An auto-lock measuring tape, also known as a self-locking measuring tape, is a type of measuring tape that automatically locks in place once it has been extended to a certain length. This is typically done by a spring-loaded mechanism located within the tape, which engages when the tape is extended and releases when the tape is retracted. Auto-lock measuring tapes allow the user to take measurements with one hand, as they do not require a separate locking mechanism to be engaged. Typically, in order to retract the tape, the user must depress a button or lever close to the tape’s base. This disengages the lock and enables the tape to retract smoothly. Professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike like auto-lock measuring tapes because they are user-friendly and can speed up construction.
