Hexlox Thru Axle - Custom Size

How it works:

After you purchase the axle, our friendly support team will contact you by email to customize the axle according to your specifications. This is an individual process, so be prepared to answer a few questions about your specific requirements.

Swap your current quick-release axle for our Hexlox custom-size axle. The magnetic stainless steel head is locked with a 6 mm Hexlox insert and blocks typical theft tools like Allen keys.

The complete Hexlox system – insert, key, and matching key code – reliably protects your bike and custom setup.

Note: Please remember to order the Hexlox 6 mm insert and Hexlox key if you don’t already have them.

Answer: The minimum length is 114 mm and the maximum length is 145 mm

Question: How do the Hexlox key code, the Hexlox key and the Hexlox insert work together?

Answer: The Hexlox key and the Hexlox insert – if they have the same code – form a solid mechanical connection.

The shape of the key matches the shape of the insert exactly – but only if they have the same 3-digit code. Different key codes mean that the keys and inserts have slightly different shapes.

That's why we call the Hexlox key a "key," because it essentially works the same way as your front door key. If you take a close look at another Hexlox key with a different code, you'll notice that the tip of the key looks a little different—not much, but it's noticeable.

All Hexlox keys and Hexlox inserts in an order will be shipped with the same key code.

Question: Is the Hexlox System safe?

Answer: Using the Hexlox system significantly increases your theft protection.

There is no lock in the world that is 100% secure – not against a thief who has enough time, motivation, and the right tools. That's the reality when it comes to security – especially with bicycles and bicycle parts.

Most thefts of bicycle parts happen spontaneously. Someone walks by a bike, sees that a saddle or wheel isn't properly secured, and grabs it. Then, of course, there are the well-organized professionals with a real plan—systematic and prepared. All lock manufacturers, including us at Hexlox, develop products specifically designed to help combat these spontaneous opportunistic thieves.

Hexlox is an anti-theft system specifically designed for bicycle components—wheels, seatposts, saddles, and other parts secured with standard Allen screws. Our solution is simple yet effective: a small magnetic insert that blocks access to the screw. Without the appropriate key, it's almost impossible to reach.

We always recommend combining Hexlox with a solid frame lock and securing your bike to something solid, like a lamppost or bike rack. Security works in layers—a single solution is never enough.
