Rather than worry like a lot of the reviewers here

later I left this locked on my bike for a month and it refused to open. Keyways and tumblers tend to snap, especially the deepest ones. Instead of going crazy like a lot of the reviewers here, I tested the problem - took some WD40 and machined it into the keyway - you know what? Opened immediately after three or four minutes and two shots of WD40 while turning the key back and forth. Let's hope regular lubrication of the locking mechanism will help protect this thing from the angle grinder in…

If you buy this lock, you remove the crappy plastic door with the keyhole.

I had to spend two hours in the sun to pull out a piece of plastic that got stuck in the keyhole, preventing me from putting the key all the way in to open my bike (it broke out of the small plastic door , covering the keyhole ). I have read many reviews of people having trouble with these locks and I always thought they must have done something wrong or even that some of these reviews were written by competitors trying to downgrade their competitors. But now I know. It's just bad design and…

Strong, big and heavy.

After receiving the necessary information, I realized that this lock is very reliable and perfectly suited to my needs. I attach my Harley to the trailer with 1/2" cable and this lock. I suppose it could have been cut, but the cable could have been cut if I had had enough time. But if someone has a cable or a lock , cut a trailer, unlock my Harley's fork lock, let the Harley run down the ramp and load it into another trailer, or start it up by magically bypassing the alarm system, all before I…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • There are some nuances

Kryptonite is Schlage turns out

I don't think anyone else tried to steal my pendant so I can't speak for theft protection but the lock looks secure. It took me a while to figure out from the reviews if this would work with Schlage 999478 High Security Chunky Chain with Cinch Ring - it works - so I've attached pictures. There's also room for a Brinks 165-38150 3/8" x 15' Flexweave Loop Cable along with a rim spoke. I'll refuse if anyone walks with me at night (I suspect the goal given the severity and location of the cable…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Discontinued

Ideal as a connecting link for a Schlage security chain with a tulip ring

I bought this lock specifically to use as a connecting link for a Schlage security chain with a 12 mm tulip ring. As with most Kryponite locks, it is solid and well made. This Kryptonite/Schlage chain combo is primarily designed to protect our mountain bikes on my truck during one of those bike rides where I end up parking and leaving the truck on a public errand. or so. Note, however, that this or any other combination of lock and chain is not secure if you lock your bike to a lamppost and…

  • New

Nice solid disc lock

I bought this with a Schlagle Loop chain because it was cheaper to buy each one than a set. Also, the brake discs on my bike aren't perforated, so the more compact disc locks don't fit. It works well, I can ride it through small gaps between the brake disc and the hub. I then thread it through a link on a loop chain that I've attached around a pole set in concrete. And voila, my bike is now more uncomfortable to steal (hopefully more uncomfortable than other bikes in the area). I love that the…

  • Enjoyable

Very nice castle! The best in cycling

This is a very secure lock. I entrust him with my very expensive motorcycles. It would be difficult to get such a high level of security without spending a little more. I wanted to give 4 stars just because it's not perfect. It can be assembled by someone with the right knowledge and tools, and inside the part that contains all the important parts is plastic. If it was at least zinc it would be much better. But for the money it deserves 5 stars. Now for the fun part: I have this castle and New…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competition has arrived

Durable and Adaptable Motorcycle Disc Lock

This is an amazing motorcycle disc lock! It's small enough to easily carry around, but bulky enough to look and feel solid when mounted on the bike. I use it to attach my chain to my bike in bad areas of town and also use it alone when I'm on the road and don't want to carry my chain around. I like yellow because it's bright enough to be a deterrent and also makes it harder to steal my bike. It comes with three keys (one lighted) which all work great and it also has a unique serial number so…

  • Decent Performance
