How to Care for Your Metal Bondage Gear

General Care: For All Products

• Test before every use:
  Ensure all closures, locks, and moving parts function perfectly. Always check your keys and spares before play.

• No use if faulty:
  If you notice sticking, difficulty closing, or any change in feel - pause and inspect.

• Storage:
  Store clean and dry. Avoid high humidity, extreme temperatures, or direct, continuous sunlight.

• Keep everything dry:
  Especially important for nickel-plated steel pieces.

Cleaning & Maintenance: Stainless Steel & Aluminum

• Water and moisture:
  Stainless steel and aluminum gear can be used in damp environments or under water. After use, rinse and dry thoroughly.

• Moving parts:
  Keep hinges, screws, and locks moving freely by operating them regularly.

• Oiling:
  Apply a drop of sewing machine oil, Ballistol, or fine mechanical oil to moving parts once a year or after significant moisture exposure.

• Polishing:
  Surface scratches can be minimized with stainless steel polish or very fine polishing paste.

Cleaning & Maintenance: Nickel-Plated Steel

• Water contact:
  Nickel-plated gear should not be submerged. Occasional splashes are fine, just dry immediately.

• Oiling:
  As above, keep hinges and moving parts lubricated with a drop of oil after contact with water, or at least once a year.

Special Note: MagBound® Locks and Timer Modules

• Avoid moisture:
  MagBound locks and timers are sensitive, keep magnet faces and anchor plates clean, grease-free, and dry at all times.

• Prevent blockages:
  Even small particles or oils can increase the magnetic force or cause jamming.
