There are many types and brands of locks available in today’s market, all offering differing levels of protection against a thief. If you’re new to cycling or bicycle security, it can be confusing. Sadly, there are thousands of stolen bikes every year so it’s very important to make the right choice. Number 1. D-Lock They can vary in size, weight, and strength. When locking with a D-lock it’s important to ensure you have a tight fit (reduce the space) to prevent thieves from using leverage-style attacks. It’s good practice to use two slightly different types of locks, for example, one chain lock and one D-lock. Number 2. Chain Lock A chain lock consists of hardened metal links creating the chain. The chain is locked with a padlock. The links and chains as a whole vary in size, weight, and strength. Usually, the more secure chain locks are heavier but are less portable. Often the links are covered with a plastic sleeve to protect the chain and bike. Number 3. Cable Lock Cable locks are lightweight bike locks that can be transported around pretty easily with minimal fuss. Like chain locks, they’re also flexible meaning they can be secured to lots of objects. You may also see combo locks available on the market. These locks are simply cable locks that are unlocked with a combination, rather than a key. Number 4. As per the name they are folding and have a very compact design. Most come with a bracket for your bike frame for transporting. It is wise to take good care of your lock to prevent jamming. Sometimes dirt or other elements can get into the mechanism causing a jam. To maintain the lock always read the manufacturer's guidelines, but consider occasionally checking the keyhole, ensuring if it has a flap that it is closed and there is no dirt inside. Number 5. Ground Anchor Ground anchors are drilled into concrete, be that in a garage or another location to offer a secure anchor point to attach a bike lock. A high percentage of thefts occur at home, so it’s important to consider an anchor if you have a garage or shed, as you are unlikely to have another secure object to lock your bike lock too. Anchors do vary in security rating, just like locks. Your lock is only as effective as what you’re securing your lock too. If the object isn’t sturdy or stable, a thief could end up taking your bike and your lock. No bike lock can guarantee your bike’s safety, but proper use of locks and techniques can greatly reduce the risk of bike theft. Never use a cable lock as a primary lock. When in doubt, discuss your security options with a reputable local bike shop that can advise based on your location, the value of your bike, and insurance requirements.
