Expert Reply:
I can definitely clarify the functionality of the tightening knob on the EasyFold XT # TH903202. The hitch knob on the rack does lock, but there is no "clicking" sound that notifies you that you've tightened the knob to a proper degree. The knob simply tightens and gets more resistance on the threads as the knob turns. However, there is a keyhole on the knob that locks so that it cannot be removed for theft-deterrence purposes.
