The Pull-Lock® is a concealed, swageless, non-tensioning, through-the-post-mounted fitting that is suitable for use on level or pitched runs, and is available for 1/8” and 3/16” diameter 1x19 stainless steel cable.

This fitting is very much like the Push-Lock®, except the cable passes through the Pull-Lock®, meaning you can just cut the excess cable where it exits the fitting – no need to measure the cable before cutting. For that reason, it is the more popular of the two.

FOR METAL POSTS
The Pull-Lock® must be used with a tensioning fitting on the opposite end of the run. This fitting is installed into a pre-drilled hole in the end post. Using the Pull-Lock® fitting on level or pitched runs requires enough clearance on the back side of the end post to install the fitting through the back side of the post. That amount of clearance depends on the length of Pull-Lock® chosen. This fitting is furnished with a Delrin® washer that is installed between the shoulder of the fitting and the end post to protect the surface of the finish of the end post as tension is applied. The cable attaches to the fitting via our Push-Lock® locking wedge system which requires no special tools.

The Pull-Lock® can be used on a pitched run in a hole drilled horizontally through the end post. The cable will exit the fitting at an angle. To properly use this fitting on a pitch, it is recommended that you choose a Pull-Lock® that is the same length as the cross section of your end post.



FOR WOOD POSTS
The Pull-Lock® must be used with a tensioning fitting on the opposite end of the run. This fitting is installed into a pre-drilled hole in the end post. Using the Pull-Lock® fitting on level or pitched runs requires that a minimum of 1-1/2” of clearance exists on the back side of the end post (to install the fitting and pull the cable through). It is also recommended that a stainless steel flat washer be installed between the shoulder of the fitting and the mating surface of the wood post. The cable attaches to the fitting via our Push-Lock® locking wedge system which requires no special tools.

You can use this fitting on a pitched application, using the same horizontally drilled method for 4x4 wood posts, by installing a post protector tube into the face of the post where the cable exits at an angle (the post protector tube protects the face of the post from abrasion and furrowing as the cable is tensioned).
