Lockable Swivel

A standard swivel chair rotates freely.
With Mekrapid’s patented lockable swivel-function, you can easily lock the chair in the desired direction.

How the function works:

The swivel features an integrated swivel-lock mechanism operated by a button or wire. When activated, the mechanism disengages the lock and allows smooth, full 360° rotation. Once the function is released, the swivel-lock automatically re-engages, securing the chair in a fixed position.

This system provides the flexibility of free rotation when needed, combined with stable, controlled seating when you prefer it.

Benefits of Locking Mechanism:

Increased safety when sitting down and getting up: When the chair doesn’t rotate, it feels easier and safer to use the armrests for support."

Ideal for people with reduced balance: The locked position reduces the risk of unwanted instability and provides extra support.

Easy activation: Lock and unlock with an intuitive control.

For designers – possibilities for form and function

The function is launched in the OnOff Swivel with two different activation solutions: a wire mechanism or button type control.

This gives designers great flexibility to integrate the function into various chair designs and create a unified solution that both looks good and works perfectly.

Recommended Use of the Mechanism

Preferably use Lockable Swivel function for a chair with rotating seat on four symmetric legs.
