Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Squire Nevis D-Lock & Cable Set comes ready to use. The D-lock includes a frame bracket that can be attached to your bike's frame, typically using the bottle cage mounts. Ensure the bracket is securely fastened before riding.
Compatibility: The D-lock's dimensions (230mm vertical clearance, 115mm horizontal clearance) and the 1800mm cable length are designed to fit most standard bicycle frames and allow for locking to a variety of fixed objects like bike racks, lamp posts, and railings. The lock is suitable for securing bicycles, electric scooters, and other valuable outdoor equipment.
Care: To maintain the lock's functionality and durability:
- Cleaning: Wipe the D-lock and cable with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Lubrication: Periodically (e.g., every few months, or if the lock feels stiff), apply a graphite-based lubricant to the keyhole to keep the cylinder moving smoothly. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
- Storage: When not in use, ensure the lock and cable are stored properly, either on the bike using the bracket or in a bag, to prevent damage or excessive dirt accumulation. Ensure the cable's PVC coating remains intact to prevent scratches.
