Lifetimes fold-in-half tables are designed to be set-up easily and simple to use. When the table is folded in half, the side that opens the table will have a groove to give you a place to grip when opening the table. Once opened, simply unfold the table legs as normal, making sure the safety rings fall into place. We have two mechanisms that lock our table into the open position. The first is a red clip that you push to lock into place. This clip keeps your table locked in the open position. The second mechanism we have is an automatic locking system that locks your table in place as you open the table legs. No additional action is needed to open and lock your table.
