Operating Instructions
1. 3-Level Locking System
The Qianji Lock features a patented triple-layer physical locking system. Select the security level suited to your scenario:
-
Level 1: Quick Access Mode
Ideal for daily commutes and frequent access.
● Lock: Insert the bolt; the ruby-bead mechanism engages automatically with a crisp mechanical click.
● Unlock: Press the ruby button while applying gentle pull force → release button → withdraw bolt.
💡 Pro Tip: Master the "press + pull + release" sequence. Muscle memory develops within minutes.
-
Level 2: Active Defense Mode
For crowded transit or high-traffic zones. Slide the side switch right to physically immobilize the ruby button—adding a second independent lock atop Level 1.
-
Level 3: Ultimate Deadlock Mode
We call this the Invisible Deadlock. This ingenious mechanism works like a childhood puzzle: solving it requires patience and delivers an "aha" moment.
For absolute secrecy and security, the tertiary unlocking method is not disclosed online.
Note: Level 3 and Level 2 operate independently. Both must be disengaged before Level 1 unlocks.
2. Bolt Orientation
Directionless design—insert bolt either way. No orientation check needed in low light.
3. Zipper Locking Modes
● Standard Mode: Insert two zipper pulls into left/right slots for balanced tension.
● Compact Mode: Stack slender pulls together into one slot for tight spaces.
4. Anti-Theft Steel Cable (Optional)
Thread the 2mm cable through frames/handles, insert both loops into the lock. Ideal for bikes, helmets, lockers.
5. Multi-Function Bolt Tool
● Tip: Flat-head screwdriver (camera plates, tripods).
● Tail: Standard 4mm hex interface (quick repairs).
6. Tritium Vial Installation (Optional)
Dedicated slots on both sides. Insert vial, secure with sealant. Self-powered glow lasts ~25 years—no batteries. Enables instant location in darkness.
Maintenance & Care
- GR5 Titanium Body: Naturally corrosion-resistant (sweat, rain, seawater). Wipe with microfiber cloth. Avoid acidic/alkaline cleaners.
- Ruby/Ceramic Beads: Extreme Mohs hardness = scratch-resistant. Do not remove (press-fit assembly). Avoid ultrasonic cleaning.
- Locking Mechanism: Factory-calibrated. No lubrication needed.
Safety Warnings
⚠️ Non-TSA Certified: Contains no master key/backdoor. Do not use on checked luggage—security may destroy lock/luggage. For carry-on & EDC only.
⚠️ Impact Risk: Titanium body is robust, but ruby beads may crack if dropped on hard surfaces or used as impact tools.
⚠️ Keep Away from Children: Contains small parts (bolt, switches, tritium vials). Not a toy. Choking hazard.
⚠️ Cable Limitation: Steel cable offers light-duty security only. Not a substitute for high-security locks.
Lifetime Warranty Commitment
Titaner warrants the TC4/GR5 titanium lock body and core mechanism against functional defects under normal use. We provide professional repair/replacement at no cost.
Warranty Exclusions
- Consumables/accessories (steel cable, tritium vials, ceramic beads).
- Damage from misuse: forced impact, disassembly, non-intended use (e.g., pry bar).
- Cosmetic wear: scratches, dents, stonewash texture evolution (does not affect function).
- DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating wear from normal friction.
Operating Instructions
Crafted from TC4 titanium alloy, this system comprises a female buckle, male buckle, and two interchangeable connector rings at each end. The buckles integrate a magnetic-mechanical dual-locking mechanism; the connector rings attach to your gear and can be swapped tool-free as needed.
1. Connection (Magnetic Engagement)
Bring the buckle interfaces close together. Built-in N52-grade neodymium magnets guide automatic alignment and secure engagement. An audible "click" confirms full engagement of both magnetic and mechanical locks.
2. Unlocking & Separation
To release: ① Press; ② Pull straight apart.
✅ Resists accidental disengagement from daily pulling, vibration, or snagging
✅ Unlocks only upon deliberate two-step action
3. Replacing Connector Rings (Tool-Free)
Rings secure via twist-lock. Replacement: ① Press; ② Rotate 90° → swap.
All four GR5 titanium alloy series are universally compatible:
● U-Series (U4/U8/U12/U25 | 4/8/12/25mm): U-shaped open design—centers single items (keys, earphone cases) to prevent tilt/swing
● X-Series (X6/X8/X10 | 6/8/10mm): Reinforced titanium pin for narrow/closed openings; fully encased in Titanium Shield™
● D-Series (D12/D15/D20 | 12/15/20mm): Flat-top structure—neatly stacks flat items (multiple keys, ID cards) silently
● E-Series (E25/E30 | 25/30mm): Tri-glide structure—secure non-slip anchor for standard 1" (25mm) / 1.2" (30mm) webbing
4. Magnetic Temporary Mounting
Remove the male buckle: its N52 magnet adheres temporarily to ferromagnetic surfaces for lightweight emergency mounting.
5. 360° Rotation
Full rotational freedom minimizes tangling and twisting—gear stays organized and instantly accessible.
Maintenance & Care
TC4 Titanium Body
Naturally corrosion-resistant. Wipe with soft dry cloth.
Locking & Rotation Mechanism
Prevent sand/fibers from entering. After exposure to mud, seawater, or sweat: rinse with clean water, dry thoroughly before reuse.
N52 Magnet End Face
Clean regularly to remove metal particles—ensures precise alignment and seal integrity.
Surface Finishes (Stone-Washed / Machined / Anodized)
Avoid abrasive cleaners or hard objects to preserve texture and anodized color layers.
Safety Warnings
⚠️ Strong Magnet Hazard: Keep away from pacemakers, hearing aids, and magnet-sensitive devices (risk of malfunction/data loss).
⚠️ Small Parts: Male buckle, rings, and pins—store out of reach of children/pets (choking/pinching hazard).
⚠️ Temporary Mounting: For lightweight items only. Verify full buckle engagement before suspending valuables.
⚠️ Critical Limitation: Designed for everyday gear connection ONLY. NOT certified for climbing, human suspension, fall protection, or life-safety applications.
Lifetime Warranty
Titaner warrants TC4 titanium main buckles and all connector ring series against material/manufacturing defects under normal use.
Exclusions:
- Damage from drops, excessive force, prying, or misuse (deformation, fracture, lock failure)
- N52 magnet demagnetization due to prolonged high-temperature exposure
- Natural patina, wear, or color evolution
- Lost components from improper storage
- Minor cosmetic scratches not affecting function

Very clever, only took about 15 minutes to work out level 3 with a pointy pair of tweezers but very clever, the only thing I’m finding is the ruby button is getting stuck/jammed inside so it doesn’t let you unlock it, it only arrived today. But I’m unable to use it as I can’t trust it to actually unlock when I need it. Nice design and looks really nice but unfortunately mine doesn’t work :(
Beautiful lock, requires a little patience to open at first. Press the ruby button just about halfway and pull the removable key as you release the button. Once you get it, it works easily. Level 3 is an intriguing challenge, solvable with the optional “mystery tool” or a simple paper clip. Kudos to Titaner designers!
I liked the idea when backing it. After having received it, I’m disappointed. While the design and quality in general are good, the unlocking mechanism is so unreliable and hard to operate. Pushing and pulling does not work consistently. It sometimes takes up to 10 tries to get it open. Sometimes the button gets kind of stuck and needs a very hard push to operate again. For a product that’s focused on the mechanical part of locking and unlocking, that’s far from well done. In the end, I’ll not use it as a daily EDC item.
Very nice product. But it’s really not complicated to figure out level 3. Just one quick look at the product and you can tell if you just have a little mechanical know how. I’m a machinist myself.. not sure if they makes a difference tho.
This will make a great lock for my travel needs
I figured out all three levels quickly, but I used to be a machinist
