When it may not be suitable
This cable lock may not be suitable for securing high-value bicycles in areas with a high risk of theft, as basic cable locks offer limited resistance against heavy-duty cutting tools. It is also not ideal for securing multiple bicycles simultaneously due to its 550 mm length limitation.

How to use
To secure your bicycle, wrap the flexible steel cable around the bicycle frame and, if possible, through the rear wheel, then around a secure and stable fixed object. Insert the key into the locking cylinder, engage the locking bolt until it clicks securely into place, and remove the key. Verify that the lock is securely engaged before leaving the bicycle unattended. Keep the key in a safe and accessible place during your ride.
What to consider before purchase
- Assess the typical theft risk of the locations where you usually park your bicycle
- Verify that the 550 mm length is sufficient for your specific bicycle frame and intended locking points
- Determine whether you prefer a key-operated locking mechanism over a combination lock
Usage recommendations: Use the ABUS 3406K/55 cable lock primarily as a secondary security measure or for low-risk environments during short stops. For maximum security in high-risk urban areas, pair this cable lock with a heavy-duty U-lock or folding lock from the manufacturer. Regularly check the locking mechanism for smooth operation and keep it clean from dirt and debris.
