nightly

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Tubes that are not 1 inch / 12.7 mm in diameter
  • Anyone wanting a lock that also carries weight
  • Players with a permanent setup that never moves

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 01

12.7 mm / 1 in. sizing

Two numbers, two different tubes. Confirm which one your stand uses — they are not interchangeable.

Detail 02

Hinged design

Opens and clamps around the tube in place. No need to disassemble the stand to slide it on.

Detail 03

Memory lock function

Sets a stop so the tube returns to the same height every time. Speeds up setup and keeps angles consistent.

Detail 04

Sold as a single lock

One per adjustment point. A full kit needs several, so count your stands before ordering.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your tube diameter first — a mismatched lock will not hold
  2. 02One lock covers one joint; most kits need four or more
  3. 03Overtightening on thin tubing can dent or score the finish

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01How is this different from a standard memory lock?

A standard lock slides on from the tube end. This one hinges open, so you can fit it to already-assembled hardware.

02Will it fit my cymbal stand?

Only if that section of tubing measures 1 inch / 12.7 mm. Stands use several diameters, so measure the exact section.

03Do I get more than one?

This is a single lock. Order one for each height or angle you want to mark.

04Does it hold the stand up by itself?

No. It is a position stop, not a load-bearing clamp. The stand's own wing screw still does the holding.
