FAQs
What does 'Sold Secure Pedal Cycle Gold' mean?
It means the lock has undergone rigorous independent attack testing by Sold Secure and achieved their highest rating for pedal cycles, indicating a very high level of resistance against theft tools.
Can I use the D-lock and cable separately?
Yes, the D-lock can be used on its own for frame security, and the cable can be used to secure wheels or accessories in conjunction with the D-lock.
How do I attach the carrying bracket to my bike?
The bracket typically uses screws that fit into your bike's bottle cage bosses. Consult your bike's manual or a local bike shop if you are unsure about mounting.
Is the D-lock heavy?
The D-lock weighs 1.57kg, which is typical for a high-security lock. It is designed to be carried on the bike using the provided bracket.
What is the warranty period for this lock?
Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's information for specific warranty details, as warranty periods can vary.
How long is the security cable?
The steel security cable is 1800mm (1.8 meters) long and 10mm in diameter.
What materials are used in the D-lock?
The D-lock features a 13mm diameter hardened steel shackle and is constructed from tough, hardened steel with a durable, weatherproof finish.
Troubleshooting
D-lock is difficult to open or close
Ensure the key is fully inserted and turned correctly. Clean the keyhole and cylinder using a graphite-based lubricant. Check for any debris in the lock mechanism.
Key will not turn in the lock
Verify that the shackle is fully aligned and not under tension. Try gently wiggling the key or the shackle while turning. Ensure the correct key is being used.
Frame bracket feels loose
Re-tighten the screws securing the bracket to the bike frame. Ensure the screws are appropriately sized for your frame's mounting points.
Cable coating is damaged
While the steel core remains secure, a damaged coating can lead to scratches on your bike. Consider replacing the cable or using additional protection like cloth wrap if the damage is minor. Report significant damage to the retailer or manufacturer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Squire Nevis D-Lock & Cable Set comes ready to use. The D-lock includes a frame bracket that can be attached to your bike's frame, typically using the bottle cage mounts. Ensure the bracket is securely fastened before riding.
Compatibility: The D-lock's dimensions (230mm vertical clearance, 115mm horizontal clearance) and the 1800mm cable length are designed to fit most standard bicycle frames and allow for locking to a variety of fixed objects like bike racks, lamp posts, and railings. The lock is suitable for securing bicycles, electric scooters, and other valuable outdoor equipment.
Care: To maintain the lock's functionality and durability:
- Cleaning: Wipe the D-lock and cable with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Lubrication: Periodically (e.g., every few months, or if the lock feels stiff), apply a graphite-based lubricant to the keyhole to keep the cylinder moving smoothly. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
- Storage: When not in use, ensure the lock and cable are stored properly, either on the bike using the bracket or in a bag, to prevent damage or excessive dirt accumulation. Ensure the cable's PVC coating remains intact to prevent scratches.
