How does the leg locking mechanism work on a commercial folding table?

Commercial folding table legs lock via a spring-loaded mechanism that engages when the leg is fully extended to its working position. The most common type is a positive-lock mechanism: as the leg swings from folded (parallel to the table top) to open (perpendicular, working position), the lock engages with a click when the leg reaches full extension. To fold, you press or squeeze a release latch (usually a metal bracket on the leg housing) that disengages the lock, allowing the leg to swing back to the folded position. Always confirm both legs are fully locked before placing weight on the table. A table with a leg that doesn't fully lock is a safety hazard.
