Folding lock ABUS 62104

The ABUS 62104 is a folding lock manufactured in Germany for securing bicycles in urban environments. Weighing 550 g, it features a keyed cylinder and is supplied with two keys. Its compact, foldable construction reduces bulk in transit while offering a rigid multi-joint locking bar system designed to resist twisting and cutting attempts. The lock balances portability and robust materials to protect your bike during short stops and daily commutes.

Advantages

The compact folding design allows convenient storage in a backpack or mounted bracket without taking excessive space. A keyed lock cylinder provides controlled access and the inclusion of two keys ensures a spare is available. The multi-segment steel bars deliver a high stiffness-to-weight ratio, making the lock a practical option when a lightweight yet durable security device is needed. German manufacturing and quality control contribute to consistent build quality.

Suitable for

• Securing city bikes during short stops and errands
• Commuter bicycles left at stations or workplaces
• Use where a compact, portable lock is preferred over heavy chain or U-lock options
• Bikes stored outdoors in low- to medium-risk areas when combined with additional security measures

Key specifications

• Lock type: folding lock with multiple steel segments linked by riveted joints
• Weight: approximately 550 g
• Locking mechanism: keyed cylinder; supplied with two keys

How to use

To secure your bicycle, unfold the lock segments and wrap the assembled bar around the frame and a fixed anchor point such as a bike rack or pole. Insert the locking end into the cylinder and turn the key to engage the lock. Remove the key after locking and store it in a safe place; keep the spare key separate. When not in use, fold the segments back into their compact position and stow the lock in a bag or mount it in an appropriate carrier.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pass the folding lock through the bike frame and at least one wheel, and secure it to an immovable object. Combine this folding lock with a cable or secondary lock if left unattended in higher-risk areas. Regularly lubricate the key cylinder with a dry lubricant to maintain smooth operation and avoid forcing the key when turning.
