Troubleshooting
Key will not turn or lock opens/closes stiffly.
Ensure the key is fully inserted. Clean the keyhole with compressed air and apply a graphite lubricant to the lock mechanism. Avoid using oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dirt.
Chain feels stiff or difficult to bend.
This is normal for hardened steel chains. Ensure the chain is not frozen or excessively dirty. If stiff after cleaning and lubrication, it may require replacement if the stiffness impedes locking.
Lock is lost or broken.
Contact ABUS customer support for assistance regarding key replacement or lock servicing. Note that key replacement services may vary and might require proof of purchase or a key code.
