The Lasso does not requite a hole to go through. Maybe there is a SOT model that you were looking at. But the one I use has 2 loops - you put a loop over each end and then wind the cable around stuff (rack, etc.) until it is tight and then lock the two ends together.







But the Alchemy has a lock loop right behind the seat. So I use a standard lock to connect that loop to a short bike lock cable (the type with 2 small loops in it, maybe 2 feet long - often used to lock a wheel to a U Lock). The bike cable is attached to the rack.







Treat that Alchemy as a play boat and scratch the hell out of the bottom (as mine is) and it will be less attractive to thieves.


From a complete roof refurbishment to small works, whether a planned maintenance programme or a reactive repair, you can rely on our guaranteed systems to deliver longevity, peace of mind and cost effectiveness.


In talking to a roofer who has been installing standing seam in a mountain resort town for 25+ years, he doesn't use it. He believes the peel and stick underlayment is good enough. He reports no problems. He recommended I follow the roofing suppliers recommendations....though, at the same time, points out that once I have the panels snapped down, the stickiness of the sealant won't allow the panels to be lifted.


That makes me nervous, being I have never installed this style of roofing before. It seems the sealant would make it even less forgiving of any mistakes I might make, requiring that I lift a panel for some reason.


If he can get away without using the sealant in an area that gets 3,4, and more feet of snow, why wouldn't I be fine in my area that rarely sees 6-8"? Maybe the difference for him is a higher roof pitch. He did not mention that though.


As I recall, you also said you have a pretty long rafter length -- 34'. Yes, the low pitch is a factor. I have sold materials for plenty of snap lock jobs at 2:12 and with fairly long panels. That said, sealant in the female lock is a belt and suspenders approach and not a bad thing. If the contractor wants to do it, I would not turn them down. You are taking liability onto yourself if you refuse it.


SPAN-LOCK SL25 is a structural panel which is mechanically seamed during installation. The panel is an integral interlocking system by design that installs in one direction from a given starting point. SPAN-LOCK is a very flexible panel that works well with a wide range of building designs.


Green-Lock Plus Flashing Adhesive is a trowel grade, cold-applied, zero VOC, 100% polyether moisture-cured flashing adhesive. Green-lock Plus Flashing Adhesive is an ideal cold process adhesive for modified bitumen base sheets and modified bitumen cap sheets because it bonds tenaciously to SBS-modified bitumen membranes.It is used to apply flashings in conjunction with Garland's regular cold-applied or Garland's hot-applied SBS-modified roofing systems.The Green-Lock Plus Flashing Adhesive system consists of a multi-ply flashing application beginning with a base ply of Garland's two-ply base sheets followed by one of Garland's StressPly family of smooth or mineral membranes as cap sheets. The result is a high-performance, solvent-free, multi-ply, modified cold-applied flashing system.


Green-Lock Plus Flashing Adhesive uses polyether technology which contains no solvents. Being solvent-free means no adverse effects typically associated with solvent-based products, including odors, sheet softening, compound damage, solvent blisters, etc. Green-Lock Plus Flashing Adhesive also contains zero VOCs, making it an environmentally friendly option.


Green-Lock Plus Flashing Adhesive is a moisture-cured polymer that reacts with the moisture in the air to become a strong, tough, and resilient rubber. It bonds the flashing system, securely holding it to the wall/flashing and underlying roof system. It also cures much quicker than standard solvent-based adhesives.


Green-Lock Plus Flashing Adhesive will cure in one to five days, depending on climatic conditions, compared to 30 days or more for traditional solvent-based types of cement. Green-Lock Plus Flashing Adhesive becomes tack-free within an hour, so there is less chance of tracking the material, keeping the roof cleaner.

Mechanical seam and snap-lock metal roof profiles are the two most common styles used in residential and commercial standing seam roof systems. However, how much do you know the differences between them? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using mechanical lock vs. snap-lock metal roof profile?


At New Tech Machinery (NTM), we manufacture portable roof panel machines designed to make standing seam panel profiles including both of these popular metal roof panel profile styles. We understand the importance of researching what makes each of these profiles unique, including the pros and cons of each kind of profile so that you can select the best profiles for your machine and projects.


Double lock seams are those that have been folded over twice (or 180 degrees). They are better used for low-slope building applications that may need to be extra weathertight. One consideration to make when using this type of panel is that they are more labor-intensive to install and replace.


When forming snap-lock profiles with a portable rollforming machine, typically it takes more material because of the complexity of the panel legs and the bends required to ensure this panel profile snaps into place securely.


You should also consider how labor-intensive the process will be to install the panels onto the metal roof system and how much time it could take. The panel installation process for snap-lock profiles is relatively straightforward: attach the metal panel to the roof deck using fasteners or clips, and snap the panel seams together. However, with mechanical lock profiles, it requires a hand or electric seamer to bend the panel legs over each other. Not only is this process more time-consuming, but it is generally more expensive.


Both mechanical lock and snap-lock profiles are great options for standing seam metal roofing, but there are certain factors to consider when deciding which one to use or purchase for your portable rollformer.


With over 30 years of manufacturing portable roofing rollformers and equipment, New Tech Machinery knows how important it is to be an educated customer. We strive to provide our customers with educational and informative resources that can help them feel more confident.


T-lock shingles are a type of shingle that was initially made popular in the 1930s and continued being used regularly on houses through much of the 1980s. The shingles bare a T-shaped design that allows them to interlock with each other. Made popular because of their ability to withstand heavy winds, T-lock shingles were the best option for roofing, especially in areas such as Denver, Westminster, and other surrounding communities where high winds are common. They were largely composed of asphalt, making them heavy and sturdy. However, over time, manufacturers cut back on the amount of asphalt used. This rendered the shingles weaker and less likely to withstand the torment of inclement weather. Unfortunately, manufacturing of T-lock shingles ceased altogether in 2004 as better options made them obsolete.


If you are a homeowner that currently has T-lock shingles, reach out to your insurance agent today to confirm what type of coverage you have in place. A quick conversation now can prevent unpleasant surprises down the road. If you are looking to purchase a home with T-lock shingles, your best option may be to negotiate total roof replacement with the seller.


The A1500 metal roof panel is a 1 " high integral snap-lock architectural metal roofing system consisting of an integral narrow batten seam that snaps over a rigid, continuous interlock leg to create a rugged, yet aesthetically pleasing, architectural metal roof panel system.

Clayton & Lambert C-Lock structural standing seam roofing is an ideal product for any new building or addition. Barns, machine sheds, run-in sheds, porches, garages, warehouses, and lean-to sheds are just a few examples of the ways this roofing has been utilized.


Originally designed for the clear-span requirements of our grain bins, this roofing eliminates the need for rafters and purlins, cutting the cost of your construction project. In addition to strength, the 225 degree, 3 inch tall C-Lock flange provides a weather tight seal.


Manufactured from 18, 20, and 26 gauge G90 galvanized steel, C-Lock roofing is suitable for the most demanding environments. Panel widths and thicknesses are matched according to your span and loading requirements. Single panels can be manufactured to lengths of over 40 feet. Should your project require more than 40 feet of panel length, the end of one panel can be slid into the next. In doing this, roof length is unlimited.
