This key is specifically designed for the StrataRise "Hercules" range of heavy-duty pedestals used for decking, pavers, and paving applications.

Can I adjust the height of my deck after the pavers are laid?

How do I increase the height of a pedestal using this key?

Insert the key into the pedestal's adjustment mechanism and turn it clockwise. Make small adjustments and check the level of your surface regularly.

How do I decrease the height of a pedestal?

Insert the key into the pedestal's adjustment mechanism and turn it counter-clockwise. Small, incremental adjustments are recommended.

Is this tool necessary for all StrataRise pedestals?

This specific key (HERC-KEY) is for the StrataRise "Hercules" heavy-duty range. Other StrataRise pedestal models may have different adjustment methods or require different tools.

What should I do if the key gets dirty?

Clean the key with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before storing it to prevent rust or damage.

Can this key be used for outdoor paving stone installations?

Troubleshooting

Key does not fit into the pedestal.

Verify that you are using a StrataRise "Hercules" heavy-duty pedestal. This key is not compatible with other pedestal types.

Pedestal does not adjust height when key is turned.

Ensure the key is fully inserted into the adjustment mechanism. Check for any debris obstructing the mechanism and clean if necessary. The pedestal might be at its maximum or minimum height setting.

Key feels stiff or difficult to turn.

Clean the key and the pedestal's adjustment mechanism. If the issue persists, it may indicate excessive load or a mechanical issue with the pedestal. Try unloading the pedestal slightly before adjusting.
