4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ROCKBROS Anti-Theft Bike Cable Lock, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the lock body and cable with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the PVC coating.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of graphite powder or a silicone-based lubricant into the keyhole and locking mechanism. This helps maintain smooth operation and prevents corrosion, especially in humid environments.
• Storage: When not in use, store the lock in a dry place to prevent excessive exposure to moisture.
• Rustproof Feature: The lock is designed to be rustproof, but proper care will further extend its lifespan.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your lock, consider the following:

• Key Difficulty: If the key is difficult to insert or turn, ensure it is fully inserted and try wiggling it gently. Do not force the key. Apply lubricant to the keyhole if stiffness persists.
• Lock Mechanism Sticking: If the latch does not engage or disengage smoothly, apply a small amount of lubricant to the moving parts of the locking mechanism.
• Lost Keys: If all keys are lost, the lock cannot be opened without specialized tools, which may damage the lock. It is recommended to keep a spare key in a secure location.
