# How to Release the Locks on Table Extensions on Furniture
Certain types of tables are adjustable. Portable, folding tables feature adjustable-length legs for ease of transport. Some dining tables include a removable section or leaf that extends the width of the table surface. These types of tables can be convenient because you can insert sections if you are expecting extra people for dinner. In order to extend the legs or surface of a table, you must release the locks and make the necessary adjustments.
