Bicycle security cable Yale 12 mm steel keyed lock YCK0/12/200/2 Black

The Yale Bicycle Security Cable with a 12 mm steel core and keyed lock is designed to secure bicycles and similar outdoor equipment. The cable combines a rigid steel construction with a keyed cylinder to provide controlled access while resisting casual cutting and tampering. Its black finish is suited to urban and outdoor environments and the cable length is appropriate for locking frames to fixed objects.

Advantages

The 12 mm steel construction increases resistance to brute force and common cutting tools compared to lighter cables. The keyed cylinder offers controlled access for the owner and avoids accidental disengagement associated with combination locks. The cable’s protective outer coating helps prevent frame scratches and reduces noise during handling.

Suitable for

• Securing bicycles in urban commutes and short stops
• Locking scooters, gates or outdoor equipment of similar size
• Temporary storage of bikes in apartments, garages or bike rooms

Key specifications

• Construction: 12 mm steel core for increased cut resistance
• Lock type: keyed cylinder for owner-controlled access
• Finish: protective black coating to reduce frame damage
• Application: designed for outdoor use and everyday urban situations

How to use

Wrap the cable around the bicycle frame and a fixed object such as a bike rack or sturdy post, ensuring the cable passes through the frame and, if possible, both wheels. Insert and turn the key to engage the cylinder until it locks; remove the key and confirm the lock is secure before leaving the bicycle. Keep the spare key in a safe place and avoid forcing the cylinder if resistance is felt.

Usage recommendations

For improved security, use the cable in combination with a D-lock or chain lock on the frame or front wheel, and choose well-lit, visible places for parking. Regularly inspect the cable and lock for wear or damage and replace if the protective coating or steel core shows significant deterioration.
