🔒 Optimized Bike Lock Cable: Master Lock 8143D with Combination Review

Was in my jeep to protect my emergency box. Worked for a little over a year and then fell apart. I noticed that a cable had been pulled from the locking mechanism. I'm glad I didn't lock my bike sooner.

Terrible lock for Waterproof Baleaf Oxford Cloth Bike Cover for Design with Lock for 2 Bikes. Someone stole my stash by picking the lock. They did this by pulling the wire out of the locking block.

This lock lasted less than a week before my bike was stolen. The thief broke the lock on the "key" insert. The fracture shows that the material used was very brittle. Save your bike and time. Get a meaty U lock. My bike didn't cost much so I took a chance and now I feel like an idiot.

I was using this to secure my bike to my porch and within 10 minutes someone came, picked the lock and stole my husband's new bike. I'm not a happy tourist. NO, I do NOT recommend this. I live in an area that I generally thought was safe, yet a thief snuck in here like it was child's play.

I wouldn't leave my bike with this lock overnight in critical locations, but this lock is fantastic if you're strolling around downtown and stopping somewhere for a coffee or lunch. It comes with a fixed combination, which means you can't set a more memorable combination for yourself. Make sure you mark the four…

The lock mostly does the job. I bought two of these and one notable issue is that the dials sometimes get stuck which can be annoying at times. They've never seriously stuck, but can increase unlock time by 30-40 seconds. Also, there are only 4 digits out of 6 choices, so a total of 1296 choices, which is not very secure. A friend of mine was also able to figure out the combination by hearing the toggle switches click into place. However, the main goal for me is just to deter thieves, not…

This lock has always been "sticky" and stuck all the time. Not the kind of situation you want to find yourself in on a cold night trying to unlock your bike in a sketchy hood to get home. I always wondered if it was me or if I accidentally reset it but then got unlocked at the last minute! After at least 10-15 minutes.
