does not unlock on sport

Was very excited about this lock. The key did not open the lock directly from the box. How does this happen? I've never had a lock in my life that didn't work! My feelings towards this chateau/company are so great that they don't deserve my money.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Some bugs

Be careful with the fragile plastic keyhole cover

The plastic cover that rotates to close the keyhole was broken and blocked the keyhole. After 10 minutes of struggling, I was lucky enough to finally get rid of the broken parts with the tip of a small key, otherwise I would have had to call a locksmith to shorten the lock.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • There are nuances

It looks intimidating and that's really all you should be looking for.

Looks intimidating and really is everything you should be looking for in a lock. A determined and well-equipped thief will overcome any castle, so you only need to fend off the casual adventurer. Nobody tampers with this lock without serious tools.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model

The most affordable bike lock on the market.

This is an amazing high security lock for bicycles, motorcycles or other items such as gates and trailers. The best offer of all items including ABUS that I compare. I'm a mechanical engineer by trade and a former locksmith and this lock meets several of my security criteria. It's not a 100% solution, but nothing.

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • Almost Never

Real Castle Warship

It's not the heaviest Castle (the almost comically large Altor SAF wins that award), but the M-18 is seriously heavy. That makes locking and unlocking a bit clunky, but it's a small price to pay for excellent anti-theft protection and good security. Of course, no random thief is going to hack through this lock, and with a grinder he'll at least fight back. It's basically a big Fahgettaboudit Mini; I need the size because my ebike frame is not as thin as a regular bike. I don't notice the weight

Pros
  • Great Design
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

Stadtradschloss

The lock came quickly, well packaged. As for the lock itself, I've been using it for a little over a week, so I have no comments on durability. As others have pointed out, this is a severe lockdown, no question about it. However, it's actually easy to carry around on a bike. I attach it to the rack with velcro straps and it doesn't rattle when the bike is in motion. Even when cycling I don't notice its weight. The locking mechanism has worked flawlessly so far. The U-shaped piece fits easilyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No performance
