Cable Lock Instructions

A cable lock is a wire-based device that helps lock devices in place. A cable lock is most often used on bicycles, but you can lock just about anything up (shed doors, electronic equipment, etc.) with the aid of a cable lock. It is a rather straightforward device, as the lock opens with either a key or combination (depending on the model of lock you are using), then snaps back together by inserting the two open pieces together.

Instructions

    • 1

      Wrap the cable lock around the device you want secured and a stationary device. For example, secure a bicycle to bike rack or tree, or a computer to a desk, or two doors together.

    • 2

      Push the two open areas of the lock together. This snaps the lock into place.

    • 3

      Twist the combination on the lock to prevent anyone from opening the lock.

    • 4

      Open the cable lock by inserting the key into the lock and turning the key to the left. If the lock is combination-based, adjust the display numbers to the correct combination and pull. This opens the lock.
