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.
