Log Locks: Designed for Precision & Safety
Lock It Down: A Better Way to Build with Logs
If you’ve ever tried cutting tenons, tapering, or peeling bark off a log that just won’t sit still - you know how frustrating that can be. It’s hard to get clean, accurate cuts when your material moves around. That’s exactly why we created the Log Lock™ lineup: a simple, super solid way to hold your logs steady so you can work with more confidence and control.
Whether you're crafting chairs, benches, beds, or any kind of rustic log furniture, a secure log makes all the difference. No more wrestling with clamps, guessing with straps, or hoping gravity does the job.
🧰 Meet the Log Lock ™ Family
We've got four versions to cover every kind of log furniture builder - from the occasional weekend woodworker to the full-time pro in a high-output shop.

🪵 Log Lock ™ Heavy Duty

✅ ACME threads + heavy-duty frame = long life
✅ Great for commercial or production setups
🔩 What Makes the Heavy Duty Versions Special?
It's all in the threading:
- Standard models use ½” - 13 UNF threading (fine thread) - great for 80% of builders
- Heavy Duty models use ½” - 10 ACME threading - stronger, smoother, more durable
- ACME threads are wider and shaped like a trapezoid, which helps resist stripping and wear under pressure
- Built to last - and faster to use - Having the wider ACME threads also means you don't have to spin the handle as many times to lock in your log. It tightens quicker and with less effort - super handy when you’re cutting a bunch of tenons and flipping logs all day. In a world where everyone’s short on time, a faster workflow just makes sense.
Whether you're cranking down hard on a heavy log or adjusting dozens of times a day, the Heavy Duty models are built to keep up.
