Bike Locks Buying Guide




The easiest way to judge the security of a lock is to check its Sold Secure Rating. Sold Secure has developed a three tier security grading system. The Gold rated locking devices offer the highest level of security.
1.   D Locks. Regarded as the most durable lock available. If you are using a D Lock to secure your frame, you should use a cable lock in tandem to secure the wheels.
2.   Chain Locks. The locking system can be key based. Sold Secure ratings apply.
3.   Cable Locks, are more flexible than chain locks and tend to come in longer lengths, allowing greater versatility.
4.   Ground Anchors. Recent studies suggest many riders with high value bikes never purchase a lock because they never need to lock a bike when out riding.
5.   Alternative Lock Designs and Styles:

a.   Hiplok. Locks can be big and heavy and often look unaesthetic on a bike. Hiplok have come up with the unique solution of a wearable lock.

b.   Security kits. No lock is 100% secure and if the worst does happen, using a marking kit such as Datatag can help the Police identify your bike should it be recovered.
