ONGUARD Akita 8037 Bicycle Cable Lock - 20mm x 100cm with 5 Keys

The ONGUARD Akita 8037 bicycle cable lock is a robust security solution engineered to provide reliable protection for your bicycle in various urban environments. With a substantial 20mm diameter steel cable and a 100cm length, this lock offers a balance of strength and flexibility, allowing you to secure your frame and wheels to fixed objects with ease. The integrated locking mechanism is designed for durability, ensuring that your bicycle remains safe during short stops or while parked in public areas.

Advantages

This cable lock stands out due to its heavy-duty construction, which provides a significant deterrent against opportunistic theft. The 20mm thickness offers enhanced resistance compared to standard thinner cables, while the 100cm length provides sufficient reach for most common locking scenarios. The inclusion of five laser-cut keys ensures that you always have spares available, and the unique security code system simplifies the process of obtaining replacements if keys are lost, adding a layer of convenience to your security routine.

Suitable for

• Securing bicycles in urban environments
• Locking frames and wheels to bike racks or poles
• Daily commuting and short-term parking
• Use as a secondary security measure for added protection

When it may not be suitable

This cable lock may not be sufficient for high-risk areas or for securing expensive bicycles for extended periods, where a hardened steel U-lock or chain lock would be more appropriate. It is intended as a deterrent and should be used in conjunction with other security measures if maximum protection is required.

Key specifications

• Cable diameter: 20mm
• Cable length: 100cm
• Locking mechanism: High-security cylinder

How to use

To use the lock, wrap the cable around your bicycle frame and the chosen fixed anchor point, such as a bike rack or a sturdy post. Insert the key into the cylinder and turn it to engage the locking mechanism. Ensure that the lock is securely fastened and that the cable is pulled taut to minimize the space available for potential tampering. Always store your spare keys in a safe and accessible location.

What to consider before purchase

• Check if the 100cm length is sufficient for your specific locking needs
• Assess the security level required for your typical parking locations
• Ensure you keep the provided security code in a safe place for future key replacement

Usage recommendations

For optimal security, always lock your bicycle to a solid, immovable object and avoid leaving the lock resting on the ground where it could be susceptible to leverage attacks.
