How many keys come with my lock?

What size U-lock should I choose?

Security & Protection

Are Via Velo locks resistant to cutting and theft?

Yes! Our locks are made with hardened steel and anti-theft technology to resist cutting, leverage attacks, and drilling. However, any lock can be cut—it depends on how long it takes to break it. The security level is measured by the Sold Secure rating system: Diamond, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Our locks are tested to meet high-security standards to delay theft attempts as long as possible.

👉 To maximize security, we recommend checking our [Via Velo Security Map] to understand how long you can safely leave your bike locked in different locations.

Is this lock Sold Secure rated?

Key & Lock Issues

What should I do if I lose all my keys?

If you've registered your keys with us, you shall place an order for replacement keys. If not, you will need to replace the lock with a new one.

My key is difficult to turn. What should I do?

Try applying a small amount of graphite lubricant (avoid oil-based lubricants) into the keyhole to improve smoothness. If the issue persists, please contact our support team.
