• Securing bicycles in urban or campus environments
• Locking scooters and hoverboards when left unattended
• Securing luggage, gear or sports equipment during short stops
• Supplementary locking in combination with a hardened D-lock or padlock

Key specifications

• Cable diameter: 10 mm steel core
• Construction: flexible steel cable with protective outer sheath
• End fittings: looped ends for use with padlocks or integrated locks
• Length: suitable for wrapping around frames and fixed objects (length based on model)
• Portability: lightweight and rollable for storage and transport

How to use

Wrap the cable around the item and a solid anchor point, such as a bike rack or fixed post, ensuring the cable passes through the frame where possible. Thread a compatible padlock or locking device through the looped ends and close the lock according to the lock’s instructions. Adjust the routing to minimize slack and reduce leverage points that could be exploited by opportunistic thieves. Store the cable coiled in a bag or attached to the frame when not in use.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable lock as part of a layered security approach: pair it with a hardened D-lock or disc lock for improved protection. Avoid leaving items unattended for long periods in high-risk areas and inspect the cable sheath regularly for signs of wear or damage. Choose a high-quality padlock that fits the loop ends snugly to ensure secure closure.
