How to use

Position the shackle around the bike frame and a fixed anchor such as a rack or post, or immobilize a wheel against the frame where space allows. Insert the shackle into the locking body until it engages and turn the key or operate the mechanism to secure the lock. To unlock, use the provided key or mechanism and withdraw the shackle. Regularly check that the lock is fully engaged and that the shackle passes through both frame and anchor or wheel and frame to prevent easy removal.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the U-lock in combination with a cable or chain for added coverage of both wheels and frame when leaving your bike unattended for longer periods. Store keys in a secure place and inspect the lock periodically for wear or damage; replace the lock if the mechanism shows signs of failure.
