Seems quite secure November 19, 2008 Joy J. (Portland, OR USA) The lock seems pretty secure, but it can sometimes be a little hard to turn the key when locking it. It seems like the U portion of it doesn't quite go in all the way. I also found that OnGuard's anti-theft protection isn't automatic or free (you have to download a form from their website and send it it with payment to get the anti-theft protection) Plus, they don't tell you this on the packaging. The anti-theft protection also doesn't cover anything if it is broken with the aid of a drill or other electric device.
Very secure, extra cable is useful, key gets a little stuck. September 9, 2008 Marina Danilevsky (Chicago, IL) I would give it 4.5/5 if it was possible. The lock works great - even better if you pull off the useless yellow plastic caps on the end. The extra cable is useful for the front wheel. The key sticks a bit and is sometimes difficult to turn, but I have not broken it yet (and when I do, I have 4 more to go through, which is good to know).
Tough Bike Lock August 8, 2008 George Souza (California, USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a hefty lock, but small in size and easy to use. The cable gives you added security for seats and tires. I recommend this highly.
The plastic mounting bracket broke on installation... July 12, 2008 M. Khadir (Chicago, IL United States) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The lock itself seems like it is good quality. However, I never had a chance to use the lock since, the plastic lock bracket, which mounts the lock to the bike broke on installation. As a result, I cannot take the lock with me when I go biking. The bracket installation guide does not effectively show how to mount the bracket properly to the bike. Even after carefully following the installation instructions, the bracket kept sliding & eventually one of the plastic pieces broke. Unfortunately, I purchased the lock in May 2008 on Amazaon and I didn't get around to installing the lock until July 2008, which is beyond the 30 day return policy, so I cannot return the lock.
good lock short cable June 23, 2008 P. Fink (Syracuse, NY United States) The lock works great! Easy to lock and unlock, but the cable that comes with is a little short. I ride to work, and the rack they have is not fully visible to the public. So I was hoping this would be the one sollution for locking my bike. I managed to get the cable all around the bike and use the U-lock at the back tire to connect it all, but I have no extra to connect to the rack. Maybe if I had gotten a bigger U-lock I could connect there? Any ways we purchased a cheap cable lock to connect to the rack also.
