Product Information

Full details

The Zefal K-Traz F16L Folding Lock in Black is designed for cyclists needing robust security for their bikes in high-risk areas. Its primary benefit is the combination of strong U-lock style security with the flexibility of a folding cable, offering a security level of 16/20. A potential caveat is its heavier weight due to the steel construction, which might be a consideration for minimalist setups.

Troubleshooting

Lock is difficult to open or close

Ensure the lock is aligned correctly and try applying a small amount of graphite lubricant to the keyhole and mechanism. Check for any visible debris obstructing the lock.

Mounting clip feels loose

Re-tighten the screws on the mounting clip or reposition it on a different part of the frame for a more secure fit. Ensure the frame tube is clean and dry before attachment.

Key does not insert or turn smoothly

Check the key for any damage or bends. Clean the keyhole with compressed air and apply graphite lubricant. If the issue persists, contact Zefal for support regarding the loss of key service.

Excellent security rating (16/20) for high-risk areas.
Combines the strength of a U-lock with the flexibility of a cable.
Robust steel plate construction offers high resistance to attacks.
Includes a convenient mounting bracket for easy portability.
Offers a loss of key service for added security.

Cons

Relatively heavy at 1343g, which may impact bike weight.
The folding design, while compact, may still be bulkier than some alternatives.
Security level, while high, may not be sufficient for the absolute highest-risk scenarios without additional measures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The lock comes with a mounting clip that can be attached to your bike frame. Ensure the clip is securely fastened to a suitable tube on your frame before mounting the folded lock. The lock can be easily detached from the clip for use and reattached after securing your bike.

Compatibility: This lock is compatible with most bicycle frames. The 95cm cable length allows for securing various frame geometries and wheel combinations to standard bike racks and poles.

Care: To maintain the longevity and functionality of the lock, clean the steel plates and locking mechanism periodically with a dry cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid exposing the lock to excessive moisture or corrosive substances. If the lock becomes stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied to the keyhole to improve smoothness. Always ensure the lock is fully engaged and the key can be removed freely when locked.
