FAQ
Whats Included?
1 x Quad Lock MAG™ Universal Adaptor OR 1 x Quad Lock® Original Universal Adaptor
Can I adhere the Universal Adaptor to any phone or phone case?
No, the Universal Adaptor uses uses a 3M VHB 4952 (very high bond) adhesive which bonds to smooth, non textured, non-porous surfaces such as plastic and metal. Take a look at this page to check if your existing phone case is made of a suitable material.
How do I remove the Universal Adaptor?
The Universal Adaptor can be removed from your phone or case with the application of heat, such as a hair dryer on a low heat setting.
Please be mindful not to damage the device or case with excess heat.
Once heat has been applied, peal adaptor from the device starting at one edge and working outwards. The original Universal Adaptor (square design) can be removed by connecting it to a mount and using the mount to leverage the adaptor off your phone or case.
Can I reuse the Universal Adapter?
No, the Universal Adapter is a one-time use product. Once it is applied to a surface, it cannot be reapplied to another surface if removed. For a new surface, we recommend purchasing a new Universal Adapter.
Can I use a coloured MAG Ring on the MAG Universal Adaptor?
Unfortunately no, the magnets are built into the Universal Adaptor, so you can't swap out the ring like on our MAG Phone Cases.
How much weight can the Universal Adaptor hold?
We have successfully tested the Universal Adaptor with devices weighing up to 300g / 10.6oz. We highly recommend checking the Universal Adaptor Adhesive Guidelines to ensure the Universal Adaptor is being adhered to a suitable material.
Can I use this with my Flip/Fold device?
We don't recommend using our Universal Adaptors with Fold or Flip devices. Due to issues with the weight distribution and positioning of the adaptor, we cannot offer a solution at this time. However, we hope we will have something to offer for these devices in the future.
Does the Universal Adaptor work with wireless charging?
Unfortunately no, we can't guarantee that the Universal Adaptor will work with Quad Lock Wireless Charging or other 3rd party wireless chargers for two reasons: The thickness of the adaptor combined with a 3rd party case creates too much distance between the charger and the phone for wireless charging to work effectively. The location of where the Universal Adaptor is adhered is not controlled, meaning we cannot ensure it will align correctly with the Quad Lock Wireless Charger or other 3rd party wireless chargers.

Surface Guidelines
The Quad Lock Universal Adaptor uses a 3M™ VHB 4952 Adhesive which will adhere to smooth, non-textured, non-porous surfaces such as:
- Plastics such as PC, ABS, PVC, Nylon, Acrylic
- Non-painted metals
- Un-coated glass
The adhesive will not bond to the following substrates:
- Rubber, TPU, TPE
- Leather
- Silicone
- Hydrophobic coated glass (Also known as anti-fingerprint glass, which is found on the back of most modern smartphones)
- Soft touch coating or paint
- Low surface energy plastics such as Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene (PE), Acetal, HDPE
- Wood
We highly recommend using a case with the Universal Adaptor if your phone has a glass back.

The 3M™ VHB™ is a single-use adhesive and is not reusable.
