Essential Maintenance Tips for BC Locks

The Milenco BC Lock is designed to be simple and durable, but a few habits will help it keep protecting your vehicle reliably.

Keep the cylinder clear

The lock uses a high-security cylinder that's drill and cutter resistant. Wiping it down occasionally and keeping it free of grit helps the key turn smoothly, particularly if the vehicle is stored outdoors.

Look after the foam base

Every BC Lock has a high-quality protective foam base to prevent scuffing the pedals. Check it's still seated correctly each time you fit the lock, so it continues doing its job of protecting the pedal surfaces rather than the lock body sitting directly on them.

Store your keys sensibly

The lock is supplied with three keys. It's worth keeping one as a spare in a safe place away from the vehicle, since a lost key set for a drill and cutter resistant lock isn't something you can easily work around.

Fit it every time

The lock fits in seconds, which removes any excuse not to use it. As a Police Recommended, Sold Secure Gold approved device, it only protects the vehicle when it's actually fitted — leaving it in a locker while parked up defeats the purpose.

Double-check compatibility after any vehicle change

Because BC Locks are matched to specific vehicles, model years and transmissions, if you ever change vehicles, confirm your existing lock is still the correct version rather than assuming it will fit.
