FAQs about Our Barbell Locks  

Before you start your strength training, check out these useful answers to guide your purchase. 

How do I Choose the Right Barbell Collars? 

There are a few factors that matter when selecting the right barbell for your needs, including:

• Barbell specifications: Ensure the collar is compatible with the bar’s sleeve diameter. 

• Training style: Heavier weights require stronger locks, and quick-release mechanisms are better for frequent weight changes.

• Durability: Choose materials like nylon resin or aluminium for long-term performance.

• Storage: Magnetic collars can be stored directly on racks.

From the Factory Weights range, we recommend:

• Quick Lock Barbell Collars Clips for everyday training

• Olympic Barbell Spring Collars for a budget-friendly option

• Magnetic Aluminium Olympic Barbell Collars for convenience and versatility

• Pro Mag Weight Bar Clips for premium performance

• Calibrated Competition Collars for advanced lifters and competitions

How Do You Use Barbell Collars?

Using barbell collars typically requires sliding the collar onto the bar after you attach the weights, then using the specific locking mechanism:

• Spring collar: Squeeze the handles to expand the collar, slide it onto the barbell sleeve, and release the handles.

• Clip collar: Push the lever until the collar locks in place.

• Calibrated competition collar: Rotate the lever handle to tighten the sleeve.

What Maintenance Do Barbell Collars Need? 

Barbell collars are low-maintenance, but a few easy practices which increase their longevity include:  

• Cleaning to prevent salt buildup from sweat 

• Keeping them dry to prevent corrosion 

• Handling with care to avoid dropping

• Avoiding over-tightening, which causes damage 

• Storing properly
