Setting Your Combination
The initial factory password for your ROCKBROS RKS570 lock is 00000. Follow these steps to set your personalized 5-digit combination:
- Align the dials to the initial password (00000).
- Locate the reset knob (often a small cylinder or button) on the lock mechanism. Turn this knob clockwise to the designated position.
- While the knob is in the reset position, set your desired 5-digit combination by rotating the number dials.
- Turn the reset knob counter-clockwise back to its original position to confirm the new password.
- Important: Take a photo or write down your new combination. The lock cannot be reset without the current combination.

Operating the Lock
To lock your item, wrap the cable around the item you wish to secure and a fixed, immovable object (e.g., a bike rack, pole). Insert the free end of the cable into the lock mechanism. Once inserted, scramble the number dials to secure the lock and prevent unauthorized opening.
To unlock, align the number dials to your previously set 5-digit combination. The lock mechanism will release, allowing you to remove the cable and free your item.

Maintenance and Care
The ROCKBROS RKS570 lock features a thickened PVC cover and a rubber paint finish, providing water-repellent and anti-rust properties. To ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your lock, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Keep the lock clean from dirt, dust, and debris. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the cable and lock mechanism.
- Protection: Avoid exposing the lock to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures for extended periods, which could degrade the protective coatings.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the steel cable and lock mechanism for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Replace the lock if significant damage is observed.
- Surface Care: The rubber paint finish is designed to be soft-touch and helps prevent scratches to your bicycle's paintwork. Handle with care to maintain this protective layer.

Troubleshooting
- Lock will not open: Ensure the dials are perfectly aligned with your set 5-digit combination. Even a slight misalignment can prevent the lock from opening. If the combination was recently changed, double-check the new sequence.
- Difficulty turning dials: Clean any dirt or grime from the dials and the gaps between them. A small amount of graphite powder or a silicone-based lubricant designed for locks can be applied if necessary. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust and debris.
- Forgot combination: The ROCKBROS RKS570 is designed with a high level of security, offering 100,000 possible combinations. There is no master key or backdoor to reset the combination if it is forgotten. It is crucial to remember or record your combination immediately after setting it.
