Product Information

Full details

Designed for owners of Pitlock security hardware, these M5 spring washers are essential maintenance components for anyone looking to ensure their bicycle security system remains tight, secure, and fully operational. These high-quality, German-engineered washers provide the necessary tension to keep your components locked firmly in place, though they should be treated as consumable items that require periodic inspection and occasional replacement to prevent vibration-induced loosening.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these washers compatible with M6 Pitlock systems?

No, these are specifically designed for M5 systems only.

How often should I replace these washers?

You should inspect them during every major bicycle tune-up or whenever the security nut is removed for maintenance.

Does the pack include 5 individual washers?

Yes, each purchase includes 5 units.

Do I need a special tool to install these?

No, you only need the specific Pitlock key required to remove your existing security nut.

Can I reuse the old washers?

Once a spring washer has been fully compressed for a long period, it loses its spring action and should be replaced with a new unit for optimal security.

Troubleshooting

Locking nut feels loose after installation

Ensure the spring washer is seated correctly against the washer surface and not pinched under the nut.

Washer appears flattened

This is normal wear for a consumable part; replace the unit immediately to maintain proper locking tension.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures consistent tension on security hardware
  • German engineering for high build quality
  • Convenient 5-piece pack for multiple maintenance cycles
  • Perfect compatibility with all M5 Pitlock systems

Cons

  • Consumable part requiring occasional inspection
  • Not intended for non-M5 specified security systems
  • Replacement requires partial disassembly of the lock

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To replace your M5 spring washers, start by using your unique Pitlock key to unlock and remove the existing security nut. Carefully remove the old washer, noting the orientation, and place the new washer onto the bolt stud. Reinstall the security nut and tighten it according to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.

These washers are strictly compatible with M5-sized Pitlock components; do not attempt to use them on M6 or larger security systems as they will not fit correctly and may lead to hardware damage. To care for these parts, avoid applying heavy lubricants directly to the washer surface, as this can attract grit and debris, which may accelerate wear on the metal surfaces.
