Bike Lock AWTools cable lock Ø12 mm × 180 cm, model AW24068

The AWTools cable lock Ø12 mm × 180 cm, model AW24068, is a flexible security solution for bicycles and scooters. It features a 12 mm diameter steel cable sheathed in protective coating and a total length of 180 cm, allowing you to secure frames, wheels, and accessories to fixed objects such as racks, poles or railings. The cable design offers portability and easy handling for everyday urban use, storage, brief stops and multi-vehicle parking situations.

Advantages

The cable lock combines a heavy-gauge steel core with a protective outer coating to reduce the risk of scratches on paintwork while maintaining cut resistance appropriate for a cable-style lock. Its extended length allows versatile anchoring options, and the lock mechanism is compact for convenient transport. The flexible cable winds easily around irregular objects and stores without taking much space in a bag or on a luggage rack.

Suitable for

• Securing bicycles in urban environments during short stops
• Locking scooters, children’s ride-ons and other small vehicles
• Attaching wheels or frames to fixed structures like posts and racks
• Temporary storage in garages, sheds or communal parking areas

Key specifications

• Cable diameter: 12 mm steel core with protective coating
• Length: 180 cm total cable length for flexible anchoring
• Lock type: integrated cylinder mechanism with key operation
• Exterior: protective sleeve to minimise frame damage and corrosion exposure
• Weight: compact and portable for everyday carry

How to use

Wrap the cable around the frame and a fixed object or through wheel spokes as required, then insert the cable end into the lock cylinder and turn the key to engage. Choose an anchor point that minimises leverage and prevents easy removal; whenever possible, secure both the frame and at least one wheel. Store the key on your person or in a secure location when the lock is in use. Regularly inspect the cable coating and locking mechanism for wear or damage and keep the lock dry to prolong service life.

Usage recommendations

For best results combine this cable lock with a more robust U-lock or chain for long-term or high-risk parking. Use the full 180 cm length to loop through both frame and wheel when possible, and avoid leaving the lock exposed to prolonged moisture to reduce corrosion risk.
