As previously reported, the securing pin of the Paralock 3 can be operated incorrectly, so that it is moved to the blocking position while the swivel lever is not in the fully closed position. This makes it possible to block the swivel lever in the open position.
The successor model, Paralock 4, which is expected to be released in 2027, is designed in such a way that incorrect operation of the optional blocking mechanism using the securing pin is constructively prevented.
To activate the blocking mechanism, a latch attached to the Paralock 4 must be pushed and held upwards against spring force. This latch can only be operated when the swivel lever is in the correct locking position.
To unblock the Paralock 4, there is no need to operate the latch again. It is a matter of seconds via the Blue Disc and the latch is automatically reset.
The construction drawing shows the technical solution integrated inside the Paralock. The additional weight is only approx. 5 g.
