Frequently
Asked Questions - About Spa Cover Locks
How do the straps attach to my spa?
They attach just like plastic locks do with screws, only with
stronger, #12 stainless steel screws.
Can a trespasser unscrew the lock to gain access to
my spa?
No. Steelcore screw heads are concealed and inaccessible,
nor can the adjuster buckle be undone or adjusted when the
spa is locked.
How do the straps fit all household spas?
There is an adjustment buckle in the back of the spa that
allows not only spa strap lengths to be adjusted but also
placement of the locking buckle where it is more convenient,
either on the top or front of the spa.
How come it is easier to use Steelcore straps than
the plastic ones?
With plastic locks there are 4 to unlock. Steelcore only has 2 because the straps cover the whole spa instead of just attaching at the corners. It eliminates having to access the back to unlock 2 locks. Steelcore locking buckles were designed by aerospace engineers to be used at night and with just one hand. So you don't even have to put down your beverage to lock them.
Does this satisfy the ASTM safety requirements for
spa covers?
Yes, it does. The safety requirements for the ASTM safety spa cover are a locking system that deters a 0-5-year-old child from being able to gain access. Steelcore straps more than exceed that. It's important to note that a locking cover alone does not qualify as an ASTM-approved safety cover. Other ASTM requirements include labeling, slope for water runoff, and weight-bearing standards.
Do the straps work with spa cover butlers and other
spa cover lifters?
Yes. The straps just fold back with the spa cover and do not
interfere with any of the spa cover lifter devices.
I have an older spa and some of the wood on the side
is cracked and rotted. Will this still offer some security?
You can use a backing panel with large washers and trough
bolts instead of the included wood screws as is done in hurricane
areas. It’s important to note the spa security straps
are only as secure as what they are attached to.
What if I lose the keys?
Copies of all keys are available for immediate delivery for
the minimal cost of $1 each.
Why isn't it a combination lock?
Because of use at night, and most combination locks are not weatherproof.
