Hi Mariangeles,
I have the Bowflex SelectTech Dumbells too...the ones that go from 5-52.5 lbs/dumbell. When you say that the locking mechanism fails, do you mean the dumbell gets stuck in the holding rack or that one or more plates don't stay on the dumbell when you lift it out of the rack?
The plates should automatically stay attached when you lift it out. If not, the dumbell is defective and send it back. Make sure first that the plates are all in the correct position and sitting squarely in the rack, if not, the plates won't engage on the dumbell. Once you set it up correctly (unless its broken), it should work fine. Occassionally, a dumbell seems to get stuck in the rack but it is only because the weight you have selected on the rotor is not perfectly alligned with the indented arrow at the top center of the dumbell...jiggle a little until the dumbell lifts out, if this is the problem.
Post back if this is not the problem and specify exactly what the problem is and maybe I can help further.
