Product Information
Full details
The Hiplok Z-Lok is an ideal security solution for cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts who need a lightweight, versatile way to secure accessories, helmets, or equipment to car racks and bike frames. By combining the convenience of a zip tie with an armoured, locking core, it offers a quick deterrent against opportunistic theft. While it provides excellent added protection for transit and short stops, it is not intended as a primary high-security lock for unattended bicycles in high-risk areas.

FAQs
Is the Z-Lok suitable for locking my bike to a pole?
No, the Z-Lok is designed as a secondary deterrent for accessories and is not secure enough to lock a bike frame to a stationary object for long periods.
Can I use the Z-Lok on my motorcycle?
While the product is suitable for scooters and bike accessories, it is generally not recommended for the primary security of motorcycles due to their higher value.
Does the Z-Lok come with spare keys?
Yes, it typically includes the keys necessary to operate the locking mechanism.
Can I replace the key if I lose it?
It is recommended to store your keys in a safe place. Replacement keys may be hard to source, so keeping a spare in a safe location is advised.
How long is the Z-Lok?
The Z-Lok is 400 mm in length.
Is the material weather-resistant?
Yes, the Z-Lok is constructed to withstand outdoor environments and is ideal for transport and storage.
Troubleshooting
The lock feels stiff or difficult to turn with the key.
Clear any debris from the keyhole and ensure the key is fully inserted before turning.
The zip tie will not tighten or lock.
Check that the locking mechanism is in the 'unlocked' position before attempting to adjust the strap length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

It is compatible with most bicycle frames and car racks. To maintain the device, occasionally wipe the housing with a damp cloth to remove grit or debris from the locking mechanism. Ensure the keyway is kept clear of heavy dirt to prevent potential sticking.
