FAQs
Can I change the combination on this lock?

What is the security level of this lock?
This lock has an ABUS security level of 2, which is considered basic protection suitable for low-risk theft situations.
How long is the chain?
The chain is 60 cm long.
What is the weight of the lock?
The lock weighs approximately 200 grams.
Is this lock suitable for deterring professional thieves?
No, due to its basic security level and 4mm chain thickness, it is not designed to deter experienced thieves. It is best suited for very low-risk environments or for securing accessories.
What materials is the chain made from?
The chain is made of hardened steel.
What does the 'Web' in the product name refer to?
The 'Web' often refers to the color coating or sleeve of the chain, which helps protect the bike's paintwork from scratches.
Troubleshooting
Combination wheels are stiff or difficult to turn
Gently clean the combination wheels with a dry cloth. If stiffness persists, apply a small amount of dry lubricant (like graphite or silicone spray) to the *exterior* of the wheels. Avoid spraying directly into the lock mechanism.
Lock does not open with the correct combination
Ensure each digit aligns precisely with the indicator line. Try jiggling the chain slightly while turning the wheels. Verify you are using the factory-set combination. If the combination is unreadable or damaged, the lock may need to be cut.
Outer sleeve is torn or damaged
While cosmetic, a damaged sleeve can expose the chain to elements. If significant damage occurs, consider replacing the lock for better protection and paintwork preservation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This lock comes with a pre-set 3-digit combination. No setup is required other than to set the combination wheels to your desired digits (which are set at the factory).
Compatibility: The 4mm chain is compatible with most standard bicycle frames, wheels, and common locking points like railings. Its flexibility allows it to wrap around various objects.
Care: To maintain the lock's functionality and appearance:
- Wipe the chain and lock mechanism with a dry cloth regularly to remove dirt and debris.
- Avoid exposing the lock to excessive moisture to prevent rust.
- Ensure the combination wheels turn smoothly. If they become stiff, a small amount of dry lubricant can be applied sparingly to the wheels only (do not lubricate the internal mechanism).
- The outer sleeve protects your bike's paint; keep it clean to prevent abrasive particles from causing scratches.
