2x Balancing Keys in the exact size you select.
Compact, ergonomic design — perfect for tight, confined spaces behind radiator pipes.
Supplied in vibrant, high-visibility colors (typically Orange, Yellow, Green, or White depending on active production). Need a specific color? Send a message with your order!
Because lockshield valves vary wildly across different radiator brands, you MUST measure your valve stem before purchasing.
Measure "Across Flats" (AF): Take a precise measurement of the flat tab or square/rectangular stem width on your valve stem.
Check the Diameter: Ensure you note the spindle shape and dimensions.
Select Your Size: Choose the matching measurement from the drop-down menu.
Need a custom size? If your exact dimensions aren't listed, contact us directly! We can custom-print virtually any size required.
💡 Sending a photo? Photos can only help if you place a ruler/measuring tape directly across the valve stem, shot straight from above and fully in focus.
Square vs. Rectangular: Double-check your shape! A square key will only fit a square stem.
Tight Clearances: Standard keys feature a 50mm lug span. A compact 30mm span option is available for narrow gaps.
NOT FOR SEIZED VALVES: While these tools are heavily reinforced, 3D-printed plastic cannot un-seize a corroded or stuck metal valve. If your valve is completely seized, it must be freed up or replaced mechanically before using this balancing tool.
Registered Design: Protected design ensuring superior mechanical strength over cheap knockoffs.
Tested Quality: Every single key is verified against standard plug gauges prior to shipping.
UK Small Business: Friendly, direct support. If you're stuck, just drop a message!
