FAQs

What type of padlock should I use with this cable?

The cable is compatible with most standard padlocks. Choose a padlock with a shackle diameter that will fit through the loops of the cable. For enhanced security, consider a hardened steel padlock.

Is a padlock included with the cable?

No, a padlock is not included. You will need to purchase a compatible padlock separately to use the cable for security.

Can this cable prevent determined theft?

The heavy-duty steel cable offers significant resistance to cutting tools. However, no cable lock is entirely theft-proof. For maximum security, it is recommended to use this cable in conjunction with other security measures or a higher-security lock.

How do I clean the cable?

Clean the cable by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the PVC coating.

Can this cable be used outdoors in all weather?

The PVC coating provides some protection against the elements. However, for prolonged exposure to harsh weather, it is advisable to dry the cable after use and store it in a dry place to prevent potential rust on the steel core if the coating is compromised.

What is the diameter of the steel cable?

The product description specifies a 'thick steel cable' and 'heavy duty steel cable' but does not provide an exact diameter measurement. It is designed to be robust and resistant to cutting.

Troubleshooting

Padlock will not close properly

Ensure the cable loops are not twisted or obstructed. Try re-positioning the cable and padlock. Check that the padlock shackle is fully inserted into both loops.

Cable appears stiff or difficult to maneuver

This is normal for a heavy-duty steel cable. Gently bend and position it; avoid forcing it to prevent damage to the coating. Ensure the storage method has not created permanent kinks.

PVC coating is damaged

Minor nicks can be managed by keeping the exposed steel dry. For significant damage, consider replacing the cable to ensure full security and protection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extended 4.5-meter length provides significant reach.
  • Heavy-duty steel construction offers strong resistance to cutting.
  • PVC coating protects surfaces from scratches and damage.
  • Versatile use for bicycles, garden equipment, gates, and more.
  • Durable design ensures long-lasting security.

Cons

  • Padlock is not included, requiring an additional purchase.
  • While tough, it may not deter determined professional thieves with specialized tools.
  • The cable's flexibility could be a slight compromise for maximum rigidity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use the Komodo Bicycle Lock Cable, loop one end through your item(s) and the desired anchor point. Then, pass the other loop through the first and secure it with a compatible padlock (sold separately). Ensure the padlock shackle fits through the cable loops.

Compatibility: The cable is designed to work with most standard padlocks that have a shackle diameter small enough to pass through the loops. It is compatible with bicycles, motorcycles, garden equipment, gates, sheds, and toolboxes.

Care: Wipe the cable clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Store the cable loosely coiled to prevent kinks. Periodically inspect the PVC coating for any significant damage. If the coating is compromised, ensure the underlying steel is not exposed to excessive moisture to prevent rust.
