Tips

• Always lock a vehicle in a well-lit area with high foot traffic.
• Always lock a vehicle to a solid object that the vehicle cannot be lifted over.
• Make sure the object that the vehicle is locked to cannot be cut.
• Where possible always make sure the vehicle frame and both wheels are secure.
• Lock according to value of the vehicle – frame, back wheel, front wheel.
• Get the tightest fit possible! The less room inside the u-lock or chain the better as it makes it difficult for thieves to use their tools.
• Position the lock off the ground with the keyhole facing down.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Lubricate the lock several times a year to keep the lock in its best working condition. Always use a lubricant that has only a silicone, graphite or Teflon base. Face the lock cylinder upright and spray or pour the lubricant into the cylinder. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Place a rag on the workstation and turn the lock over onto the rag for a few minutes.

Do not use WD-40! WD-40 is a solvent, not a lubricant and will remove lubricant in the cylinder.
