Haha, yeah I guess I should have read farther down the thread before smashing reply. Operator error strikes again!
Seriously though, IME if something doesn't work when it's brand new, it usually either operator error or a poorly designed product. OP's situation seems to be a product of both, as it is not common at all to use a key to screw something into place. If the 1UP rack were designed better, its operation would have been intuitive for OP and there would have been nothing to post about.

Yup I agree they should have a guide - I have the wheel locks which are the same design - I also thought it was broken at first until I saw the threads on the pin.

The locks are not at all intuitive.
And they don't fit very well in either receiver I have tried them in.
