Installation Guide

The WBA 100 is engineered for both wall and floor mounting. Follow these steps to ensure a secure fit:

1. Select the Correct Surface: Concrete, brick, or solid masonry are recommended. Avoid soft substrates such as plaster or drywall.
2. Mark the Position: Use a pencil to indicate the center of the anchor hole. The standard size is 160 mm × 165 mm, but you can adjust for larger frames if needed.
3. Drill the Hole: Employ a masonry drill bit matching the anchor’s diameter (16 mm). Drill to the required depth, ensuring the hole is straight and clean.
4. Insert the Anchor: Gently tap the WBA 100 into place with a hammer until it sits flush against the surface. The steel body will expand slightly, creating a tight bond.
5. Secure the Lock: Attach your chain lock’s shackle to the anchor’s threaded head. Tighten firmly; the lock should sit snugly without wobble.

Applications and Use Cases

The versatility of the WBA 100 makes it suitable for a wide range of scenarios:

• Bicycle Security: Mount in garages, bike sheds, or outdoor storage areas to deter opportunistic theft.
• Motorcycle Protection: Ideal for street bikes, scooters, and ATVs that require robust anchoring points.
• Industrial Equipment: Secure heavy machinery or tools in workshops where high‑strength anchors are essential.
• Outdoor Installations: Use on patios, decks, or pergolas to attach garden equipment or recreational gear.

Maintenance Tips

To preserve the anchor’s integrity over time, consider the following care practices:

• Regular Inspection: Check for signs of corrosion or loosening every six months. Tighten as necessary.
• Avoid Over‑Tightening: Excessive force can damage the anchor’s threads; use a calibrated torque wrench if available.
• Protect from Moisture: If installed outdoors, apply a light coat of rust inhibitor to prevent oxidation.
