Hiplok Z LOK – Orange
The Hiplok Z LOK (ZLK1OR, Orange) is a lockable, reusable security tie with a reinforced steel core – the world's first secured zip tie. The bright orange finish is easy to spot in a bag or a glovebox, so your quick-stop lock is always ready.
Why the Z LOK?
Harder to cut than a zip tie. A reinforced steel insert runs inside the toughened nylon strap, so simple tools such as scissors or a knife do not get through. 
Fastens while it locks. The Lock & Hold ratchet pulls down and locks in one movement, holding items tight. 
Opens with a key, used again. Not a disposable tie: unlock it with the universal key and reuse it. 
40 cm long. Goes round a wheel and fork, a helmet strap or a rack upright. 
Featherweight. Fits in a jersey pocket; the orange colour makes it quick to find. 
Design and Innovation Award 2018. An award-winning idea from Hiplok.
For the two-minute stop
A helmet left on the bars, a wheel that spins free, a bike on the car rack while you grab a coffee: most thefts are opportunistic. A heavy lock for such a short stop feels absurd, so things are often left unsecured. Z LOK gives quick, lightweight protection exactly for these moments.
Car racks and travel
On the way to the trail, lock the wheels to the roof or tow-bar rack, or the bikes to each other, while you take a break.
A partner for your main lock
Let your D lock or chain hold the frame and use Z LOK for the front wheel, the helmet or a bag on the bike.
Who is it for?
- Riders on café rides. Road and gravel riders who do not want to carry a full lock.
- Families on the move. Bikes on the car rack, scooters, buggies and luggage.
- Commuters. A second lock for the helmet, front wheel or bag.
- Winter sports fans. Skis and snowboards outside the hut or café.

Frequently asked questions
How secure is the Hiplok Z LOK?
Its reinforced steel core means it cannot be snipped with scissors or a knife like a normal zip tie. It is made to stop the opportunist thief; for longer stops use a Sold Secure rated D lock or chain as your main lock.
Can I use it more than once?
Yes. Z LOK opens with its key and can be reused as often as you like.
Is it long enough for a wheel?
Yes. The 40 cm locking length goes round a road-bike wheel and fork, a helmet strap or a rack arm. Thread it through the spokes and the fork or frame, then pull it tight before locking.
Can I leave my bike overnight with only a Z LOK?
No. Z LOK is not a replacement for a main lock when leaving your bike for long periods or overnight.
