Disklok Troubleshooting Guide

Possible Causes:

• Lock mechanism is dry or dirty

• Key inserted upside down

• Excess pressure applied while turning

Fix:

• Ensure you’re using the correct key and that it’s inserted fully.

• Do not force the key if there’s resistance.

• Apply a small amount of graphite lock lubricant (not oil) into the keyhole.

• Gently wiggle the key up/down while turning.

❗ Avoid WD-40 or oil-based lubricants — these can gum up the mechanism over time.

Possible Causes:

• Lock is under pressure due to tight fit on the wheel

• Internal components need lubrication

Fix:

• Gently tap the outer case of the Disklok near the lock with your palm to release pressure.

• Try turning the steering wheel slightly left or right before unlocking.

• Apply graphite lubricant and try again.

Diskloks are fitted with a tension spring that holds the locking arms closed snugly over your wheel.

If Too Tight:

• This can occur in colder temperatures or if the spring is stiff from lack of use.

• Open and close the Disklok a few times off the wheel to “loosen” the spring.

• A small application of silicone spray to the hinge area can help.

If Too Loose:

• Ensure the Disklok is the correct size for your wheel (Small, Medium, Large).

• A too-loose spring may indicate wear and may need servicing or part replacement.

Fix:

• Make sure the two halves are aligned evenly before closing.

• Check that no debris or fabric (e.g. steering wheel cover) is caught between the Disklok and wheel.

• Press both sides evenly until it clicks shut.

If your Disklok arrived incomplete or you’ve lost your key:

• Contact our support team immediately.

• Provide your key code (usually found on the spare tag included with your keys).

• For security, we can only issue replacement keys for verified purchases.
