Locking Spring Plunger

[Farmboy71]

I'm looking for a hand retractable spring plunger that locks in both the extended and retracted positions. I've already checked with Southco, Vlier, JW Wincoa and a couple of others. Does anyone know who makes such a thing? Most of the plungers on the market can lock when retracted only.

Thanks!

If it locks in both positions, under what circumstance is the spring of any use?

That would make it a barrel bolt.

Search the web, there are a tonne of suppliers.

You're correct, a barrel bolt would fit the description I initially supplied. In this application I don't really need to lock it when retracted. The spring can hold it retracted.

I did find what I was looking for from United Bushing.

Thanks,
