gorell and soft-lite are said to have clean welds; i have seen both. is OKNA cleaner than those welds?
OKNA has an auto lock similar to schuco PAL lock?

Not sure, never really paid that much attention to the welds they blend in nice there real clean.

OKNA has an auto lock similar to schuco PAL lock? NO

[krypton]

the OKNA site mentions "auto lock". i took that to mean an automatic locking systen similar to schuco.

I have never ordered an Autolock on any application from them. Personally...I can't stand them, although Force V does appear to be the best version of that out there.

I don't use them on Schuco (Force V) either after trying them years ago when I first became a dealer. I ended up replacing all the auto-locks with cam locks and I now order them all with the trouble-free cam locks. With the average service call costing me $200-$300 in gas and labor, I can't afford to send guys out several times a week all over Chicagoland to adjust PAL locks so they close properly.
