Key Features

• Universal Compatibility: The lock is engineered to fit a wide range of Thule bike carriers, including models 9502, 9503, 9708, 972, and 974. Its adjustable design ensures a secure fit on both front and rear mounting points.
• High‑Security Cylinder: Equipped with a hardened steel cylinder that resists drilling, picking, and cutting attempts. The lock’s keyway is designed to deter common lock‑picking tools.
• Weather‑Resistant Construction: Made from corrosion‑resistant alloy and sealed housing, the lock withstands rain, snow, and humidity without compromising performance.
• Compact & Lightweight: Weighing under 300 g, the lock adds minimal bulk to your bike carrier setup while providing maximum security.
• Easy‑to‑Use Mechanism: The keyless entry system allows for quick locking and unlocking with a simple twist of the handle. A secondary key slot is available for backup access.

Installation & Usage Instructions

1. Positioning: Place the lock over the carrier’s mounting bracket, aligning the lock’s latch with the designated locking point on the bike rack frame.
2. Securing: Turn the handle clockwise until the lock engages fully. The latch will lock into place, preventing any movement of the bike rack relative to the vehicle.
3. Key Management: Store the key in a secure location on your bike or within a hidden compartment of your carrier. For added security, consider using a secondary key for emergency access.
4. Removal: To unlock, insert the key and turn counterclockwise until the latch releases. The lock can be removed from the rack without damaging any components.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect the lock for signs of wear or corrosion. Clean with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris.
• Avoid exposing the lock to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods; store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• If you notice any looseness in the latch mechanism, tighten the mounting screws gently with an Allen wrench. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the lock housing.
