FAQs
What is the weight of the Oxford Monster 1.2m Chain & Padlock?
The exact weight can vary slightly, but due to its hardened steel construction, it is a substantial security device, typically weighing around 5-6 kg. It is recommended to check the product packaging or manufacturer's specifications for precise details.
Is this chain suitable for all types of motorcycles?
Yes, the 1.2-meter length is generally suitable for most motorcycles, including sports bikes, cruisers, and touring models. However, always check if the chain can comfortably loop through your motorcycle's frame and a secure anchor point.
How should I store the chain when riding?
Many riders find ways to attach it to their frame or seat when not in use, though its weight may make this impractical for some. Alternatively, it can be stored in a tank bag or pannier.
Can this lock be used in all weather conditions?
The Oxford Monster is designed for durability, but like all mechanical locks, it performs best when maintained. Keeping the padlock clean and lubricated, especially after exposure to rain or salt, will ensure its longevity and smooth operation.
What is the thickness of the padlock shackle?
The padlock shackle thickness is substantial to match the chain's security. Specific dimensions should be verified with the manufacturer's detailed specifications, but it is designed to be difficult to cut.
Does it come with multiple keys?
Typically, security chains and padlocks come with two keys. Please refer to the product packaging or description for confirmation.
Troubleshooting
Padlock is stiff or difficult to lock/unlock.
Ensure the padlock cylinder is clean and free from debris. Apply a graphite-based lubricant to the keyhole and work the key back and forth. Avoid using oil-based lubricants which can attract dirt.
Chain appears to be rusting.
Wipe the chain dry with a cloth after exposure to moisture. For light surface rust, you can try cleaning with a fine steel wool and then applying a light coat of protective spray designed for metal.
Key will not turn in the padlock.
Make sure the chain is not under tension. Try wiggling the chain or adjusting the padlock slightly. If still stuck, use a lubricant as described above.
