About the solution
This user from instructables goes by the name of nnewlon. A member of his family has developed some mobility problems leading to the need of using a walker.
Having some issues using the walker provided by the hospital, he started using the "Ultra-Light Rollator", made by Medline which had only one problem: the walker unfolded too easily since there was nothing to keep it folded. This makes the transportation of the walker, while not using it, way harder than it should.
nnewlon created a simple 3D printed catch which locks the walker in the folded position. It is sized so that only a little pressure is need to latch or unlatch it. With a simple design he helped a lot his relative!
