How to use

Thread the chain around the bicycle frame and a secure fixed object such as a bike rack or post. Use the integrated cable to loop through wheels or accessories that need extra protection, then insert the chain end into the keyed cylinder and turn the key to lock. Keep the key in a safe place; when unlocking, insert the key, rotate to release the cylinder, and withdraw the chain. Inspect the lock periodically for wear or damage and ensure the cylinder remains free of dirt and moisture to maintain smooth operation.

Usage recommendations

For improved security, choose a well-lit, visible location and secure both the frame and at least one wheel. Combine the chain lock with additional locking methods if leaving a bike unattended for extended periods or in high-risk areas. Store spare keys separately from the locked bicycle and clean the cylinder periodically to prevent buildup that could impede the key.
