How do I wear the lock comfortably?
The lock features an adjustable extender strap, allowing you to wear it around your waist or carry it securely. Adjust the strap for a snug but comfortable fit that doesn't impede your movement.
Will the neoprene cover protect my bike frame from scratches?
Yes, the durable neoprene cover is designed to create a barrier between the tough steel lock and your bike's frame, preventing scratches and abrasions during the locking process.
How long is the lock cable?
The lock has a length of 850mm, providing ample room to secure your bike frame to various anchoring points.
What type of keys does it use?
The lock uses unique patented linear pin tumbler locking mechanism and comes with 2 dimple keys, which are generally considered more secure than standard keys.
Is this lock suitable for high-crime areas?
With its Sold Secure Bicycle Silver rating, it offers a good level of security suitable for many urban environments and situations. For extremely high-risk areas or prolonged unattended storage, a higher security rating (e.g., Gold or Diamond) might be recommended.
Can I buy replacement keys?
Replacement keys can typically be ordered through authorized Squire dealers or directly from Squire, usually requiring the key code which may be provided with the original purchase.
Troubleshooting
Lock is difficult to open or close
Ensure the lock is free of dirt and debris. Apply a graphite-based lubricant to the keyhole and try again. Make sure the mechanism is aligned correctly before attempting to lock or unlock.
Key will not turn in the lock
Check that you are using the correct key and that it is fully inserted. The locking mechanism may be under slight tension; try gently easing pressure on the lock before turning the key. If the key is bent or damaged, do not force it and contact the manufacturer.
Neoprene cover is torn or damaged
While the cover is designed for protection, significant damage may expose the steel cores. Inspect the steel cores for any signs of compromise. Minor tears can be managed, but severe damage may affect the lock's overall integrity and lifespan.
