OEM Arm Locking Rotation Shaft | Folding Arm Lock Pin Set | Arm Locking Handle Connecting Rod Shaft | Cross-Drilled Arm Lock Barrel Nut | 10-Piece Field Service Pack | The Small Part Standing Between Your Arms and the Ground


🇺🇸 U.S.A. FIRST

Ares Acres LLC is a U.S.-based authorized DJI Agras reseller supporting American agricultural drone operators with genuine DJI Agras OEM replacement parts, accessories, and field-ready inventory.

FREE & FAST Shipping is included for all U.S. customers.

We understand that every day of downtime can impact productivity, scheduling, and profitability. That's why we focus on providing fast fulfillment, responsive customer support, and reliable access to the parts operators need most.

We stock the parts American operators actually break — so you get back in the air, not back in line.

We use specialized technicians to verify and dispatch the Arm Locking Rotation Shaft ordered.

Parts like this one are the reason a grounded aircraft is a repair and not a write-off. A single component held in U.S. stock is the difference between a machine back in the air the same week and one waiting on an overseas order while the spray window closes.

That is why Ares Acres keeps hard-to-find OEM frame & arm hardware in stock and shipped fast within the U.S.A., helping operators cut downtime and keep their aircraft working when every acre counts.

For professional farmers, aerial applicators, and commercial drone operators running the DJI Agras T40 / DJI Agras T30 / DJI Agras T25 / DJI Agras T25P / DJI Agras T20P / DJI Agras T60, this is the part that keeps a scheduled job on the calendar instead of on hold.

Ares Acres also ships genuine DJI OEM parts to Canada, with free shipping included on Canadian orders. Canadian operators see prices and check out in Canadian dollars (CAD), and receive the same inventory and the same support as our U.S. customers — one authorized DJI Agras reseller serving the United States and Canada, all of North America, from Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Ten pieces means one order covers every arm on your aircraft with spares left in the toolbox — exactly how a working fleet should stock this part.


🔧 Component Overview

This precision-machined metal rotation shaft is the locking heart of the Agras folding arm system. The cylindrical body seats inside the arm locking handle assembly, while the threaded cross-bore accepts the locking rod, converting handle rotation into positive clamping force that holds each arm rigidly in its flight position. It is a compact component with an outsized job: transferring lock tension across the arm joint thousands of times over the working life of the aircraft.

Before you order, find out whether the looseness is in the shaft or somewhere else in the lock train. Deploy the arm, close the handle normally, then grip the arm near the motor and try to rock it up and down and twist it about its own axis. Watch the handle while you do it. If the handle itself stays still and the movement shows up between the arm and the frame, the clamp is not being drawn tight, and the shaft is a prime suspect. If the handle visibly moves with the arm, look at the handle pivot and its seat first.

The handle throw tells you most of what you need to know. A healthy lock builds resistance progressively through the last part of its travel and then snaps over center with a definite stop. A handle that sweeps its whole arc with no build of tension, or that closes with noticeably less effort than the same handle on another arm, is not pulling on anything. That is either a locking rod that has backed out of the shaft or a cross-bore whose threads are gone.

Separate a stripped bore from a damaged rod on the bench. Back the rod out completely and run it into the shaft by hand, no tools. A rod that spins in freely and keeps spinning with no rising resistance is going into a bore with no thread left. A rod that bites for a turn or two and then jams needs looking at with a glass: galled or rolled thread crests on the rod itself will do that, and fitting a new shaft against a chewed rod just cuts the new bore out in a week.

Check the shaft body for geometry, not just for threads. Roll it slowly across a flat, clean bench surface. A shaft that rocks or clicks as it rolls is bent, and a bent shaft will bind in its seat and load the cross-bore off axis every time the handle closes. Look also for a bright polished band or a flattened area on the barrel where it bears in the housing. That flat is a bearing surface that has started to brinell, and it lets the shaft settle into a new position each cycle.

One more test rules out the housing before you blame the hardware. With the rod fully engaged and the handle closed, press the lock assembly hard against the arm structure with your thumb while a second person rocks the arm. If the play disappears under hand pressure, the fault is a loose or elongated seat, a fastener that has stopped clamping, or debris on a mating face, and a new shaft will not fix any of those. If the play is still there with the assembly held firm, it is inside the shaft and rod pair.


⚙️ Functional Purpose

  • Anchors the arm locking handle's connecting rod through its threaded cross-bore
  • Rotates within the lock assembly to allow smooth handle engagement and release
  • Maintains clamping tension that keeps folding arms locked during flight, spraying, and transport
  • Distributes locking load through solid machined metal rather than plastic housing surfaces
  • Enables fast, tool-light fold-out deployment at the field edge

Support the arm before you release anything. With the aircraft powered down and the flight batteries disconnected, take the weight of the arm on a padded stand or have a second person hold it at the motor end. An arm carries a motor, a propeller set, and a run of cable, and once the lock lets go that whole mass swings down onto the hinge and onto whatever is left holding the joint. Working solo with an unsupported arm is how the pivot and the cable get damaged during a five minute job.

Take the rod out by counting, not by feel. Open the handle, then back the locking rod out of the cross-bore and count the turns as it comes free. That count is your reference for how deep the replacement should sit, and it costs nothing to record. Bag the rod with the arm position written on the bag. If your aircraft has more than one lock coming apart in the same session, keeping each rod with its own position stops you from mixing a good rod onto a fresh shaft and a worn one onto another.

The shaft is a slip fit in its seat and it comes out sideways, not by prying. Push it through from one end with a soft drift, brass or nylon, sized to bear on the shaft face rather than on the edge of the bore. Do not lever a screwdriver between the shaft and the housing. The housing around this joint is composite and light alloy, and a lever mark there becomes the elongated seat that makes the next shaft go loose. If it will not move, clean the exposed part and work penetrating residue out first, then push again.

Orientation is the one thing that is easy to get wrong. The cross-bore has to end up square to the line the rod pulls along, so the rod enters straight rather than at an angle. Slide the new shaft in, then turn it with your fingers until you can see daylight through the bore along the rod's path before the rod ever touches it. Fitting the shaft first and then hunting for the thread with the rod is how the bore gets cross-threaded on a brand new part.

Start the rod backwards. Turn it counterclockwise with light pressure until you feel the thread start drop into the bore, then reverse and run it in clockwise by hand for at least the first several turns. It must go in with finger pressure alone. The moment you need a tool to make progress on an early turn, stop and back it out, because you are cutting a new path instead of following the existing one. Only bring a driver in once the rod is running freely and you are seating it.

Never use the handle as a wrench to gain the last bit of tension. The handle is a cam, and its geometry sets the clamp force once the rod depth is right. Forcing it closed against a rod that is not deep enough puts the entire mechanical advantage of that lever straight into the cross-bore threads, and that single moment is the most common way these shafts are killed. If the handle will not come over center with normal hand effort, take it apart and correct the rod depth instead.

You know it is seated when the handle behaves like the others. Close it and feel for rising resistance through the last third of the travel and a clean over-center click. Then repeat the rock test at the motor end: the arm should move as one piece with the frame with no detectable lift at the joint. Fold and deploy the arm three or four times and check the tension again, because a fresh shaft can settle slightly into its seat on the first few cycles.


⚠️ Common Replacement Indicators

  • Stripped threads in the cross-bore from over-tightening or cross-threading the locking rod
  • Loose or wobbly arm lock handles that no longer hold firm tension
  • Visible wear, galling, or deformation on the shaft body from repeated lock cycles
  • Corrosion or chemical pitting after seasons of contact with agricultural chemicals and washdown water
  • Lost hardware — these small shafts are the first thing to disappear during field teardowns and arm repairs
  • Fatigue from vibration cycling on high-hour aircraft that fold and deploy multiple times daily

One handle that closes with visibly less effort than the rest, on an aircraft where all the arms are the same age, means that lock has stopped generating clamp force. It is the earliest honest warning this part gives and it is easy to check on the ground in under a minute. Compare each handle to the others every time you deploy, and treat the odd one out as a fault rather than as a handle that has loosened up nicely.

A rod that has backed part way out on its own between flights is not vibration alone. Something is failing to hold it: worn thread flanks in the cross-bore that no longer have enough engagement to resist rotation, or a shaft that is turning in its own seat and taking the rod around with it. Reseating the rod makes the symptom go away for a day or two and then it returns, usually a little sooner each time.

Fine bright metal particles or a smear of swarf around the lock after a fold cycle mean the thread is actively being cut away. There is no wear-in period for this part. Any fresh metal appearing at the joint is material leaving the cross-bore or the rod, and the amount of thread left to lose is small. Wipe the area clean, fold the arm a few times, and look again to confirm it is ongoing rather than left from an earlier repair.

A creak or a single sharp click from one arm as the aircraft lifts off, or as it sets down, is the joint taking up its slack under load. Loads pass through the arm at takeoff that never appear on the ground. A joint that is silent while you rock it by hand and still speaks up at power is one that is closing a gap somewhere, and the shaft seat is the usual place for that gap to be.

Vibration that shows up on one motor position, and stays with that position when the aircraft is otherwise healthy, can be an arm that is not held true rather than a propeller or motor fault. A lock that is nearly but not quite tight lets the arm carry a small angular offset, so the rotor plane on that corner is no longer where the flight controller assumes it is. Swapping the propeller and finding the vibration unchanged points back at the joint.

An arm that will not deploy fully, or that a deployment check reports as not in position, sometimes traces back to a shaft that is binding rather than one that is worn. A bent shaft or a seat packed with dried spray residue stops the linkage from reaching its designed geometry, so the handle bottoms out early and the arm sits fractionally short of home.

Corrosion that appears specifically at the mouth of the cross-bore, rather than generally across the hardware, is a sign that solution is sitting inside the thread. That is the worst place for it. Thread flanks are thin, and pitting takes engagement away from exactly the surfaces doing the holding, so a shaft that looks acceptable from the outside can already be well down on strength.


📐 Specifications

  • Component: Arm Locking Handle Connecting Rod Rotation Shaft
  • Construction: Solid precision-machined metal, cross-drilled with threaded bore
  • Quantity: 10 pieces per pack
  • Listed Fitment: DJI Agras T50 / T40 / T30 / T25 / T25P / T20P / T60

Shaft Diameter, Length, and Thread Size: Not published in this listing. Do not order to a remembered figure. Lay the removed shaft alongside the replacement and compare barrel diameter, overall length, and rod thread engagement before anything goes back together.

Locking Rod Torque or Depth: Not published here. Use the DJI service figure for your airframe if one exists, and record the turn count as the rod comes out so the replacement is set to the same depth. Clamp force is set by rod depth and handle geometry, not by how hard you pull the lever.

Material Grade and Coating: Not stated by the supplier beyond precision-machined metal. Treat the surface finish as functional rather than cosmetic and do not abrade, bead blast, or re-plate a shaft to clean it up.

Locking Rod Included: No. This pack contains ten rotation shafts only. The connecting rod, the handle, the handle return hardware, and the arm clamp are separate components and are not supplied here.

Service Classification: Consumable frame hardware. Replaced on condition when thread engagement, shaft geometry, or handle tension goes off, and sensibly refreshed as a set during pre-season service rather than one lock at a time.


🧰 Fitment Verification Before You Order

Confirm fitment by part number before ordering. Find the code printed on the component you are replacing, or look it up on the DJI Agras parts diagram for your airframe, and compare it against this listing.

Revision suffixes are still the same part. DJI labels sometimes carry a trailing revision such as .01, .02, or .F. Those denote a production revision, not a different component. Match the base number and disregard the suffix.

Visually similar is not the same. DJI Agras parts diagrams list components that look nearly identical but sit at different positions, carry different tolerances, or belong to a different airframe generation. Ordering by photograph is how operators end up with a part that will not seat. Order by number.

Verified fitment for this listing: DJI Agras T40 / DJI Agras T30 / DJI Agras T25 / DJI Agras T25P / DJI Agras T20P / DJI Agras T60. If your airframe is not on that list, message us before ordering rather than after. We would rather answer a question than process a return, and so would you.

Not sure? Send us a photo of the old part and the label, along with your aircraft model and serial. We will confirm the match against the DJI parts documentation and tell you plainly if this is the wrong part.


🛠️ Installation & Handling Notes

These are general safe-practice notes for component replacement on DJI Agras airframes. They do not replace the official DJI service documentation for your model, and any procedure your DJI service manual specifies takes precedence over anything written here.

Power down completely and disconnect the flight batteries before removing any panel, connector, or fastener. Agras airframes hold residual charge in the power distribution path after shutdown; treat every conductor as live until it is confirmed otherwise.

Photograph the assembly before you disturb it. Cable routing, connector orientation, and fastener lengths on Agras airframes are not interchangeable, and the Arm Locking Rotation Shaft is easier to fit correctly when you can see how the original sat.

Torque to DJI specification. Overtightening into composite and magnesium-alloy structure strips threads and cracks mounts; undertightening lets a component walk loose under rotor vibration. Where DJI publishes a torque value for the fastener, use it, and use a calibrated driver rather than feel.

Check the mating surfaces and seals while you are in there. A component is only as good as what it seats against. Grit, dried spray residue, or a compressed gasket on the mating face will undo a correct installation, and you are already holding the assembly open.

Test before you spray. Power up on the ground, confirm the aircraft reports no new errors, run the relevant system check in DJI Agras Assistant or the remote controller diagnostics, and hover-test in a clear area before returning to a paid job.

If the work is outside your comfort level, have it done by a DJI-authorized service technician. The part cost is small next to the airframe.


🚜 Necessary For

  • Arm locking handle rebuilds and folding arm joint service
  • Restoring positive arm lock tension after thread damage
  • Pre-season fleet maintenance and hardware refresh
  • Field repair kits for spray crews running multiple aircraft
  • Replacing shafts lost or damaged during arm disassembly

The part most often confused with this one is the locking rod that threads into it. On the bench they are unmistakable: the rotation shaft is a short solid barrel with a threaded hole drilled through its side, and the rod is a slender threaded rod with no cross-bore at all. From a parts diagram at a glance, and in a conversation over the phone, they get swapped constantly because both are described as the thing that holds the arm lock. Decide which half of the pair is damaged before ordering, and inspect both while the joint is open.

Do not mistake this for the arm folding pivot pin. The pivot pin is the hinge the arm swings on, it is longer, it is plain along its length with no threaded cross-bore, and it sits at the fold axis rather than inside the handle assembly. A worn pivot pin gives you an arm that flops fore and aft even with the lock released, while a worn rotation shaft gives you an arm that swings normally and refuses to lock rigid. Different symptom, different part.

Frame hardware of this general shape appears at more than one place on an Agras airframe, and a barrel nut recovered from a toolbox drawer is not automatically the right one. The only safe check is length and thread against the shaft you actually removed. If it is longer, it will stand proud in the seat and the handle will foul it. If the thread pitch differs, it will feel almost right for a turn and then start cutting metal.

Count your own locks before you assume ten covers the aircraft with spares. The airframes this shaft is listed for do not all carry the same number of arms, so the same ten-piece pack is a full set plus a healthy margin on some machines and closer to a straight set on others. Count the locking handles on your own aircraft, decide how many spares you want in the truck, and order accordingly rather than assuming one pack equals one aircraft with change left over.

Finally, separate a lock problem from an arm clamp problem. If the handle builds proper tension and snaps over center, and the arm still moves, the shaft has done its job and the movement is coming from the clamp band, the arm tube surface it grips, or the mounting structure. Chasing that with new shafts will consume the whole pack and change nothing. Clamp faults usually show as a rotational twist of the arm about its own axis, with no lift at the lock.


💡 Why This Part Matters

An agricultural drone's folding arms take a beating that consumer aircraft never see — daily fold cycles, chemical exposure, washdowns, transport vibration, and the clamping stress of every single lock-down. The rotation shaft is where all of that force concentrates. A worn or stripped shaft means an arm that won't lock true, and an arm that won't lock true is an aircraft you can't trust over a field. At pennies per flight hour, keeping fresh shafts in every lock — and spares in the truck — is the cheapest insurance in your entire maintenance program. Swap them proactively and your arms stay tight, your props stay level, and your spray pattern stays honest.

While the lock is apart, look at the rod that goes with it. The rod and the shaft are a matched wearing pair, and whatever destroyed one has been working on the other. Run the rod between your fingers and look down its length under a light for flattened crests, a bright galled patch, or a slight bow. A rod with damaged thread will chew a fresh cross-bore quickly, and you will have spent a shaft to learn something you could have seen in ten seconds.

Check the handle and its pivot at the same time. A handle whose own pivot has worn slack changes the geometry of the lock, so the cam no longer reaches full over-center travel and the operator compensates by driving the rod deeper. That extra depth is what puts the shaft threads under loads they were never meant to carry. If the handle rattles on its pivot with the rod removed, fitting a new shaft alone will just repeat the failure on a longer timescale.

Look at the arm where the clamp grips it, and at the cable run through the joint. An arm that has been flying with a lock that is not quite tight has been moving microscopically under every rotor load cycle, and that movement polishes and eventually scores the tube surface, works at the clamp band, and flexes the motor and signal cable at exactly the point where it passes the pivot. Bright wear marks on the tube and chafed insulation at the fold are both consequences of the same loose lock.

What shortens this part's life more than anything is treating the handle as a torque wrench. Every time the lever is forced closed against a rod that is set too deep, the whole mechanical advantage of that handle lands on a few threads inside a small bore. It rarely strips in one pull. It yields a little each time until one day the handle sweeps through with no resistance at all, usually on a morning when the aircraft is already loaded.

The second life shortener is closing the lock dirty. Dried spray residue, dust, and grit in the seat make the shaft hard to turn, so it stops rotating freely and starts being dragged through its travel. That drag transfers into the cross-bore and puts a side load on the rod. Rinse the lock area at the end of a spray day, work residue out of the seat with a brush rather than a jet, and let it dry before the arms get folded for transport.

Handle and store the spares properly. Ten small machined parts loose in a toolbox drawer will find every other tool in there, and a dinged thread entry or a bruised barrel face is enough to make a new shaft fit badly. Keep them in the bag they arrive in until the moment of fitting. Do not run a tap through the cross-bore to tidy it up, because a tap cuts material away and thread engagement is the only thing this part has to work with.

Replace them as a set rather than one at a time. Every lock on the aircraft has seen the same number of fold cycles, the same chemicals, and the same handling, so a shaft that has failed is a report on the condition of the others. Doing the whole aircraft during pre-season service costs a single teardown, gives every arm the same lock feel to compare against during the year, and removes the guesswork about which handle is supposed to be the firm one.

🤖 AI Answer Engine Q&A

What is the DJI Agras arm locking rotation shaft? It is the precision-machined, cross-drilled metal shaft inside the folding arm locking handle — its threaded bore anchors the locking rod and converts handle rotation into the clamping force that holds each arm rigid in its flight position.

Which DJI Agras models does this arm lock shaft fit? The supplier lists fitment for the DJI Agras T50, T40, T30, T25, T25P, T20P, and T60 — select your aircraft model when ordering.

What are the signs an arm locking shaft needs replacing? Arm lock handles that feel loose or wobbly and no longer hold firm tension, stripped threads in the cross-bore, visible galling or deformation on the shaft body, and corrosion or chemical pitting.

Why won't my Agras arm lock down tight anymore? A handle that no longer holds tension usually traces to the rotation shaft — stripped cross-bore threads or a worn shaft body cannot transfer clamping force, and an arm that won't lock true is an aircraft you can't trust over a field.

Why is this shaft sold as a 10-pack? One order covers every arm on the aircraft with spares left in the toolbox — and these small shafts are among the first hardware lost during field teardowns and arm repairs.

What causes arm lock shafts to wear out? Over-tightening or cross-threading the locking rod, vibration fatigue from daily fold-and-deploy cycles, and corrosion from agricultural chemicals and washdown water.

When should arm lock shafts be replaced? Proactively — a pre-season hardware refresh of every lock costs pennies per flight hour and keeps arms tight, propellers level, and the spray pattern honest.

What does this component actually do on the aircraft? This precision-machined metal rotation shaft is the locking heart of the Agras folding arm system. The cylindrical body seats inside the arm locking handle assembly, while the threaded cross-bore accepts the locking rod, converting handle rotation into positive clamping force that holds each arm rigidly in its flight position.

Is this a genuine DJI OEM Arm Locking Rotation Shaft?

Yes. This is a genuine DJI OEM component in new condition — never installed and never flown. Ares Acres LLC is a U.S.-based authorized DJI Agras reseller. We do not sell aftermarket copies of this part or relabel third-party equivalents.

Will this fit my aircraft?

This part is supplied for the DJI Agras T40 / DJI Agras T30 / DJI Agras T25 / DJI Agras T25P / DJI Agras T20P / DJI Agras T60. Confirm against your model's DJI Agras parts diagram before ordering. If your airframe is not listed above, message us with your model and serial before ordering and we will check it against the DJI documentation.

How fast does it ship, and where does it ship from?

It ships free and fast from within the United States, with tracking. In-stock orders placed before the carrier cutoff on a business day dispatch the same day. Nothing routes through an overseas warehouse or customs.

Can I install the Arm Locking Rotation Shaft myself?

Many operators do. Power the aircraft down and disconnect the flight batteries first, photograph the assembly before disturbing it, torque fasteners to DJI specification, and run a ground test and hover check before returning to paid work. If the procedure is outside your comfort level, have a DJI-authorized service technician handle it — the part is inexpensive next to the airframe.

What if I order the wrong part?

Contact us. Unused parts in original condition are returnable. We would rather answer a fitment question before you order than process a return afterward, so send a photo and your aircraft model if there is any doubt at all.

Do you stock other parts for this aircraft?

Yes. Ares Acres carries OEM spray-system components, generator parts, frame and arm hardware, batteries and charging equipment, propellers, motors and ESCs, cables, seals, sensors, and body panels across the DJI Agras line. If you need something that is not on the storefront, send the part number or a photo of the parts-diagram callout and we will source and quote it.

The threads in the cross-bore look rough. Can I chase them with a tap instead of replacing the shaft?

It is a poor trade. A tap does not restore thread, it removes what is left of it, and thread engagement inside a bore this small is the only thing carrying the clamp load. You end up with a bore that feels clean on the bench, accepts the rod easily, and then yields under the first hard lock-down. Given that these ship ten to a pack, cutting a worn bore to save one piece is expensive in the way that matters.

My locking rod backs itself out after a couple of flights. Is that the shaft or the rod?

Usually the shaft, but check both. Back the rod out and run it in by hand. If it spins in with no rising resistance, the cross-bore has lost thread flank and no longer has enough grip to resist the vibration trying to unwind it. If the rod itself has flattened or galled crests, it has been damaging the bore and needs to go as well. Fitting a new shaft against a chewed rod reproduces the fault quickly.

Should I use thread locker or grease on the rod and shaft?

Not unless the DJI service documentation for your airframe specifies it, and no lubricant or adhesive specification is published in this listing. Thread locker on a joint that is meant to be adjusted makes the next service harder and can tear thread on removal. Grease in an open lock seat collects dust and dried spray residue and turns into a paste that keeps the shaft from turning freely. Fit it clean and dry.

Can I fly one more load with a lock that will not quite come tight?

Do not. An arm that is not locked rigid is not held in the position the flight controller assumes it is in, and the loads that find that slack are the ones at takeoff and in a loaded turn, not the ones you can feel by hand on the ground. The failure mode is not gradual once it starts moving under power. With a ten-piece pack in the truck this is a ten minute job at the field edge instead.

Does the shaft go in a particular way round?

The barrel is symmetrical to the eye, but the cross-bore is not optional in its alignment. It has to sit square to the line the rod pulls along so the rod enters straight. Slide the shaft in, then turn it by hand until you can see through the bore along the rod's path before the rod touches it. Getting that wrong is how a brand new cross-bore ends up cross-threaded on the first fitting.

The handle feels firm but the arm still moves at the motor end. Is the shaft still the problem?

Probably not. If the handle builds resistance and snaps over center, the shaft and rod are transmitting force. Movement that remains is coming from further down the joint: the clamp band, the arm tube surface it grips, or the structure the assembly mounts to. A shaft fault shows up as a lift or drop at the lock itself, while a clamp fault usually shows as the arm twisting about its own axis with the lock feeling perfectly solid.

Do I need to replace all of them at once, or just the bad one?

Just the bad one will get you flying today, and there is no reason not to do that at the field edge. For planned service, do them all. Every lock on the aircraft has taken the same fold cycles, the same chemical exposure, and the same handling, so one that has failed is a fair report on the rest. Doing the set during pre-season work also gives every handle the same feel, which is what makes the odd one out obvious later.

How do I tell a bent shaft from a worn one?

Roll it slowly on a flat, clean bench. A bent shaft rocks or clicks as it goes and will not track straight. Wear shows differently: a bright polished band or a flat spot on the barrel where it bears in the seat, and thread flanks inside the cross-bore that look rounded rather than sharp under a light. Bent gives you a lock that binds and will not reach full travel. Worn gives you a lock that closes easily and holds nothing.
