HI ALL
trying to design or preferably source a locking mechanism to hold a hinged wheel bracket securely to base when in use.

ideally it should be quick release and also easy to lock in i.e. 'click in' to locked position

any ideas would be very helpful

Hi and welcome....you'll probably want to check out Southco Fasteners....the other guys here will have some other recommendations.

No problem finding a solution here.

Good Luck!!

You could try something magnetic or a ball and socket type thing..

What does the wheel do?

Yeah, I think a magnet is a good idea. What materials/sizes are you talking about? You could also attach a quick release latch that engages when the wheel/arm is horizontal.
