FAQs
What is the key mechanism?
The K9 features a Z-Cylinder key mechanism designed to resist picking, pulling, and drilling.
How do I mount the lock to my bike?
Use the included mounting bracket. It attaches to most bicycle tubes.
What is the lock made of?
The lock is made of hardened steel plates.
Can I get replacement keys?
Yes, you can usually obtain replacement keys from OnGuard or a locksmith, often with the key code provided.
Is the lock waterproof?
While the lock is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, prolonged exposure to moisture can affect the key mechanism. Apply lubricant to the key mechanism to keep it working smoothly.
How do I maintain the folding mechanism?
Regularly clean the folding joints and apply a lubricant to ensure smooth operation. Avoid storing the lock in harsh conditions that may lead to corrosion.
What's the warranty?
Warranty information is not available in the product data.
Troubleshooting
Key doesn't turn smoothly in the lock.
Apply a small amount of lubricant to the key and insert it into the cylinder several times to work it in. Avoid using WD-40, as it can attract dirt.
The lock is difficult to unfold.
Ensure that all plates are properly aligned and that no debris is obstructing the folding mechanism. Try lubricating the joints.
Mounting bracket is loose.
Tighten the screws on the mounting bracket. If the bracket doesn't fit securely, consider using alternative mounting solutions or padding to prevent slippage.
