1. A method of tricuspid valve repair comprising:
anchoring a first ventricular surface anchor against a first right ventricular surface, wherein the first ventricular surface anchor is connected to a first tension member;
anchoring a first tension anchor against a first tension anchor surface of a heart, wherein the first tension anchor is connected to a second tension member;
anchoring a second tension anchor to a second tension anchor surface of the heart, wherein the second tension anchor is connected to a third tension member;
extending the first tension member connected to the first ventricular surface anchor towards the second tension member connected to the first tension anchor;
extending the third tension member connected to the second tension anchor towards the first tension member connected to the first ventricular surface anchor; and
with the first tension member, the second tension member, and the third tension member, drawing the first right ventricular surface toward the first tension anchor;
wherein the third tension member is connected to the first tension member and the second tension member via a tension member lock.
