Keyport Pivot 2.0 Assembly Instructions

Congratulations on your new Keyport Pivot 2.0! This step-by-step guide will help you assemble and customize your modular key organizer effortlessly. Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or an EDC newbie, this guide has everything you need to make the most of your Pivot.

How to Assemble the Keyport Pivot 2.0

Step 1: Get Familiar with the Components

Unbox your Keyport Pivot 2.0 and lay everything out. Here’s what you’ll find:

• Male pin and female pin
• Pre-installed spring washer (important—don’t remove it!)
• Keyport ID card
• Spacers for adjusting stack height
• Optional add-ons or modules (if purchased)

Pro Tip: Keep the spring washer in place—it’s the secret sauce that keeps your keys snug and secure.

Step 2: Remove the Male Pin

Hold the female pin on the back with your index finger to keep it steady, then unscrew the male pin with your other hand. Once removed, lay the chassis flat on a table.

No tools yet? No problem. You can use a coin or the RuSH Tool to make setup and module removal even easier.

Step 3: Build Your Perfect Stack

Decide what you want to carry. Keys? Tools? Modules? Mix it up!

If your stack has fewer than 3 items, use spacers to reach at least one key or spacer height above the female pin. This step is critical and ensures the ratcheting mechanism works its magic.

Start your stack with the KeyportID card. Why? It protects the chassis and helps you recover your Pivot if it’s ever lost. (Just register your serial number at mykeyport.com/id).

Step 4: Assemble Your Pivot

1. Align your keys, tools, and spacers with the holes on the female pin.

2. Place the second half of the chassis on top, making sure everything lines up.

3. Insert the male pin and tighten it by hand.

Step 5: Lock It In

Grab a coin (a penny works best) or the RuSH Tool and tighten the male pin. You’ll hear a satisfying “click” every 90 degrees—this is the ratcheting mechanism locking your stack securely in place. Adjust tightness so the keys rotate smoothly but stay firm.

Perfect! Your Keyport Pivot is now assembled and ready to go.

Add-on Magic: Snap-on Modules

Take your Pivot to the next level with Keyport’s modular system. Attach accessories like:

• Pocket Flare Mini-Flashlight: Lights your way in style.
• NEBA Knife: Compact yet powerful for everyday tasks.
• MOCA 10-in-1 Multi-Tool: Handles everything from opening bottles to turning screws.
  

To attach a module, align its spring steel feet with the side holes on the Pivot and press until you hear it snap into place. Want to swap it out? Use the RuSH Tool for easy, damage-free removal.

Get Creative with the D-Ring

The Pivot comes with a beefy D-ring, perfect for attaching your auto fob, paracord pulls, or a carabiner. Use it to personalize your setup even more.

Why the Spring Washer is Essential

Let’s talk about the spring washer—it’s the tiny hero of the Keyport Pivot. It:

• Keeps the ratcheting mechanism working smoothly.
• Prevents keys and tools from accidentally rotating out of place.

Warning: Don’t remove or lose the spring washer. Without it, your Pivot just won’t work as intended.
