RFXPLKEYR, Cable Release Key for Push- and Pull-Lock Fittings, 1/8" Cable Only, Installation and Cable-Trimming Process

Designed for 1/8" cables, this convenient and easy-to-use cable release key makes the installation and adjustment process hassle-free.

• For 1/8" Push- and Pull-Locks, a release key is available. The key opens the spring-loaded jaws that grip the cable prior to tensioning.
• The PL-Key is primarily used when you want to remove the cable from the Push-/Pull-Lock during the installation and cable-trimming process.
• Because it opens the spring-loaded jaws, it also helps you insert the cable into the Push-/Pull-Lock if you’re having trouble with that step.
• While the PL-Key is very helpful prior to tensioning the cable, it is not effective once the cable has been tensioned.
• The jaws set into the cable and the Push-/Pull-Lock’s tamperresistant design prevents you (or anyone else) from removing the cable at this point. More importantly, even if you are able to remove tensioned cable from the Push-/PullLock, the fitting’s locking mechanism is spent and cannot be re-used.
• Slide the groove of the PL-Key along the cable until the cable is completely inside the groove. Carefully insert the PL-Key into the Push-/Pull-Lock opening.
• Push down until the key bottoms out. You will feel resistance from the spring-loaded jaws as you do so.
• Now you may safely remove the cable from the Push-/Pull-Lock without damaging the jaw mechanism
• Remove the PL-Key and the jaws will reset to their original position, ready to accept and grip the cable again.
