Product Information
Full details
The Oxford Alarm-D Pro is designed for cyclists who require high-level security for their bicycles in high-risk areas. Its primary benefit is a combination of a 14mm hardened steel shackle and an integrated 120db movement-activated alarm, offering both physical and psychological deterrence against theft. However, users should note that the integrated alarm system adds weight and bulk compared to standard, non-electronic U-locks, which may impact portability for some riders.

Troubleshooting
The alarm does not sound when the bike is moved.
Verify that the batteries are installed correctly and have sufficient charge. If the batteries are fresh, ensure the alarm module is properly engaged.

Check that the bracket is not overtightened or misaligned on the frame. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the bracket contact points if friction persists.
