Axa frame locks
All Gazelles and many other city bikes are equipped with a frame lock fitted at the rear of the bike, which immobilises the rear wheel at the flick of a lever. This extremely useful feature means that an opportunist thief will have to carry your pride and joy away - no mean feat with a Dutch bike! If you use it in conjunction with a good D-lock, you have great security.
Your frame lock always comes with 2 keys bearing the same unique serial number defining the key design. This serial number is essential to obtain copies of your key. You should keep a note of the serial number of your keys in the event of your losing one or both of them. If you are stuck, we should be able to help out as we keep a note of your key number on your account.
Obtaining key copies is a straightforward and secure transaction between you and Axa-Basta in Holland. Here's how:
Go to the Axa-Basta online key ordering service.
Follow the steps as required, namely.....
- Enter your key number.
- Choose the lock type and the number of copies you would like. There is a guide available here, or we can help.
- Input your personal details, address and contact details.
- Check everything is how you want it.
- Pay!
- You will receive an email confirmation with an order number. As with any web trade, it's probably worth keeping hold of the order number, should something go awry. You should receive your new key(s) within a few days. We've been using them for years and never had any problems with them.
