Overview
The PROLOC™ 1 Magnet Collar Set is a high-versatility, magnetic storage version of the industry-standard Proloc 1 barbell collar. Manufactured in the USA from high-strength 1.5" thick nylon, these collars feature built-in magnets that allow gym owners and athletes to "dock" unused collars directly to the steel uprights of a power rack or rig. By solving the common problem of misplaced collars, this set maximizes gym organization and accessibility.

Compatibility Guide
The PROLOC 1 design is a legitimate "universal" collar, making it a valuable tool for facilities with varied equipment:
Standard Olympic & Powerlifting Barbells (e.g., Ohio Bar, Ohio Power Bar)
Specialty Bars: Rogue Camber Bar, Rogue Safety Squat Bar, Swiss Bars, Multi-Grip Bars
Strongman Equipment: Rogue Farmers Walk Handles, certain Log bars
Junior Bars and most loadable dumbbells.
Note: For bars with a fixed 1.9" diameter pipe sleeve (where a tighter minimum fit is needed), consider PROLOC™ Strongman Collars.
Performance Benefits
Optimized Organization: The magnetic feature keeps collars at eye level and off the floor, preventing them from collecting dirt or being stepped on.
Vise-Like Security: Once hand-tightened, the Proloc mechanism offers a stable, locked-on hold that prevents plate rattle even during high-intensity Olympic movements or heavy deadlifts.
Equipment Safety: The nylon construction and smooth internal mechanism are designed to grip tight without marring the finish or damaging the knurling of high-end barbell sleeves.
Rapid Adjustments: Despite being a screw-down style, the large knob is designed for speed, working as smoothly as a spring clip while providing vastly superior security.
Maintenance and Care
Knob Maintenance: Periodically inspect the threaded knob for dirt or chalk. Clean threads ensure the knob remains easy to turn by hand.
Cross-Threading Prevention: The 2-year warranty does not cover damage caused by the disassembly of the knob or incorrect replacement that results in cross-threading.
Cleaning: Wipe the nylon body with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the plastic or the Rogue/Proloc branding.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these magnets stick to my aluminum or stainless steel rack? A: No. Magnets only adhere to ferromagnetic materials like standard carbon steel. They will not stick to 300-series stainless steel or aluminum uprights.
Q: Do I need a wrench to tighten them? A: No. These are intended for hand-tightening only. Do not use tools on the knob, as this can lead to over-tightening or cross-threading.
Q: Can I use these for heavy chain work? A: For chain-specific work, Rogue recommends the Proloc™ 2 Chain Collars, which include an integrated carabiner for variable resistance.
