It was easy to lock and unlock in my experience
It’s robust and much better than expected plus very good size
I deal for that expensive e-bike and necessary for valid insurance protection. Used it on a Specialized Levo Comp SL. Purchased this size to make sure it fitted the dimensions of the bike frame. Unfortunately I had to buy two of them to securely Lock the Frame and back wheel to an immovable object and used the second to lock the front wheel to the frame and first D-Lock. Price was reasonable compared to the value of the item I was trying to protect from theft. Two keys that are specific to the lock and not universal, was easy to Lock and the sturdiness of the build was excellent.
Bought this product as SECURE SOLD so complies with the requirements of my bike insurance. It can be a little tricky to lock occasionally in the dark, otherwise really happy with it and if my bike
now covered re insurance then job done !
Very easy to use and secure item to rails. The key to lock and unlock is easy to use too!
Very well made, it is strong and is probably a good deterrent to the opportunist or casual thief. At least it gives some peace of mind down the local shops.
A determined thief will come prepared.
Great addition to my motorcycle safety, anti theft devices, good solid lock, easy to use.
Secure lock ever. Buy it in this low prize. Hard to stole for thieves. I’m using ebike in delivery purposes from last 1 year.
If you have a really expensive bicycle, or an ebike, please do not expect this lock to keep your bike safe for hours on end out in the public. You’ll need Sold Secure Gold for that or something even more secure like a 100+ lock that has at least 14mm hardened steel and decent quality padlock
However, if it is in a mildly secure area (a fenced work place for example) and locked, it should be okay.
The lock itself is quite heavy, as it should be being hardened steel.
Personally I’ve not had any issues with the lock mechanism, but I see some users have.
The lock is long enough to go through the spokes of the wheels and frame, or to secure the frame and wheel to something else quite sturdy.
Would I leave an expensive ebike locked [to something solid] with this outside a coffee shop where I can see it? Yes.
Lock it and pop in to grab a newspaper and some milk? Yes?
Would I leave an expensive ebike locked [to something solid] with this out in public whilst I pop off shopping somewhere? Hell no! It’s a 16 lock.
Would I leave a secondhand 60 ragged bike somewhere locked up with this? Yes, because I can replace the bike in a breeze if it does get stolen and most people probably won’t even be interested in the bike.
Would I recommend this lock? Yes
Would I buy it again? Yes, in fact I have! I gave the first one I purchased to someone who needed it more than I.
Should you buy this lock? Depends. If you want to leave your bike in a public space and it attracts attention by being expensive or electric, then probably not. If you just want to lock your bike up at work, that has a secure-ish yard, or at school in the bike racks then perhaps so. Although Sold Secure Gold it doesn’t come with any guarantees that someone will not steal your bike!
I’d say this lock is fair value for money so long as you reduce your expectations based on the price. Compared to other locks giving the same kind of protection this lock is at least 50% cheaper, for some even closer to 200%!
Not the best & shackle can be hard to lock, but you get what you pay for & it’s kept my bike and safe so far…
Good value for money. Key is a little tricky to get right when inserting but like the fact that the locking system is on the side not on the end as some others are. VERY HEAVY. This didnt bother me as I carry it in my pannier bag but if not it is weighty compared to others Ive had.
I lost my kryptonite and replaced it with this for so much less. It’s got the same independent credentials (gold sold secure). The lock is a tiny bit stiff but I chucked some chain lube in it and nay problemo
Very heavy duty bike lock with a nice and easy mechanism. My only gripe is that the frame attachment is not very secure, the lock does ‘click’ into it but can fall out when riding over bumpy ground. I’ve added a velcro strap as backup just in case
The product seems of good quality. After reading some of the other reviews I was a bit apprehensive, but I am happy with the product. Been using it regularly and the key turns easily, slides in and out with ease. Would def recommend
This is as good as any D lock I’ve had. The key’s a bit fiddly to use.
So you see a lock for this price and assume it’s trash but no, believe the hype. I have three Burg-Wchter locks, the three sizes available here, and I fully believe they are Sold Secure Gold quality at a fraction of the price of similar Kryptonite or similar brands.
I haven’t used the bracket, which seems to be flimsy by other reviews, so I won’t comment on it, but for the lock alone I can’t recommend them enough. I left a bike overnight in a high traffic part of my city and it was fine when I came back.
I am happy to trust my pricey gravel bike to this lock and happy to recommend it to anyone who asks.
This is a good quality if heavy lock. I carry it around in a back pack as the bracket it comes supplied with doesn’t fit any of the tubes of my bike.
It was worth spending a little extra to get a quality bike lock and this is well made and feels solid.
I picked the larger lock size as it’s useful sometimes for attaching to different sized bike racks or metal poles, fences etc. It also makes it possible to lock my bike to my son’s bike when we go out for a ride and want to leave them safely somewhere. This thing is absolutely as solid as you can get, total quality, would totally recommend. So many people have 600 bikes and use a 3 combi lock to secure them. Don’t do that anymore, you should invest in one like this!
Good value sold secure product. I opted for the smaller lightweight version so that it is easier to carry on my small 14″ wheel e-bike.
VERY STRONG (AND HEAVY); the clip for mounting is the opposite, unfortunately; still very good value.
I followed the advice from another review to spray the inside of the lock with wd40 before use. And it’s been perfect.
Very sturdy Lock and easy to use at a really good price
great lock.long for even for a motorbike wheel.or 3 push bikes.german made good stuff..
It’s a lock, that’s rated high enough for my bikes insurance policy. Hopefully it does its job when required!
Let’s face it, if anyone comes along with an angle grinder, they’ll be through this or any other D Lock in a few minutes.
But they will make a lot of noise and draw a lot of attention.
And also assuming a lock picker like The Lock Picking Lawyer wouldn’t have it open in a minute flat.
But there’s not many with skills like that about really.
It’s a much longer than normal shackled D lock and it is much better at being able to lock my back wheel and frame to a railing or rack than my existing big heavy D Lock.
So now I’ve got two big heavy D Locks and two cable locks.
Hopefully that’s enough to make the average bike thief move on and steal the other poor sod’s bike instead of mine!
Unfortunately a few scumbags make it an ever increasing arms race to protect our bikes when we walk away from them.
It’s a good lock and it was very good value.
had the lock for 2 months now, sturdy, the mount is not very secure if you hit rough grounds, the lock fell once so I tied it with a rubber band + the mount for extra security. it didn’t fall after that.
it gives me the ease of mind when leaving my bike. I recommend it .
Sturdy lock with two keys. Protective latch for where the key goes to lock and unlock. Hoping this can withstand the cold weather during winter.
I’ve awarded 4/5 stars because it’s early days and I’m erring on the side of caution because I bought a cable lock from another seller that was a total disaster.
First impressions of this D lock is that it is sturdy and VERY HEAVY as I opted for the medium sized lock! I won’t be using this on my local rural adventures. I bought it for when visiting busy towns and cities.
The key seems well designed because you can’t put it in the wrong way round and I’ve had no problems repeatedly locking and unlocking the D Lock.
First impressions are that it would take time to cut through the shank even with an angle grinder. It would certainly be a deterrent to a casual thief, but nothing is impossible for a well equipped ‘professional thief’.
Probably my best buy on Amazon for bike security was a motion sensor alarm. It’s loud and highly effective and doubles as a ‘hooter’ instead of a conventional bicycle bell. I would strongly encourage you to search for that on Amazon whilst purchasing D locks and security cables.
I don’t normally do reviews but had to say that whilst at work I lock my bike in the back alley. Didn’t realise security gate was broken as put bike through building. CCTV showed some toerag spending 5 mins with an angle grinder trying to cut the bar of the lock. They got about halfway and ran off. Buying another as saved me from losing my bike.
It’s a solid lock, a good size for frame/wheel/rack, but might struggle to go round lamp posts. It’s weighty, which is reassuring, but because of that you’d want it frame mounted (which works quite well) or in a pannier rather than a backpack or trying to hold it.
I feel very comfort locking my bike with this in public. Feels very safe and secure.
Came back to the station to find my bike with tamper marks on my previous locks and didn’t look like they were a million miles away from getting through so wanted a really strong lock to give me some confidence back. Haven’t used it yet but feels extremely strong and sturdy so I’ll be feeling happier about locking my bike up again!
This bike lock is very strong and Sturdy. Well worth the money.
Good quality solid lock which should deter the local bicycle thieves.
A heavy duty lock that does the job to deter thieves from stealing bike. Lock is quite heavy to carry around so probably worth using it as a home lock.
This lock is very similar to a lock I purchased from Halford, but more than 3 times cheaper!
No apparent difference in quality.
I recommend this Produc
Good value, impressive lock. Holder does not fit to my full suspension mountain bike so it has to go in my back pack and it is very heavy.
Seems like a solid lock, it’s long, which is useful for what I wanted it for, but it does potentially mean that it could be leveraged open easier than a small one.
Still a good lock for the price, especially if insurance requires sold secure rating.
As most people mention in their reviews, they cannot get the mechanism to lock. Easy fix is to spray some WD40 into the keyhole and the locking mechanism and just like magic the problem is fixed.
Pros : Price. Much cheaper than other brands but exactly the same locking mechanism.
Cons : Will not lock properly when you first try to use it. They should include a small bottle of WD40 when you buy this lock, as that will solve all the problems.
Easy to use and big enough to fit around Dutch bike frame and wheel
I bought this as it is a requirement for my bike insurance and although I only needed silver standard, this gold one was available for around the same price as silver but offering a higher level of protection. I have been able to attach it to my bike and will use it if I am leaving my bike anywhere outside home (e.g. at the shops).
I wanted a lock with keys as the combination locks tend to fail after a while. I’m seriously impressed with the sturdiness and the fact that there are plenty of spare keys. It’s quite heavy but that’s not a problem for me
When it arrived I could not believe how small it is. It JUST locks wheel to frame ! You need a BIGGER LOCK to attach your bike to railings on the street. Fiddly lock mechanism . Pay more, buy bigger.
Perfect for kids biking to school and locking then up
great piece of kit to ensure bike is secure when left at the biking park
Been using this u-lock for a while now and have had no issues. Good price, look good and would happily buy again!
I am happy that I have the right one and size and I feel it’s just the job to keep things safe
Very heavy, not for touring but perfectly safe for stationary use.
This lock is huge and is quite heavy. Bought it for son’s bike. Too big to hang on bike but very secure. I have seen it at a much higher price in bike retailer.
Very heavy but so far doing a fantastic job of keeping thieves away. Having had 2 bikes stolen in last 2 years including 1 almost brand new we now have this lock an alarm and insurance. As the lock is insurance rated above what our policy requires I feel safe in the knowledge that should it be breached the insurance will still cover us. Highly recommend
Very solid lock. Outstanding quality for the price paid. It is quite heavy, but as long as you can carry it in a rucksack or pannier bag it will provide a high security solution whenever you need it.
Easy to use. The key and lock work smoothly. Very good value for a gold secure rated cycle lock.
I bought to secure my Ketter garden store but it was too big and had to return. However it seemed a good lock for bikes etc.
Compared to similar items this product represents great value for money
I have recommended to friends who have gone on to purchase
Good quality produc
Seems solid enough. Like most locks you hope it doesnt get tested to its full potential.
Item is very sturdy, easy to use and comes with a secure gold approval.
Excellent very sturdy, I have 4 and only one was a little temperamental, but it seems to have sorted itself out with use.
Solid lock at a very reasonable price which meets insurance companies criteria.
The lock is very big, bought for a Carrera mountain bike but would not fit the frame as was way too big, also the mountain bracket was too small for the frame so unless you have a skinny mountain bike with a huge frame avoid.
It took a while to get used to this lock but because it can be fiddly but it’s definitely secure
its a helluva tough lock, the mount looks a bit flimsy but wont fit on my frame anyway. My beef is that I cant get the key to turn without loads of fiddling, Ive ordered some graphite, (dont put oil in locks) so we shall see.
Bought it after my d lock oxford silver (50) was cut in less than 10 seconds by a portable electric saw. Cheap but pretty strong. Also very easy to fix on the bike, just need to be positioned perpendicularly considering the frame otherwise will come off the bike.
This lock is a bit heavy and sometimes is hard to open it.
The locking mechanism is a bit flimsy.
But overall works well.
very good quality and looks strong and does the job required
The lock can be a bit tricky but it’s very secure on the bike so I’ve no complaints. I can’t imagine a thief being able to steal my bike with this lock on it, it’s very thick & a really good deterrent..
Great lock but wish is was that bit longer.
The mount doesn’t fit around my bike which is disappointing.
Good value for money
Good strong sturdy D lock.It’s a bit awkward to open I have found but very happy with it.
Gold protection for this price is amazing and it’s easy to carry
I was amazed how sturdy and heavy this is. I Attached it to rear fork and wheel of bike, with a cable attaching both wheels to bicycle rack. Mile bike every, very heavy. First time I have locked it up whilst visiting busy Health Centre.
Locks and unlocks quite easily. 4 keys provided. Standard required by Insurance Companies.
It is a heavy lock onpy thing dont like is how it wobbles when locked
Great value for an approved D-lock. Yes, you can pay for for a Kryptonite etc, but this this will do the job (for me, anyway), in conjunction with other security measures on my eBike (chains / wire-loops / disk-locks / alarm ;-). Recommended.
Very good quality lock. It will definitely deter thieves. 16mm thick. Heavy , it’s almost 2 kg.
I used it for 5 months and now I cannot unlock it. The lock got jammed, out of nowhere, I tried both keys and nothing. Was late for work this morning as I tried for 20 minutes. NOTHING! What do I do now? Where is this gold secure standard when you need it to cover cases like this?
I bought this as I needed to leave my bike in a public place a couple times a week.
The construction feels really good, it has a good weight to it. The lock mount to the bike is plastic, and if anything a tiny bit flimsy for my liking. Don’t get me wrong, it does the job of securing the lock while you are riding, but had it been made of metal I would have a lot more piece of mind in that component.
Its seem tough and of good quality comparable to more expensive items
Deserves 5 stars, sturdy and easy to lock. Btw I am using it to lock metal gate.
There’s not much to say about a security bolt, except that it does the job well!
Very solid lock, long enough to attach bike comfortably to anything through the back wheel and frame. Never had problems with the key.
Very substantial cycle lock which thieves will have a hard job to beat.
I am very happy with this product and am convinced I will still have my mountain bike for many years.
Good product works great for what we brought it for which is to lock are bikes up in the garage
A very strong looking D lock and good value for money. Somewhat heavy but not unexpected for a lock classified as Gold standard. For locking and unlocking the process is completely manual.
Seems a very robust lock and good value. No problems with it so far.
A Secure Gold approved lock, for a fraction of the price of the big brands. It is heavy, but good locks are.
very thick and safe, doesn’t rust like the other D locks I’ve bought.
Arrived next day well packaged as promised, unlocks very smoothly and overall does the job well
