🔐 CATALYST 200 Pocket U-Lock - Silver: Superior Security for Bikes Review

Works for what I need (mounting rear wheel to bike frame). I don't think it will be big enough to serve as a main bike lock. It's certainly not big enough to cover the bike frame and bike stand. I liked that a spare key was included. Keypaste can be finicky

This item is rubbish I have no idea why it's still on sale, only works the first few days I couldn't return this one because it was attached to my bike and can't open it with the key so I had to use a saw to cut the lock off my bike, this lock is a waste of money.

It came out smaller than I initially thought but was surprised as it fits almost all the bars/bikes I've tried. It's also great for keeping the wheels in line with the frame. The key works fine and despite some remarks about it getting stuck I would like to clarify things and state that this is most likely user error. Maybe these people tried to insert the key from the wrong side.

The lock is nice and small, not too big but not too small either. I had no problem mounting my bike on a bike rack on campus. However, after a few weeks the locking mechanism started to fail. The lock refused to open or close with any key and I wasted time locking and unlocking my bike. You really have to be patient. This is a great budget lock but if you have the money to upgrade to a higher quality lock I would recommend a higher quality lock.

Don't even think about buying this lock. I locked my bike with this and a second cable lock in downtown San Francisco and the bike thieves managed to pick the U-lock in seconds, but luckily my second lock stopped them before security noticed. This lock is simply opened with a cap from a ballpoint pen. There are many videos on YouTube showing how to do it. If you care about your bike at all, spend a few bucks more for a better U-lock that doesn't use a barrel key.

Although the price is not so high, it is not a cheap product. It is very durable, not easy to break, and the two keys are definitely convenient and work well. It's a small lock, but it doesn't really need to be any bigger for your bike to be secure enough. If you are looking for a bike lock and are unsure if you want to pay for something of the same quality as something cheaper then this is the perfect price tag and product. It also comes with anti-theft insurance if you register the lock and…

At first glance, this U-lock looks very good, it does exactly what it's supposed to. However when I tried to unlock it last week it was very difficult - the key didn't fully turn for some time. I thought it might have gotten wet so I dried it out, cleaned the inside and kept using it. Eventually it got to the point where it wouldn't open at all and now it's just stuck permanently and won't open. The key does not work, does not turn completely. WD-40 and many cleaners were useless. I am…

I have this lock for one reason and one reason only, to protect myself from being robbed at work in the middle of the night. A town on the southern side of Arizona. At a convenience store. It has no working locks on the front door. I have to say that he did his job well. I've been with the company for five years, almost six years. This is the place for the latter two in particular. It was never a problem to say. Tell me about the sophomore year history being constantly robbed and note that I…
