GibraltarHinged Memory Lock 12.7 mm 3/4 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hinged memory lock for 12.7mm (1/2 in.) drum hardware tubing. Marks a set height so stands and mounts return to the same position after teardown.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drummers tearing down and resetting a kit at every gig
- Locking cymbal or tom arm height so it repeats exactly
- Replacing a lost or stripped lock on existing hardware
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Hardware with tubing thicker or thinner than 12.7mm
- Drummers with a kit that never moves and never needs re-set
- Anyone expecting it to add load capacity to a weak stand
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 to fit around tubing already in place, so you skip disassembling the stand to slide it on.
Detail 03
Acts as a stop, not a clamp
It sets where a section rests when lowered; the stand's own wing nut still carries the holding load.
Detail 04
Sold as hardware, not per kit
One lock covers one joint. A full kit reset usually needs several.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your tubing — drum hardware also comes in 19mm, 22mm and other diameters
- 02Single piece; setting a whole kit takes one per adjustment point
- 03Overtightening on thin tubing can dent it — snug is enough
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What size tubing does this fit?
12.7mm, which is 1/2 inch. It will not hold on larger or smaller tubes, so measure the section you plan to mark.
02Do I have to take my stand apart to install it?
No. The hinge opens so you can wrap it around tubing that is already assembled, then close and tighten it in place.
03Does it hold the weight of the stand?
No. It marks a return height. The stand's existing wing nut or clamp still does the actual holding.
04Will one lock set up my whole kit?
No. Each adjustment point you want to repeat needs its own lock, so count your joints before ordering.
