Pro-Lok K280 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How is the Pro-Lok K280 beaded chain packaged, and can I buy it for a whole crew?
The Pro-Lok K280 comes two ways: as retail cards with one chain per card, sold in packs of five cards, or as a multi-card carrying 12 chains. The multi-card is the one to order when you're issuing badges across a crew or a facility; the retail cards suit a counter display or handing out one at a time.
2) Will a 30 inch ball chain lanyard fit a standard badge holder?
Yes. The Pro-Lok K280 is a metal ball chain lanyard built to fit most badge holders with punched holes. The bead diameter is small enough to thread through a standard badge slot hole, and the latch closure opens so you can feed the chain through the holder and reconnect it without tools.
3) Is the Pro-Lok K280 chain strong enough to carry keys, not just an ID card?
It's a heavy-duty metal ball chain, and Pro-Lok lists keys alongside IDs and swipe badges as intended loads. For a locksmith or maintenance tech carrying a few working keys around the neck, that's what this chain is for. A full key ring for a building is heavier duty than a neck lanyard is meant to carry, and a belt clip or key reel is the better call there.
4) How do you open and close a beaded neck chain like the Pro-Lok K280?
It uses a latch closure, the standard ball chain connector: the end bead presses into the barrel to lock, and you pull it straight back out to release. That means you can open the chain mid-shift to swap a badge holder or add a key without cutting or replacing the chain.
5) Is the Pro-Lok K280 metal or plastic?
Metal. It's a metal ball chain, not a plastic bead or woven cord lanyard, so it resists stretching and snapping the way fabric lanyards do in daily badge-in, badge-out use.
