Almost a must have product

Jim M. - 26th August 2010

Great product. On my hdmi inputs just putting the holding bracket on made the hdmi connection so much more secure I probably did not need to put the cable head holder/set screw piece on.

Easy to install. I used original equipment screws for most of my equipment. Worked fine and did not want to worry about service/warranty issues if I didn't have the oem screws in the unit.

Only issue is my ps3 slim. Plastic housing makes it so even using double sided industrial tape would not work. The hdmi input sits in a little valley and there is not enough room for the adapter. My ps3 slim hdmi input is solid and it is not one of the problematic ports. So not a big deal.

For my TV, Denon 3808, Pioneer DVD player, all works perfectly. While I did not intend to do so to test anything I did end up grabbing the hdmi cable which then moved the Pioneer DVD player. And as their video shows, I picked up the DVD player and the cable stayed secure.

My primary concern for which I purchased this product is how falling out hdmi cables put stress on hdmi inputs. Stress that exceeds the design capacity of these ports. I do not want damage done to my components. This product fixes that concern perfectly.

My big screen TV requires all cables to be attached and then put the display in its place in my entertainment center. I am forever having to put cable back and try to put it in place carefully. Not so now!

Great product. Designed well. Probably don't need the shortest allen head set screws however.

Does the job

These really work, however I have to say that I had a really hard time getting hold off these in the UK and I can't get over that there is no distribution.

The product has stopped the HDMI cable falling out of the back of the computer, which was causing several support calls.

When I told facilities they said-can you not just get a cable that doesn't fall out? Three weeks later I sorted it thanks to EZ lock.

HD EZ Lock HDMI adapters

Craig - 08th July 2010

These work great and are easy to install!!

Didn't fit

Ron Kator - 08th July 2010

I bought two sets of these and they were much too bulky to fit in the area in back of the tv that I needed them to fit it.

Does what it does well

Scott Haslip - 25th June 2010

Worked well, instructions could have been printed bigger, and with bigger pics and thus been much easier to follow. Do we really need to to save a penny or two there? Otherwise, great product.

It works as advertised.

Paki Reid-Brossard - 23rd June 2010

Due to the small parts involved, putting the hd EZ lock in place can be a bit challenging to assemble, but it does what it is designed to do and generally seems to be well-constructed.

GREAT Product

Craig J - 15th June 2010

I don't know what the folks that invented the HDMI cable standards were thinking by creating a connection that is by default so unstable and loose. They could have easily came up with a better connection standard.

But this hassle is COMPLETELY eliminated by BlueEcho with their hd EZ lock system.

I did some research and there's nothing else close out there. They've even lowered their prices recently, so a great deal is now even better (still, I would have paid almost twice what I did for the peace of mind these nifty little connectors provide).

I had to read the instructions more than once to "get" exactly how they connect, as they offer multiple options depending on your type of equipment. Just take your time when installing them.

Do yourself a favor and stop reading reviews and just order the sets you need. I assure you that you'll be glad you did!

Outstanding!

Tim - 29th May 2010

I bought three sets of these for my Pioneer Kuro, Oppo, and my HD cable box. Too many times the cable has come loose from my Kuro (which hangs down). I had even tried velcro cable ties to try to take the tension off without much success.

And if any of you have an 8300HDC cable box, you know unplugging the power is sometimes a weekly occurrence just to reset the box. Not easy to do when installed in a cabinet without knocking the HDMI loose also.

hd EZ lock is great. The installation was fairly easy. Had I have taken everything out of my cabinet, it would have been a piece of cake, but I didn't want to drag all of that out.

All of my components had the screw above the HDMI socket, so method one in the very detailed instructions is what I used for everything.

One thing I recommend during install is if you are working in tight places, like I was with everything still in the cabinet, lightly screw in the set screw into the main body before sliding the cable through and plugging the cable in. If you don't, and you are in a cramped space, getting that set screw in after can be a real pain.

The product is excellent - no more tension on the cables or sockets and no more cables jarring loose. If I get more components, I will definitely be ordering more of these.

EZ lock fastners

Mark Donegan - 27th May 2010

The EZ lock fastners did a very good job of making secure connnections of four hdmi cables to back our our flat screen tv. Before using the EZ lock the connections were loose.

Problem solver

Alan Brimm UK - 14th May 2010

The Van de Hul HDMI cables that I use to connect my Denon equipment perform very well. The only problem was they have no ability to stay connected once plugged in. Denon Bluray Players have a tendency to mount there HDMI connectors upside down which make a loose connection even worse. The hd EZ lock has completely solved this problem, simple, clever and cheap. Thank you EZ lock

Good Product - Solved Problem

Ken - 13th May 2010

This is a good product which does what it is advertised to do. Instructions are ok (slightly small and hard to read), and the product installed ok. The screws supplied did not fit the hole in my Receiver, but the one already there worked ok. End result: HDMI cables held firmly in place and signal is good and steady. Attention to customer (even for a low priced product like this one) is unusual and very much appreciated.

EZ locks and extra heavy cables

A Sony Devices User - 22nd April 2010

I could not get my HDMI cables to maintain good connections with my Sony receiver, whcih I think has mediocre HDMI slots. I am using heavy, in wall rated cables - which are over kill but what Monoprice had in stock. With the EZ locks in place the signals instantly stayed intact - at first. Lately, they have dropped out intermittently - but again, only with the receiver. I suspect that the sheathing on the cables is stiff enough and heavy enough to deform the EZ locks slightly so that they can not hold a firm connection - but only with the Sony receiver.

hd EZ lock Rocks!

Danny Thresh - 25th February 2010

Needed an Hdmi lock for a heavy, long projector cable run and EZ lock works just as described. Fantastic, solid and easy to use. Ordered more to use side by side on a receiver for all my inputs and outputs and all other components for a reliable safe and secure worry free connection.

HD EZ Locks

Chris Murphy - 25th February 2010

I have started using these in my client installations after incorporating them into my personal systems. If you are going to use any heavier gauge HDMI cable (even Best Buys!), you are highly advised to utilize these for all you HDMI connections. However technically wonderful HDMI is, the format is very flawed mechanically, offering a poor methodology of linking cable to device. I might even consider running HDMI in-wall after utilizing the EZ Locks!

Good Dealer

Great services. Fast service and reliable. Expect for next deal.

Hd EZ Lock

Phil - 17th February 2010

HD EZ lock is everything it claims to do. Keep your HDMI in place so it doesn't fall or damage the port. Personally I believe that the HDMI cords are built with a major flaw. I have destroyed one of the port in my plasma because of this. Protect your hardware.

HDMI EZ lock

Alison T - 17th February 2010

Really innovative product that helps with heavy hdmi cables pulling (or in my case actually damaging) the HDMI connectors on the receiver. I'd say 5 stars but I'd like to see an even stronger version: these ones still flex a bit more than I'd like under moderate lateral pressure. that said, they're working very well and the heavy cables are pretty firmly attached.

Excellent Product

k - 08th February 2010

the hd EZ lock was dispatched the same day I made the order, instructions were clear, installation was simple and the product did exactly what I wanted it to

Works as advertised!

SamS - 20th January 2010

I used this with a heavy-duty CL2-rated inwall HMDI cable that is very heavy. It caused much sagging on my old receiver. Used the hd EZ lock on the back of my Denon AVP-A1HDCI. Installation was straight-forward, and the EZ lock supports the cable much better than nothing at all. You actually get two in the package, so you could put one on each end of the cable. Fair price, works as advertised.

Great idea

Don - 30th December 2009

It was a bit of a hassle to install because my Sony TV with two HDMI inputs have the inputs recessed and it was difficult to tighten the set screw as it was a tight fit but I finally got them tightened and the connectors are now rock solid.

Perfection does exist!

Randy N - 18th December 2009

After hooking up my new blu-ray player I noticed that my tv was blinking every now and then. Or sometimes got a message that the signal it received was not compatible so the tv did not know how to process the signal. At first I thought my cable was broken or something, but I quickly found out that hdmi cables can come loose because of the weight or it's vertical position. After searching a bit more I came across this product. While reading the reviews it came clear to me that this is the product I was searching for. This morning I installed the EZ Locks and my oh my I was jumping up and down of joy because now my cables are locked! Turned on the blu-ray/tv and saw no more blinking pictures or signal errors messages :) Blue Echo you have a product that is perfect, really!

Great product

geoffrsc - 17th December 2009

Works as advertised. Used on a Sony BluRay multi-changer. My long, heavy hdmi cable kept loosening up. This solved the problem. Installation was about a 5 minute job and I am not particularly handy.

Works like advertised

Mike - 13th December 2009

- Installed very easy.
- Came with lots of instructions.
- No more black screens.
- Very happy.

as promised

m johnson - 05th December 2009

just don't loose the allen wrench when it is time to remove the locks

Works Great!

JG - 04th December 2009

Easy to install, easy complete instructions. Highly recommend these!

These things rock!

Tom - 04th December 2009

OK, so I was a bit sceptical about using the hd EZ lock. I've tried so-called "locking HDMI cables" before, and quite frankly, they didn't do much, nor did they lock very well.

As a home theater installer, I put in a LOT of HDMI cables. Most work great, most of the time. But sometimes, there are circumstances that conspire to create an unfriendly environment for the HDMI cables. For instance:
- Certain receivers have their HDMI ports oriented vertically (yes, you, Yamaha), making the cables very susceptible to falling out, or at least coming loose
- Environments where there is a lot of moving of a component (for example, a flay screen on an articulating mount)
- Very tight quarters, where there is a lot of strain on the HDMI cable
- Situations where an HDMI cable is very long (and therefore very heavy), thus putting more strain on it
For all of these environments, the hd EZ lock works great!

Using these locks has now saved me numerous customer calls. I now ALWAYS use them whenever I put in a projector, and whenever things may move around a bit after installation.

Thanks, Blue Echo, for a simple, yet well-engineered solution!

J. Quan - 04th December 2009

I'm glad someone finally invented locks for the HDMI cables at an affordable price!
I damaged my HDMI output due to heavy cables. Once repaired, I made sure I ordered a pair of these. I wish I knew about these before my repair.

Great Product

FT - 03rd December 2009

This completely solved my issue of having a loose hdmi connection in my cable box.
Quick delivery and very easy to install.

Thanks

good product

tom g - 04th November 2009

i received them very quickly after placing my order. the instructions were good but i found it easier to take my unit out of the rack and connect them to the receiver. it was much easier that way. once connected they are very secure. i'm sure i will not have a problem with the cables coming loose.

Wish I had found sooner

Bill - 29th October 2009

Lost an HDMI input due to cable stress. Easy to install and seem very effective. Wish I had found sooner, or better yet supplied by the manufacturer of the electronics.
