Product Information
Full details
The Hiplok Z-Lok is designed for cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts who need a lightweight, versatile security solution for quick stops and accessory safeguarding. It provides the convenience of a zip-style tie with an armoured core to deter opportunistic theft, making it perfect for securing helmets, gear on car racks, or bikes during short-duration coffee stops. However, due to its slim profile, it should be considered a deterrent rather than a heavy-duty solution for long-term storage in high-theft areas.

FAQs
Is the Z-Lok a full replacement for a D-lock?
No, it is intended as an additional security measure or for short-duration stops, not for leaving a bike unattended for long periods in high-risk locations.
Can I reuse the Z-Lok indefinitely?
Yes, it is designed to be fully reusable. Simply unlock it with the key to disengage and use it again.
What is the length of the tie?
The tie has a total length of 400mm.
Does it come with spare keys?
Yes, it typically includes the necessary keys for operation. It is recommended to store the spare in a safe location.
Can it be used on motorcycles?
It is not recommended for motorcycles; it is designed primarily for bicycles, scooters, and light accessories.
Troubleshooting
The tie is stuck and will not release
Ensure the key is fully inserted and turned completely. If dirt is present, use a small amount of lubricant in the keyway to loosen the mechanism.
The tie does not zip smoothly
Check the track of the tie for debris or damage. Clean the surface with a damp cloth and ensure it is free from grit.
Pros and Cons

- Highly flexible for awkward-shaped items

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the Z-Lok is straightforward. To engage, simply feed the tail into the locking head until it reaches the desired tightness. Because it acts like a zip tie, there is no need to fumble with keys during the locking process. To release, insert the provided key into the lock housing. For maintenance, keep the keyway clean from grit and road grime to ensure the locking pins move freely. If the lock is used in wet or muddy conditions, a quick wipe with a dry cloth will prevent debris from entering the housing.
