How to Upgrade Your Rokform Case with the Aluminum RokLock Upgrade Kit

If you own a Rokform case, you already know the convenience of magnetic mounting. But did you know you can enhance that experience with the Aluminum RokLock Upgrade Kit? This kit replaces the standard locking mechanism with a more durable aluminum version, providing a stronger hold and smoother operation. In this guide, we'll walk you through the installation process, ensuring your phone stays securely attached to any magnetic mount.

Upgrading your Rokform case is a simple DIY project that takes only a few minutes. Whether you're using a case like the Galaxy S23+ Magnetic Rugged Case or the iPhone 15 Plus Rugged Case, the process is similar. Let's dive into the details so you can enjoy a more reliable mounting experience.

What's in the Aluminum RokLock Upgrade Kit?

The Aluminum RokLock Upgrade Kit includes an aluminum locking ring, a replacement screw, and a small installation tool. The aluminum ring is precision-machined to fit perfectly into the back of your Rokform case, replacing the plastic version that comes standard. This upgrade not only looks premium but also increases the magnetic hold, reducing the risk of your phone detaching during rough rides or bumpy roads.

Before you begin, ensure you have a clean, flat workspace and possibly a soft cloth to protect your phone's screen. The kit is compatible with most Rokform cases, including the iPhone 14 Pro Rugged Case and the Samsung Galaxy S26 Rugged Phone Case. Always check the compatibility list on the product page to confirm your case model.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

First, remove your phone from the case. Place the case face down on a soft surface. Locate the existing plastic lock ring on the back. You'll see a small screw in the center. Use the provided tool to unscrew it counterclockwise. Keep the screw in a safe place; you'll need it later.

Once the screw is removed, gently pry out the plastic ring. It should come off easily. Now, align the new aluminum ring with the hole, ensuring the notch aligns with the corresponding slot. Press it firmly into place. Reinsert the screw and tighten it clockwise until snug. Do not over-tighten, as it may strip the threads.

After installation, test the lock by attaching your phone to a magnetic mount. Rotate the ring to ensure it clicks into place. If it feels loose, tighten the screw slightly. Your Rokform case is now upgraded with a more robust mounting system.

• Remove the case from your phone.
• Unscrew the center screw with the tool.
• Pry out the plastic ring.
• Insert the aluminum ring, aligning the notch.
• Screw it back in and test the lock.

Tips for a Smooth Upgrade

To avoid scratching your case, use a plastic pry tool or your fingers instead of metal objects. If the ring is stuck, apply gentle pressure around the edges to loosen it. Some users find it helpful to slightly warm the case with a hairdryer to make the plastic more pliable, but this is optional.

After upgrading, you may notice a stronger magnetic pull. This is especially beneficial when using accessories like the Motorcycle Stem Phone Mount + Vibration Dampener Kit or the Motorcycle Handlebar Phone Mount. The aluminum ring ensures your phone stays put even on the roughest terrain.

• Use a plastic tool to avoid scratches.
• If stuck, warm the case slightly.
• Test the lock with your favorite mount.
• Keep the original plastic ring as a spare.

Why Upgrade to Aluminum?

The standard plastic ring works fine, but the aluminum version offers several advantages. It's more durable, resistant to wear, and provides a tighter fit for the magnetic lock. This means less wobble and a more secure connection, which is crucial for riders and outdoor enthusiasts.

Additionally, the aluminum ring is compatible with all Rokform magnetic mounts, ensuring a universal fit. Whether you're using a desk mount, car mount, or motorcycle mount, the upgrade enhances performance. It's a small investment that significantly improves your daily use.

• Increased durability and longevity
• Stronger magnetic hold
• Smoother rotation and locking
• Compatible with all Rokform mounts
