Today we are going to show you part number 8351D from Master Lock. This is their Smart
Bracket Universal U-Lock and Cable Lock carrier bracket. One bracket comes with each of these,
and it is fairly simple onto install onto a bike. You simply just put it on the frame,
you slide your lock in through the mechanism there, and we will show you how all that is
done momentarily. But first we are going to show you how this actually operates. Now,
as you can see here, the brackets go in through the back here. You can see, this is where
you tighten them up with a flathead screwdriver, like so. Righty tighty, lefty loosey. After
you remove this from the bracket itself, this is what you will be fitting the locking mechanism
through. Like this, it operates with flathead screws, which allow you to open it as wide
as you need to for whatever you need to. Now, just on a quick note here, it comes with two
of these top parts here, one for 12-mm diameter and smaller or the larger 13-mm diameter and
larger. But for our purposes today we will only be needing the 12. We are just going
to attach a common bike lock. I will show you how it works.
Okay now I am going to go ahead and put this on our bike. Usually pick a nice clean area
of the frame. We are going to use this area here. You simply slide it around and make
sure you do not go over the cable. And then simply put it into the slots back, on the
back side here, as we showed earlier, and then tighten down with these two screws here.
It is just about tightened as far as we can go. At this point it is probably good to adjust
it kind of where you want it to be. And notice the excess, here. At this point you would
actually be slicing this off. Take a pair of scissors, a shears, whatever you can find
to cut these pieces off to make sure it is always secure to your bike, and your bike
alone. Now we are going to go ahead and show you what this portion does, here. To get this
off, you simply just push up and it slides right off. I will show you how to tighten
this down and what you can put inside of it. Okay, now that we have gotten everything tightened
up, you tighten up the lock, using these screws here. Just use a regular flathead screwdriver
like before. And then you just slide the lock into place until you hear it click, and everything
is all set to go. And there you have it for part number 8351D from Master Lock, their
Smart Bracket Universal U-Lock and Cable Lock carrier bracket.
