NOTE: 

Only turn the adjustment bolt in small increments 

(e.g. an 1/8 turn) each time, otherwise it could result 

in too much constriction and/or movement.   

NOTE: 

Before you can adjust the adjustment bolt, loosen 
and remove the safety screw. 

  

Version B

Tools Needed: 

• 6mm Allen key • 2.5mm Allen key

Do not put too much force on 

the adjustment bolt. 

Tightening the adjustment bolt too much could result 

in damage to the meshing mechanism, which will 

eventually affect the functionality of the LockJaw and 

your safety

Do not over-loosen 

the adjustment bolt. 

If it is too loose, the LockJaw hinge will not close 

securely, which will result in a loose join.

To tighten the adjustment bolt, turn it 

clockwise when looking at the bolt

head-on.

To loosen the adjustment bolt, turn it 

counter-clockwise when looking at the 

bolt head-on.

Adjust the Adjustment Bolt 

while the frame is closed.

Checking for the correct tension of the 

LockJaw, close and open the OC bolt. 

If the OC bolt closes with a slight “click” 

at the end, the tension is just right.
