We have never had a problem with the center holes of the Quick-Lock weight plates wearing. The paint will get worn down with use, but mechanically there should be no issues. The locking screw threads are not signficantly harder than the cast iron plates. If anythng does go wrong after years of use, you are still covered by our Lifetime Warranty. Stay Strong!

In order to make one dumbbell heavier than 75 lbs, you would need to have the longer locking screws. They come with the 120 lb Add on Kit or are available separately. If you got two long locking screws with your 75 lb set, you could do it.

[IronmasterPro]

Yes, the lifetime warranty would cover an issue with the locking mechanism. It covers everything but the finish. Thanks!

[IronmasterPro]

Good question. The Ironmaster Quick-Lock Dumbbells are better than Spinlocks because: 1) They don't have long handle ends sticking out. Much more compact and less awkward and you can set them on end like on your knees. 2) The patented locking mechanism prevents them from loosening during use making them safer. 3) Weight changes are not instant, but much quicker than spin locks. 4) Includes the dumbbell stand which helps a lot in terms of weight changes and storage.

Yes, the Quick-Lock plates fit the Dumbbells AND the Kettlebells we make. They both use the same plates and locking screws.

[IronmasterPro]

Absolutely. You can drop these dumbbells on the floor. They are iron and steel and very heavy duty. If you have any issues, the lifetime warranty will cover you. Thanks~Ironmaster.

how can they be perfectly balanced if i only add 2.5 lbs to one side and not the other?

[iRonlMoNKleY]

The problem with all the weight changes (which you'll perform regularly) is that the inner surface of the holes will wear out over time. Mine already has the paint chipped off and some gouges. The teeth grind at the holes. Just one thing to keep in mind.

I'd like to see Ironmasterpro comment on what one of the poster brought up - that is, with the regular weight changes the locking screws will grind at the inner holes and cause the plates to become loose, through creating gouges. I wonder just how much of an issue this is really going to be - I do have the full set of Quick-locks dumbbells (up to 120 lbs). Thanks.

When I say most, it suggest a normal bell curve and two standard deviations from the mean engulfing 95% of needs. Brings me back to the point of practicality and efficiency--things that ARE on the mind of a thoughtful consumer (helps make decisions).

[emil3m1]

@lazur1 you just like the sound of your voice? :) I'm not sure that this was in my address--it looks like you just wanted to share. In any case. There is a reason why gradations of LESS than 5lb are only offered in smaller dumbbells. For most purposes making smaller increments is ridiculous.

[lazur1]

2 protocols need faster changes than IMs are capable of: Stripping Sets & Pyramid Sets, & NO DBs change fast enough to do those properly.

[lazur1]

@ePt2:(Pardon previous typos & mis-#-ing). 6(cont.) / A/ Home gym's more likely to have inaccurate weights. Fractional plates can correct this. B/ Home gym's where adjustable DBs are. Commercial gyms' DBs have always been solid, in my experience. C/ Home gyms allow tinkering, & leaving results in place. Even if possible, commercial facilities frown on adding your own plates , & in any case, you'd have to remove them from the premises when you finished.

[lazur1]

@e:I don't undertand:1/Does the # of available programs affect workability of this idea? 2/This isn't a program. It's a way to break plateaus. It can be used in any program. It does work. 3/You seem to agree w/me by your 3rd sentence. 4/They are already being made; have been for years. 5/The efficiency of making them isn't an issue for the end user. 5/Home gyms are exactly where you'd more likely put fractional plates, (or washers, for that matter),on your dumbbells.

[emil3m1]

@lazur1 you know that there is a million programs out there. The program you reference to is not a standard. You can ask me if having more gradation is better than having no gradation and I will say yes. Just like having a summer car and winter car is better than simply switching tires :)

We are talking about a home gym here. Not sure that making 1.25lb plates is efficient.

Ironmaster, any thoughts?

[lazur1]

@emil3m1 Check out "Fractional Plates". Many trainees have times when better progress is made by slightly increasing loads with plates much less than 2.5. They're not felt as making the bell noticeably heavier, a way to get past plateaus. Usually the trainee begins by using a -lower- weight then previously. They accumulate, ounce by ounce, workout to workout, into an increase in strength that wasn't forthcoming with larger single jumps in weight.
