How can I maintain my steel cable lock to extend its life?

1. Regular cleaning
Use a clean rag or brush to regularly remove dust, sand and other dirt on the surface of the steel cable locks to prevent these debris from causing wear or corrosion to the lock.
When cleaning, avoid using chemical detergents or abrasive substances to avoid damaging the protective film on the surface of the lock.

2. Lubrication and maintenance
Regularly apply an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to the lock cylinder and moving parts of the steel cable locks, such as lock-specific lubricating oil or anti-rust lubricant, to reduce friction, keep the lock running smoothly, and prevent rust.
When applying lubricating oil, do not apply excessively to prevent oil stains from contaminating the lock or affecting the flexibility of the lock cylinder.

3. Avoid harsh environments
Try to avoid exposing the steel cable locks to a humid environment for a long time to prevent the lock from getting damp and rusting. If it must be used in a humid environment, a high-quality steel cable locks with anti-rust treatment should be selected, and it should be cleaned and maintained in time after use.
Avoid exposing the steel cable locks to a high temperature environment for a long time to prevent the lock material from aging or deformation.

4. Correct use
When using the steel cable locks, avoid hitting or forcibly rotating the lock core with hard objects to avoid damaging the lock.
Moderate use: Avoid frequent unlocking and locking operations to reduce wear and tear on the lock.

5. Regular inspection
Regularly check whether there is dirt or dust accumulation inside the lock core. If necessary, use lubricant to clean and lubricate.
Regularly check whether there is deformation, cracks or broken wires on the surface of the cable, and find problems in time and repair or replace them.

6. Storage precautions
When storing the steel cable locks, choose a dry and ventilated environment to prevent the lock from getting damp and rusting.
Do not put heavy objects on the steel cable locks to avoid damaging the lock or affecting its service life.
