Troubleshooting
Lock is stiff or difficult to open/close
Ensure the chain is not twisted or bent. Clean the lock mechanism with compressed air and apply a small amount of dry lubricant specifically designed for locks. Check for any debris caught in the keyhole.
Key will not turn in the lock
Make sure you are using the correct key and that it is fully inserted. The lock may be under tension; try gently wiggling the chain or bicycle while turning the key. Check for any obstructions in the keyhole.
Textile sleeve is torn
While the lock will still function, a torn sleeve offers less protection to your bike's paintwork. Consider replacing the lock if the damage is significant, or take extra care to pad the chain where it contacts the frame.
