TRUSTED SECURITY

The Lock chain combination is an excellent choice when it comes to securing your bike, moped, scooter and motorbike. Its flexibility means the lock-chain combination is very convenient and offer many ways of locking your bicycle to fixed objects. A bike that is secured in this way cannot simply be picked up and carried away – which is a real security advantage.

Consumers have lots of choice for two-wheeled vehicle locks. Combination locks are basically for use when you have to open an enclosed area frequently and you are afraid that you’ll forget or lose a key. But most combination locks can be opened in a few seconds by finessing the lock,and they are all susceptible to brute-force attacks.

Folding locks slightly more fiddly to use than either a U-lock or a chain lock, but it takes a little bit longer to unfold.And they’re less likely to function as well after a vigorous attack. Damaged rivets or bent plates will stop it folding up properly! Most importantly, so they tend to be slightly less secure than U-locks that have the same security rating. This is because the plates are thinner than U-lock and the rivets are susceptible to attacks with drills or bolt cutters.

A cable lock is an open invite to casual thieves with common hand tools to steal your bike. Cable locks can be defeated by small bolt cutters in no time flat, a tool that is easily carried in a small backpack. U-locks are more secure than cable bike locks. A (good) U-lock is much harder to defeat, especially if your lock up is on point.

A cable can be suitable in conjunction with a good U-lock to secure your front wheel. More suitable is a chain, like the OKG security chain which can't be defeated by most anything shy of an angle grinder.
