FAQs

What is the ABUS Security Level of this lock?

The ABUS Steel-O-Chain 5805K/75 has a Security Level of 5 out of a possible 15. This indicates good protection for low-risk theft areas.

How long is the chain?

The chain is 75 cm (approximately 29.5 inches) in length.

What material is the chain made of?

The chain is made of 5 mm thick, specially hardened steel.

Does the lock come with keys?

Yes, the lock comes with two keys.

Is this lock suitable for high-theft areas?

This lock is recommended for securing low-value bicycles in areas with a low risk of theft. For high-theft areas, a lock with a higher ABUS Security Level is advised.

How can I transport this lock when not in use?

You can coil the chain and carry it in a backpack or a bicycle frame bag. ABUS offers specific frame bags like the ST 2012, ST 2200, ST 2250, or ST 8130 LT that are suitable for transporting chain locks.

How do I clean and maintain the lock?

Clean the chain and lock mechanism with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Periodically lubricate the keyhole and lock cylinder with a suitable lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

Troubleshooting

Lock is difficult to open or close.

Ensure the key is fully inserted. Try applying a small amount of lubricant (graphite or silicone spray) into the keyhole and gently work the key back and forth. Clean any debris from the lock mechanism.

Chain feels stiff or doesn't move freely.

Inspect the chain for dirt or debris. Clean it with a cloth and consider applying a lubricant designed for chains. Ensure the textile sleeve is not tangled or twisted.

Key is stuck in the lock.

Do not force the key. Gently wiggle the key while trying to turn it. Ensure the lock shackle is in the correct position for unlocking. If the issue persists, lubrication might help.

Lock is rusted or corroded.

If minor, try cleaning with a wire brush and applying a rust inhibitor or lubricant. If the corrosion is severe and affects operation, the lock may need to be replaced for security reasons.

  • Lightweight and easy to carry.
  • Simple to operate for frequent use.
  • Provides adequate security for low-risk areas.

Cons

  • Best suited for low-value bicycles only.
  • Security level 5 may not be sufficient for high-risk areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

No complex setup is required. The lock is ready for use immediately upon receiving it. Ensure you understand how to operate the key mechanism for locking and unlocking.

Compatibility:

This lock is compatible with a wide range of bicycles and can be secured to most sturdy, fixed objects such as bike racks, lampposts, railings, and bollards. The 75 cm length provides flexibility in choosing locking points.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the chain and lock mechanism periodically with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
  • Lubrication: Occasionally, apply a light lubricant (e.g., graphite-based or silicone spray) to the keyhole and lock cylinder to ensure smooth operation, especially in adverse weather conditions.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the lock in a dry place. If carrying on the bike, consider using a frame bag or the recommended ABUS frame bags (ST 2012, ST 2200, ST 2250, ST 8130 LT) to protect the chain and your bike's paintwork.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the chain for any signs of wear or damage. If significant damage is observed, consider replacing the lock.
