FAQs
How loud is the alarm?
The Kovix KD6 Alarmed Disc Lock features a loud 120dB alarm, designed to be clearly audible and deter potential thieves.
What type of battery does it use?
The lock is powered by a durable lithium battery. Specific battery type should be confirmed in the product manual for replacement.
Is the lock waterproof?
The lock has weather-protected electronics and anti-corrosion treatment, making it resistant to rain and humidity, but it is not fully waterproof. It's designed for outdoor use under normal weather conditions.
How do I know when to replace the battery?
The alarm will likely sound weaker, or the lock may fail to arm consistently. It's good practice to check and replace the battery annually or when performance decreases.
Will this lock fit any motorcycle?
It is designed to fit most motorcycles and scooters with suitable disc brake rotor holes for its 6mm pin. Always check your specific vehicle's disc brake dimensions.
What does 'ice spray protection' mean?
This feature protects the lock's housing and cylinder from damage or malfunction caused by rapid temperature changes, such as when sprayed with cold liquids or exposed to extreme cold.
Can the alarm be turned off?
The alarm is designed to arm when the lock is engaged and disarm when unlocked. There is typically a selection for alarm function, allowing it to be used without the alarm if desired, by not arming it. Check the specific arming procedure for your model.
Troubleshooting
Alarm does not arm or sound
Check and replace the lithium battery. Ensure the lock is properly engaged and the motion sensor is not obstructed.
False alarms triggered by vibrations
Ensure the lock is firmly seated in the disc brake hole. Try repositioning the lock. If issues persist, the battery may need replacement or sensitivity might be too high for the environment.
Lock is difficult to open or close
Clean the keyhole and cylinder. Apply a graphite-based lubricant to the key cylinder. Ensure the lock is not misaligned with the disc.
Corrosion or discoloration on the lock body
Wipe the lock with a soft, dry cloth. While treated for corrosion, prolonged exposure to harsh elements without cleaning can still affect appearance. Ensure it's dry after rain.

Compatibility:

Care:
- Battery Replacement: The lock is powered by a lithium battery. When the alarm sounds weak or doesn't arm, replace the battery following the manufacturer's instructions. Keep a spare battery on hand.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the anti-corrosion treatment or protective seals.
- Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the key cylinder with a graphite-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation, especially after exposure to moisture.
