The Spiral Bicycle Lock with Key DUNLOP 65 cm (black) is a compact, coiled cable lock intended for everyday locking of children's and commuter bicycles. It features a keyed cylinder and a 65 cm spiral cable that stretches and wraps around bike frames, wheels and fixed objects. The flexible spiral design keeps the cable tidy when not in use and the key mechanism provides straightforward locking and unlocking for short stops in urban environments.
Advantages
This spiral bicycle lock combines portability with simple operation: the coiled cable reduces tangling and stores compactly in a bag or on a frame mount, while the keyed cylinder gives reliable manual control. Its length and flexibility allow wrapping around a variety of contact points such as poles, rails or bike racks. The black finish resists visible dirt and helps the lock blend with most bicycles.
Suitable for (tasks / use cases)
- Securing children's ride-ons and small urban bikes for short stops
- Everyday commutes where lightweight, compact locking is required
- Locking frame and rear wheel together to deter opportunistic theft
When it may not be suitable
This spiral cable lock is intended as a basic deterrent and convenience solution rather than as high-security protection. It may not withstand determined theft attempts or cutting tools designed for hardened locks. For long-term parking in high-risk areas, or when securing high-value bikes, a heavier-duty lock with hardened shackle or U-lock construction is advisable.
Key specifications
- Cable type: coiled/spiral cable
- Length (unstretched): 65 cm
- Lock mechanism: key-operated cylinder
- Colour: black
- Intended use: frame and wheel security for urban/commuter bicycles and children's ride-ons
How to use
Wrap the coiled cable around the bike frame and a fixed object or through the rear wheel, then insert the lock end into the keyed cylinder and turn the key to lock. To unlock, insert the matching key and rotate to release the cylinder. When unlocked, the spiral cable will retract to a compact shape for easy storage. Periodically check and clean the key cylinder to ensure smooth operation, and keep the spare key in a safe place.
What to consider before purchase
- Level of security required for your typical parking locations
- Compatibility of the 65 cm length with how and where you usually lock your bike
- Preference for key-based locking versus combination or U-lock alternatives
Usage recommendations
Use this spiral lock for short stops and low-risk situations: pair it with a more robust lock when leaving a bike unattended for longer periods or in high-theft areas. Store the keys separately and inspect the cable and cylinder regularly for wear or damage.
