6. Maintenance

- Apply a small amount of PTFE-based lubricant into the keyway.
- Check for any debris in the keyway and carefully remove it.
7.2 Lock mechanism is stiff
- Lubricate the internal locking mechanism with a PTFE-based lubricant.
- Ensure the chain end link is fully seated in the lock head before attempting to turn the key.
