Frequently Asked Questions

What do Abus security levels mean?

Abus rates their locks from 1 to 15, with higher numbers indicating greater security. Levels 1-5 suit low-risk environments, 6-10 for medium risk with moderate-value bikes, and 11-15 for high-risk locations or expensive motorcycles and bicycles. Always match the security level to your vehicle's value and local theft risk.

Are Abus locks insurance-approved?

Many Abus locks carry Sold Secure ratings (Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Diamond) and meet insurance company requirements. Check your policy's specific requirements, but Gold and Diamond-rated Abus products are widely accepted by UK insurers for motorcycle and high-value bicycle cover.

How do I maintain my Abus lock?

Regularly spray the key cylinder with PTFE-based lubricant (avoid oil-based products which attract dirt). Clean the shackle and body with a damp cloth, and store keys separately. In coastal areas, rinse the lock periodically to prevent salt corrosion.
