Hey all! I'm building a desk and really need full extension drawer slides that allow locking at any position, not just at set intervals. I've found some locking options, but they only lock when fully open or halfway, which doesn't work for me. Does anyone know a product or manufacturer that offers this feature? I'm feeling pretty stuck here!

You might want to consider creating a custom locking mechanism separately from the slides. It could give you the flexibility you're looking for, especially if you're in a bind for time.
It seems there isn't an off-the-shelf option for what you need. What's your project about? You could potentially use a cammed quick release mechanism like those found in bikes, or maybe even some holes with a through pin for adjustment, similar to adjustable shelves. Or, if it helps, a quick clamp could work on the slides whenever you need to lock them in place!
I'm actually making a keyboard drawer and I want to place my laptops behind it, so I need to be able to lock it in place while I use the keyboard!
Yeah, I get that, but I really want to finish my project quickly.
