Choose How The Blade Holds
2 tools supplied. The 25 ft / 7.5 m 1-inch blade holds on extension. Press the AutoLock button for controlled retraction.

LX-205X2 supplies 2 LX-205 AutoLock tapes, each with a 25 ft / 7.5 m, 1 inch blade. Read imperial and metric scales on either blade face and use each tool independently.
2 tools supplied. The 25 ft / 7.5 m 1-inch blade holds on extension. Press the AutoLock button for controlled retraction.

The 1 inch nylon-coated steel blade has white and yellow matte scale faces. Printed fractional markings help you read inches, while the reverse side also carries metric graduations.

2 25 ft / 7.5 m AutoLock tape measures, each with a belt clip and wrist strap.

Choose the tape length and locking mechanism for the space you need to measure. Both sides of the blade have markings.
| Job or requirement | Works | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Furniture and household layout | Yes, within tape length | Measure spans up to 25 ft / 7.5 m; select imperial or metric markings. |
| Inside and outside dimensions | Yes | The movable true-zero hook is intended for push and pull measurements. |
| Measuring from either blade face | Yes | Use the multi-catch hook and read the units printed on that face. |
| Framing layout | Yes, as a layout aid | 16-inch center markings are references; confirm the plans and material dimensions. |
| Long unsupported or vertical spans | No guaranteed reach | Support the blade as needed; full tape length does not establish standout. |
| Laser distance readings | No | These are mechanical tapes. LX-201 combines a laser meter with a shorter tape. |
Yes. AutoLock holds the 25 ft / 7.5 m blade when you extend it. You can pull more blade out without pressing the release button.
Its 25 ft / 7.5 m range suits contact measurements within that span. Check your longest dimension and read the intended imperial or metric face before transferring a mark.
No. LX-205 is still rated as a 25 ft / 7.5 m tape; the AutoLock mechanism changes how the blade is held, not the marked measuring length.
Use the hook with either side of the blade. Turning the blade exposes the other scale face, so check its units before marking the workpiece.
Yes. The movable hook supports the inside push position as well as an outside pull position. Automatic blade holding is separate from the hook's zero compensation.
An 8-foot unsupported span is not guaranteed. The 25-foot label describes total scale range; support the blade for long or vertical contact measurements.
Use the AutoLock push button. Unlike LX-206, LX-205 does not use a sliding thumb lock and separate bottom speed brake.
Press the AutoLock button to retract smoothly, and control the blade as it withdraws. Use the button for slow withdrawal.
The yellow blade face includes metric and imperial markings. The white side emphasizes feet, inches and fractions; a front-face view alone is not the whole unit inventory.
The two-sided blade has fractional graphics. Read the printed labels and tick marks for the required inch reading; no finer numerical accuracy tolerance is verified.
The coating is described as helping resist rust and corrosion on the steel blade. It is not a guarantee of corrosion-free service or an assembled-tool waterproof rating.
No. LX-205 has a 1-inch-wide, 25 ft / 7.5 m blade; LX-200 has a 3/4-inch-wide, 10 ft / 3 m blade.
LX-205X2 supplies 2 tapes; LX-205 supplies one. Each pack member uses the same base-model blade length, width and locking mechanism.
The LX-205X2, LX-205X3 and LX-205X4 options are two-, three- and four-packs of this AutoLock model. LX-204 instead combines AutoLock with DuaLock.
2 25 ft / 7.5 m AutoLock tape measures, each with a belt clip and wrist strap.
Yes. This pack supplies 2 copies of the same LX-205 tape model.
The tool is pictured with its original clip. A fit or modification procedure is not verified, so check your pouch dimensions and contact Lexivon instead of assuming modification preserves coverage.
Lifetime coverage when you register online within 90 days of purchase; 12 months standard without registration. That eligibility covers defects, not normal mechanism wear, misuse or alterations. Commercial coverage is 12 months without extension; industrial use is excluded.
It is a movable true-zero hook for inside and outside measurements. Intended movement alone does not establish damage; contact Lexivon about a bent hook or loose assembly.
For LX-205, press the release button and let the blade withdraw under control. Retract slowly rather than allowing uncontrolled spring return.
Check that you are using the correct lock control. If the blade still slips, stop relying on the held reading and contact Lexivon.
Stop relying on readings from a damaged blade and contact Lexivon about next steps. Do not assume straightening a damaged blade restores measurement accuracy.
Cross-brand replacement fit is not verified. Ask Lexivon for confirmed parts; the policy excludes damage from non-original parts and tool modifications.
No. Warranty coverage excludes normal wear and tear, accidents, misuse, modifications and damage from non-original parts. Warranty resolution for covered defects is at Lexivon's discretion and coverage is not transferable.
