Valve Locks

Valve locks, or keepers, are the small wedges that secure the valve spring retainer to the valve stem. Without a properly matched set, high-revving engines can suffer catastrophic failure.

  • Typical materials: hardened steel, chromoly, or titanium for high-RPM builds.
  • Common angles: 7° and 10° locks must match the retainer’s angle.
  • Groove styles: single-bead and multi-bead locks for different stem profiles.
  • Always replace locks when replacing springs or retainers; wear can lead to dropping a valve.

Our collection includes locks for a wide range of domestic and import applications. Match the lock angle, stem diameter, and groove style to your valve stem and retainer for a secure, long-lasting assembly.
