Locking Profiles - Individual Components

Aluminium Locking Profiles & Wiggle Wire (Individual Components)

Our high-quality Aluminium Lock Channel is the first part of our two-piece "wiggle wire" locking system, designed to hold your greenhouse or polytunnel covers firmly and evenly. Sold as individual components, this is the professional's choice for a fast, secure, and long-lasting installation, allowing you to buy exactly what you need for your project.

Best For

✔ Growers and farmers who need a durable, professional cover-attachment method
✔ DIY builders who want a secure and reliable solution for their structures
✔ Anyone needing to replace specific components or add to an existing system

Available Components

• Channels: Available in pre-cut lengths to suit your project needs.
  • 2.4m Channel
  • 3m Channel
  • 4m Channel
• Wiggle Wire: The second part of the system, this spring wire provides the secure lock.
• Channel Connectors: Join channels seamlessly for a clean, continuous finish.

How the 2-Part System Works

This system provides a professional, continuous grip along the entire length of your fabric without piercing it. This prevents punctures, rips, and premature tearing, which is the primary cause of failure with simpler attachment methods.

1. Screw the Lock Channel to your greenhouse or polytunnel frame.
2. Lay your cover material over the channel.
3. Simply "wiggle" the spring wire into the channel over the top of the cover for a secure, professional lock.

Key Features

• Professional, Continuous Grip: Provides a secure hold that eliminates weak spots between screws or battens, ensuring your cover stays in place even in high winds.
• Protects Your Covers: Locks valuable covers in place without piercing them, preventing punctures and tears.
• Durable Construction: Made from high-grade, rust-proof aluminium for maximum longevity in demanding greenhouse environments.
• Highly Versatile: Securely holds a wide range of materials, including single or multiple layers of greenhouse plastic, shade cloth, and netting.

Technical Specifications

• Material: High-Grade Extruded Aluminium
• Compatibility: Designed for use with standard greenhouse wiggle wire.
• Installation: Easily fastens to steel or timber with self-tapping screws (not included).

Ideal Applications

• Securing the main cover on polytunnels and greenhouses.
• Creating professional roll-up side walls, vents, and end walls.
• Attaching shade cloth or thermal screens inside or outside your structure.
• Fastening black and white panda film to the internal walls of grow rooms.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
