Product Information

Full details

This BlueSpot 900mm x 18mm Cable Lock is designed for individuals seeking reliable security for their bicycles and general items. Its key benefit is the robust braided steel construction combined with weather-resistant features, offering peace of mind against theft. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for deterring opportunistic theft rather than high-security applications. Key features include a durable braided steel cable, a weather-resistant vinyl coating, and two LED keys for convenient use in low light.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary security level of this lock?

This cable lock is best suited for deterring opportunistic theft and providing basic security. It is not designed to withstand determined attacks with cutting tools for extended periods.

How do I use the LED keys?

Each key has a small button to activate the LED light. Press the button to illuminate the key tip, making it easier to insert into the lock cylinder in low-light conditions.

Can this lock be used for high-value items?

For high-value items or in high-risk areas, it is recommended to use a higher-security lock, such as a hardened steel U-lock or heavy-duty chain lock, often in combination with a cable lock.

What is the warranty period for this lock?

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

Can I buy replacement keys?

Replacement keys are typically not available for this type of lock. It is important to keep the supplied keys safe.

How should I store the lock when not in use?

When not in use, store the lock in a dry place. You can coil it and place it in a backpack or saddlebag. Ensure it is not constantly exposed to moisture.

Troubleshooting

Lock is difficult to open or close

Ensure the key is fully inserted. Clean the keyhole with a small brush and apply a graphite-based lubricant if necessary. Check for any debris obstructing the mechanism.

Key will not turn in the lock

Verify you are using the correct key. Make sure the cable is not under excessive tension, which can bind the lock cylinder. Try wiggling the key gently while turning.

LED light on key is not working

Check if the battery in the LED key needs replacing. Typically, these use small button cell batteries.

Vinyl coating is damaged

Minor scuffs are cosmetic. If the underlying braided steel is exposed and rusting, consider replacing the lock for optimal security.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable braided steel for good security.
  • Weather-resistant coating extends product life.
  • Includes two LED keys for convenience in the dark.
  • 900mm length provides flexibility in securing items.
  • Suitable for various general security needs.

Cons

  • May not be sufficient for high-risk security environments.
  • Cable locks can be vulnerable to cutting tools compared to U-locks.
  • Vinyl coating could be susceptible to wear over time.
  • Relies on key retention, which can be a single point of failure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The cable lock requires no setup beyond choosing a secure object to lock your item to. Simply loop the cable through your bicycle frame and wheel (and optionally, the object you are securing it to), then insert one of the keys into the lock cylinder and turn to secure.

Compatibility: This lock is compatible with most bicycle frames and wheels, as well as general items requiring security. Its 18mm diameter and 900mm length make it versatile.

Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of your cable lock:

  • Keep the lock mechanism clean and free from dirt and debris.
  • Periodically wipe the vinyl coating with a damp cloth.
  • Avoid exposing the lock to harsh chemicals.
  • Store keys in a safe place to prevent loss.
