Cable lock

The cable lock is a locking device used to secure bicycles, computers, USB devices, and other valuables. It utilizes high-strength steel wire rope or cable as the lock core with a reliable lock and combination lock mechanism to provide an effective anti-theft solution.

Features and functions of cable lock

There are five major features of cable lock. Firstly, most cable locks are made of high-strength materials. The wire rope or steel cable of cable locks are usually made of high-strength stainless steel materials with excellent shear and tensile resistance, which can effectively resist vandalism, such as lock picking and shearing. Secondly, the use of combination lock mechanism. Cable locks are usually equipped with a digital combination lock mechanism, allowing users to set up personal passwords according to their needs to improve security. Compared with traditional key locks, combination cable locks are more convenient and less likely to be lost. Additionally, cable locks offer a wide range of length and diameter options to suit different scenarios and needs. Longer bicycle lock cables can easily lock bike frames and fixtures, while shorter cables are suitable for locking small items, for instance, USB locks. Another common feature is that cable locks are usually designed to be lightweight and easy to carry. Some cable locks are also equipped with portable carabiners that allow the lock to be secured to the bike frame for easy access. Cable lock also has multiple uses. In addition to being used for bicycle security, security cable locks can also be used to secure valuable items such as computers, USB devices, luggage, and more.

How to use cable lock

People can learn to use cable lock by following next four steps. 1. Set password: When using the cable lock for the first time, users must set their password according to the instructions. Generally, the password needs to contain numbers and letters and be complex enough in length to increase security. 2.
