FAQs
What does 'Sold Secure Powered Cycle Gold Approved' mean?
This is an independent security rating indicating the lock has passed rigorous testing against theft for powered cycles, meeting the highest standards for resistance.
How heavy is the Squire Disc Lock?
The lock weighs approximately 7.45 pounds (3.38 kg), reflecting its robust construction.
Can I leave the lock on my motorcycle permanently?
While designed for security, it is recommended to remove the lock when riding. The included reminder cable helps prevent accidental damage.
Is the reminder cable detachable?
The reminder cable has dual-looped ends designed to connect to the lock mechanism and a point on the motorcycle. It is not designed to be fully detached from the lock itself.
What is the difference between double locking and deadlocking?
Double locking secures both ends of the shackle, preventing it from being twisted or broken apart. Deadlocking makes the locking mechanism more secure against picking or forcing.
How do I clean the lock?
Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Use the dust cover to keep the keyhole free of debris. Lubricate the lock cylinder periodically with a graphite-based lubricant.
What is the shackle diameter?
The hardened steel shackle has a diameter of 13mm.
Troubleshooting
Lock will not engage
Ensure the shackle is fully inserted into the lock body. Check for any obstructions in the keyhole or mechanism. Try lubricating the lock cylinder.
Key will not turn or insert fully
Check that the lock is not engaged with the deadlocking mechanism. Ensure the key is clean and undamaged. Try a small amount of graphite lubricant in the keyhole.
Reminder cable is too short
The reminder cable is designed to be a visual aid. Ensure it is looped correctly between the lock and a visible point on your handlebars or seat. If it genuinely does not reach, consider alternative reminder methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your motorcycle's brake disc has accessible holes or slots large enough to accommodate the lock's 13mm shackle.
Place the lock through the disc, ensuring the shackle passes through a suitable opening.
Push the shackle into the lock body until it clicks, engaging the double locking mechanism.
Use the provided key to operate the lock. Insert the key and turn to unlock, then remove the key. The lock will automatically engage when the shackle is pushed in.
Compatibility:
This lock is designed for motorcycles, scooters, and ATVs with ventilated brake discs that have appropriate openings for the shackle.
Check the size of your disc brake holes and the lock’s shackle diameter (13mm) to ensure a proper fit.
Care:
Keep the keyhole clean. Use the rotating dustcover to protect the lock cylinder from dust and moisture.
Periodically lubricate the lock cylinder with a graphite-based lubricant or a specialized lock spray to ensure smooth operation. Avoid using oil-based lubricants, which can attract dirt.
Wipe the exterior of the lock with a dry or slightly damp cloth to clean it. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
