To maximize the lifespan and performance of your spring lock washers, it’s important to perform regular maintenance. Periodically inspect the washers for signs of wear or corrosion, especially in harsh environments. If you notice any signs of compression, rust, or deformation, replace the washers immediately to maintain secure fastening.

In extreme environments, such as marine or industrial settings, consider using corrosion-resistant spring lock washers or applying anti-corrosion treatments. This will help prolong the life of the washers and ensure their effectiveness in preventing fastener loosening, even under the most demanding conditions.
