Design Group Heavy Duty Bike Cable Bicycle Lock - 1.8 m

The primary benefit is its simplicity and convenience due to the auto-locking mechanism and long, flexible cable.

This is a cable lock, which offers moderate security. It is best suited for low-risk environments or as a secondary lock to deter opportunistic theft. For high-security needs, a U-lock or heavy-duty chain lock is recommended.

The cable is 1.8 meters (approximately 6 feet) long.

Two keys are included with the lock.

No, the vinyl coating is designed to protect your bike's paint from scratches.

Yes, the lock is designed for universal application and is suitable for electric bikes, road bikes, mountain bikes, and folding bikes.

To lock, simply push the cable end into the mechanism until it clicks – it auto-locks. To unlock, insert one of the provided keys and turn it to release the mechanism.

If you lose your keys, you will need to use your spare key if you have one. If both keys are lost, the lock will need to be cut, and you will need to purchase a new one.

Ensure the cable is not twisted or kinked. Clean the mechanism with a dry cloth and apply a small amount of dry lubricant to the keyhole and internal parts. Test with the key inserted.

Make sure the lock is not under tension from the bike leaning against the anchor point. Ensure the correct key is fully inserted. If dirt or debris is present, gently clean the keyhole.

While minor scuffs may occur, significant tears or damage to the vinyl coating can expose the steel cable to rust and reduce its integrity. Inspect regularly and consider replacing the lock if the coating is severely compromised.

If you have one key remaining, contact Design Group or a locksmith to see if a replacement can be made based on the key code (if provided) or by taking an impression. If both keys are lost and no duplicate is available, the lock will need to be cut.
