Product Information
Product Overview
The locking bed base mechanism is a scissor-arm system that raises the lid of an ottoman storage bed and LOCKS it in the open position. The lock stops the lid falling shut on its own, so it does not need to be held by hand while items are put into or taken out of the storage space. It is therefore preferred for safety, especially with heavy and tall lids.
Product Advantages
- The lock holds the lid open, removing the risk of it closing onto you.
- Both hands stay free while items are placed in the storage space.
- The scissor-arm structure raises the lid evenly and smoothly.
- Allows safe operation with heavy and tall lids.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the lock released?
The lock engages automatically once the lid reaches the open position. To close, the locking lever is released and the lid is lowered under control. Releasing the lock requires a deliberate action, which prevents the lid from closing accidentally.
Is it used together with a gas spring?
The locking mechanism holds the lid open, while the gas spring assists the lift and slows the descent. On heavy lids, using both reduces the opening effort and keeps the closing action controlled.
When is the locking type needed?
It is needed wherever any chance of the lid dropping on its own is unacceptable. In homes with children, and where the bed is opened often, the lock physically holds the lid in place.
Does the lock replace a gas spring?
No — they do different jobs. The gas spring assists the lid as it rises and slows its descent; the lock fixes the lid in the open position. Used together they give the safest result.
What material is the locking bed base mechanism made from?
The body and the locking part are made of steel, with the surface protected by an electrostatic coating. On request we also manufacture in different sizes, materials and surface treatments.
