GibraltarHinged Memory Lock 12.7 mm 12.7 mm
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 12.7 mm hinged memory lock that clamps onto a stand tube to hold a height setting. For drummers who reset the same kit repeatedly.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Gigging drummers who tear down and rebuild the same kit nightly
- Marking cymbal or tom-arm height so it returns identically
- Replacing a lost or stripped lock on an existing stand
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Stands with tubes that are not 12.7 mm
- Drummers who leave a kit permanently set up
- Anyone needing a locking clamp that bears weight on its own
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 design
Opens on a hinge so it goes on mid-tube without pulling the stand apart or removing the tube above it.
Detail 03
Memory lock function
Sits under the tube joint as a stop. Height comes back to the same point without measuring or eyeballing.
Detail 04
Single lock per pack
One tube joint covered. A stand with two or three telescoping sections needs one lock per joint.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your tube with calipers — 12.7 mm only, not a nearby size
- 02A drum key or hex wrench is needed to tighten the clamp bolt
- 03Sold as a lock only; no stand, tube, or hardware included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What size tube does this fit?
12.7 mm, which is 1/2 inch. Measure the outside diameter of your stand tube. Other diameters need a different memory lock.
02Do I have to disassemble the stand to install it?
No. The hinge opens, so it wraps around the tube in place and clamps shut.
03How many do I get?
One lock. Count your telescoping joints and cymbal or tom arms to work out how many you need.
04Will it work on non-Gibraltar stands?
Yes, as long as the tube measures 12.7 mm. It clamps on the tube, not to a brand-specific fitting.
