Full details

Its primary benefit is the robust 10mm steel cable combined with a protective plastic coating that prevents scratches on your bike's frame.

Troubleshooting
Lock is difficult to open or close.
Ensure the key is fully inserted. Try cleaning the keyhole and lubricating the mechanism with a graphite-based lubricant. Check for any debris obstructing the keyway.
Key is stuck or won't turn.
Do not force the key. Ensure the lock cylinder is aligned correctly. Gentle wiggling of the key while applying slight turning pressure might help. If the issue persists, lubrication may be needed.
Plastic coating is scratched or damaged.
While the coating is designed to protect your bike, minor cosmetic damage to the coating itself does not typically affect the lock's security. Clean the affected area and continue to use the lock. For significant damage, consider replacement if structural integrity is a concern.
