Troubleshooting
Key won't turn or is difficult to insert.
Ensure the shackle is fully engaged and aligned. Try gently wiggling the key. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the keyhole and try again.

Difficulty finding a suitable locking point.
The 18.5cm x 25cm dimensions offer flexibility. Try locking the frame to the seat post if no rack is available, or use the shackle to secure both wheels and the frame if possible, depending on the design of your bike and the object you're locking to.
