A versatile lock with built-in alarm system that provides exceptional security for high-value items. Use it to secure bicycles, motorbikes, sheds. Ideal to use in conjunction with a Kovix KCB-180 cable. Can I choose to have the lock alarmed or not alarmed? Yes, when you're locking the padlock you can slide the pin into place normally and it will set the alarm to ON, you'll hear two beeps. If instead, you push the pin in slowly you'll hear two beeps and the alarm will be deactivated until you next lock the padlock.
