- Cleaning: Wipe the cable and lock body with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of graphite-based lubricant or a specialized lock lubricant into the keyhole to keep the mechanism working smoothly. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
