Full details

This OnGuard Bicycle Lock in Black is designed for users prioritizing convenience and lightweight security for low-risk situations, such as quick stops or securing accessories. Its key benefit is its portability and ease of use, allowing for rapid locking and unlocking with a resettable combination. However, its low security rating means it is not suitable for prolonged periods or high-risk environments. The lock features a stainless steel core, a 3-digit resettable combination, and a 56cm length, with the option to connect multiple locks for extended reach.

FAQs

What is the security level of this lock?

This is a low-security lock, best suited for convenience and preventing opportunistic theft in low-risk environments. It is not designed to withstand determined attacks with cutting tools.

How do I reset the combination?

Extend the cable fully. Locate the reset button (usually near the wheels), push and hold it with a pointed object, set your desired 3-digit code, and release the button.

Can I use this lock to secure my bike overnight?

No, this lock offers minimal security and is not recommended for overnight or extended periods in public areas. It is intended for quick stops and low-risk situations.

What does 'daisy-chainable' mean?

It means you can connect multiple OnGuard locks together end-to-end to create a longer locking cable.

What materials is the lock made of?

The lock features a stainless steel core and a flexible cable, encased in a protective material.

How long is the lock cable?

The lock cable is 56cm (approximately 22 inches) long.

What is the warranty period for this lock?

Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Cannot set or change combination

Ensure the lock cable is fully extended before attempting to reset the combination. Make sure you are pressing the reset button firmly with a pointed object. If the issue persists, the mechanism may be damaged.

Combination wheels are stiff or difficult to turn

Clean the combination wheels with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using lubricants, as they can attract dirt. If stiffness persists, the lock may need to be replaced.

Lock will not open with the correct combination

Double-check that you are entering the correct 3-digit code. Ensure the wheels are fully settled on the numbers. If the lock is still stuck, it may be compromised or require force to open.
