Our unique Slip-lock collar works by locking automatically as the inner pole is raised. As the downward load is applied, the special ‘ball-taper’ locking mechanism engages and keeps the upright in place. The more pressure from above, the tighter it locks. To disengage the lock and lower the upright, simply raise the inner pole slightly and then lift the release ring. This is the preferred locking mechanism for wedding decorators as it allows for easy raising of tall and heavy backdrops without the risk of losing your grip and smashing your fingers. It also allows for one-handing raising of the backdrop - so simple!

Disclaimer: Do to variation between manufacturing runs the locking collar may differ in color (silver or black). This does not effect the quality or functionality of the pipe.
