After testing the Barkan Lockable Tablet Mount for weeks in my café, I can confidently say it's a mixed bag. The lockable silicone-lined clamp is its MVP feature—my iPad Air stays put even during busy hours, and the included keys give peace of mind against theft. The 360° rotation is butter-smooth once mounted, letting me flip between portrait menus and landscape promo videos effortlessly.
BUT... installation was a workout! The joints felt stubbornly stiff out of the box (like trying to bend a frozen pipe cleaner). It loosened up after wall-mounting, but adjusting the rubber guards for my caseless tablet took trial-and-error—the thicker strips made my power button inaccessible until I swapped them.
The articulated arms are fantastic for angling screens toward customers, though I agree with other reviewers: ALWAYS grip the locking bars to reposition. Grabbing the tablet directly feels risky—I accidentally strained the mount when a staff member yanked it sideways. Also, while it technically fits 14" devices, my Galaxy Tab S7+ corners barely cleared the clamp edges.
Final verdict? Ideal for low-traffic businesses needing theft-proof displays (think boutique hotel check-ins), but heavy daily use might reveal durability issues. 7/10 for build quality minus points for finicky setup.
