Can a drafting chair be locked to prevent swiveling?

Most standard commercial drafting chairs do not include a swivel-lock feature — 360-degree swivel is a core function of the design. Swivel-lock mechanisms exist on some specialized models used in medical, surgical, or industrial environments where chair rotation could be hazardous. If you need a non-swiveling chair for a specific application, you may be better served by a fixed-base drafting stool without a swivel mechanism. Alternatively, non-rolling glide-based stools naturally limit movement more than caster-based chairs.
