Spiral cable bike lock FISCHER with alarm and key lock, anthracite

The FISCHER spiral cable bike lock in anthracite combines a flexible coiled cable with a keyed cylinder lock and an integrated audible alarm. Designed for everyday urban cycling, the compact spiral design keeps the cable manageable when not in use and allows riders to secure both frame and wheels to fixed objects. The integrated alarm adds a layer of theft deterrence by sounding if the lock is tampered with.

Advantages

The spiral cable construction provides flexibility and compact storage while allowing for a longer reach around bike frames, wheels, and common street fixtures. The keyed cylinder lock gives a simple mechanical locking method without relying on batteries for the primary lock function. The built-in alarm activates on tampering and offers an additional audible deterrent. The anthracite finish is neutral and resistant to showing dirt from everyday use.

Suitable for

• Short stops in urban environments such as running errands, coffee shop breaks, or quick commutes
• Securing the frame and one or both wheels to bike racks, poles, or railings
• Cyclists who prioritize a lightweight, portable locking solution with added alarm protection

When it may not be suitable

This spiral cable lock is intended as a deterrent for opportunistic theft and for short-term parking; it is not designed to resist determined or professional theft attempts using cutting tools. For long-term parking in high-risk areas, a heavier-duty lock such as a U-lock or chain lock made of hardened steel would offer greater physical protection.

Key specifications

• Lock type: spiral cable with keyed cylinder and integrated alarm
• Color: anthracite
• Intended use: securing bicycle frame and wheels to fixed objects
• Portability: compact, coiled design for easy transport
• Alarm: audible tamper alarm integrated into the lock housing

How to use

Wrap the spiral cable around the frame and wheel(s) and through or around a fixed object, then insert and turn the key in the cylinder to lock. Ensure the cable is routed so it cannot be easily slipped off the secured object. If the alarm has an arm/disarm procedure, follow the manufacturer instructions to arm it after locking; the alarm will sound if the lock is forcibly tampered with or moved. Keep the key in a secure place and consider carrying a spare key.

What to consider before purchase

• Level of security required based on parking location and duration
• Whether a keyed cylinder lock meets your preference versus combination or smart locks
• Portability needs: coil size and weight for carrying on the bike or in a bag
• Alarm sensitivity and whether audible deterrence is suitable for your environment

Usage recommendations

Use this spiral cable lock for short urban stops where convenience and added audible deterrence are important. Combine with a secondary, more robust lock for longer or higher-risk parking. Regularly inspect the cable and lock mechanism for wear and ensure the alarm mechanism remains functional according to the manufacturer’s maintenance guidance.
