LOXX® High Washer – Black Chrome-Plated Brass

The LOXX® High Washer is made for thick leather: its taller profile lets the thread catch properly even through material 1 to 4 mm thick. With a low washer on thick vegetable-tanned leather, the thread often only catches for a few turns, so the fastener can't be tightened securely or works loose over time. That means you can skip the time-consuming skiving of the leather at the joint entirely.

Limits and correct washer installation

• The fixing teeth must fully bite into the leather: When tightening, press the washer down so the teeth embed completely into the material. Quick check: After tightening, try turning the entire fastener with your fingers. If it moves, the teeth haven't seated properly and the fastener will spin during use.
• Minimum thickness 1 mm: On thinner materials the washer may not seat correctly and the fastener can remain loose. For these cases, use the standard flat washer instead.
• Maximum thickness 4 mm: If the total layer thickness exceeds 4 mm, the thread won't reach the top part of the fastener and the joint won't close at all. In that case you'll need to pair the washer with a top part that has a specially extended thread.

Installation and accessories

⚠️ Note: The fastener consists of two parts (top/bottom part). Both parts must be purchased separately to complete the fastener.

1. Punching the hole: Use a hole punch with a 10 mm diameter to create the opening – available individually as #KEM/LSHP100 or as part of a set #24690, #KEM/LSHP/14SET.
2. Attaching and tightening: For occasional tightening, a small wrench #04492.05000 works well. For regular use, we recommend the large wrench #04500.00000.
