4. Setup

The Philips 105 Iron Padlock comes pre-assembled and ready for use. No complex setup is required.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your Philips 105 Iron Padlock.

• Lubrication: Periodically (e.g., every 6-12 months, or more frequently in harsh environments), apply a small amount of graphite powder or a silicone-based lubricant into the keyhole and along the shackle. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the padlock with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt and grime. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
