SET AND RESET: You can keep changing your combination on the WordLock Cable Lock as many times as you want. Use words like WELL, SHED, and more to keep your bike secure.

STRONG AND FLEXIBLE: You get a full 5 feet of flexible cable, so you can loop it, twist it, and lock it any way you want. It is even designed with a vinyl coating that is weather proof and will not scratch your bike. NEVER FORGET: Instead of hard to remember numbers, WordLock uses your memory's natural preference for keywords and the alphabet. It is easy to set and change your own combination from thousands of possible word and letter combinations. WORDLOCK STANDARDS: Traditional locks require keys or remembering confusing sequences of numbers. Those days are over, thanks to WordLock's advances in lock technology. Security, creativity and usability come together thanks to WordLock. SPECIFICATIONS: Includes (1) Wordlock Combination Bike Cable Lock - 4 Dial, 5 Feet, Black. Resettable with up to 10,000 possible letter combinations. All-Weather Vinyl Coating that Minimizes Scratching. Included Bike Mounting Bracket.

no mount, low battery

I ordered this because the pictures show it comes with a mount. There is no bracket included with the product, although the instructions describe how to attach the product to the bike. The battery for the village lantern. Revain needs better quality control. :(

VERY EASY TO USE BIKE CABLE AND LOCK COMBINATION

VERY EASY TO USE BIKE CABLE AND LOCK COMBINATION. I use it to lock my bike so it doesn't get stolen. It has interchangeable combination of word locks which is convenient and also easy to change. I find it very practical and easy to use. It can be attached to the bike so it is always to hand. I recommend it. I find mine is 5ft and suits my needs well.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Damaged

Bicycle cable lock with word combination

I bought this lock to lock when I stop for coffee to look after my bike. Bike theft is rampant in San Diego, so bike locks are a must. This is not the kind of lock that can be installed on an expensive bike and left unattended. But for my needs it works. I gave 4 stars because for my application and attachment to my road bike I would have preferred a more flexible cable as it is a bit heavy. I like simple combinations of words so I don't have to remember another combination of numbers.

Pros
  • Absolutely brilliant!
Cons
  • Repair

Item may not be photographed.

Mech. I think it's normal but the item sent seems old. The one we received has a button to turn on the combination lock, except the batteries were completely dead and the battery contacts were corroded. Since these are tiny button cells, I can only assume they've been sitting for quite some time. My boy set up the combination and took it with him on his bike on his first day of school. I came home upset because the lock was "broken". In fact, it was just a cheap plastic cover peeled off; The…

ZERO Customer Service

Blocking is OK. It only lasts 1-2 years, but for the price it's ok. There is NO customer service. The instructions point to the manufacturer's website (they make a lot of brands), but clicking the word lock link just takes you back to the home page. Nothing more. There is a support email but after waiting 1-2 days the server refuses to accept an email. And the much-touted glowing letters (or changing the battery) aren't mentioned anywhere in the instructions, and without instructions it's…

Pros
  • Annual Trial
Cons
  • Frequency

BUYER WARNING THE LOCK IS DEFECTIVE

The word combination on this lock could not be changed from the one supplied. I would return it if my son wasn't in such dire need of a new lock so we left it both locked and unlocked. In addition to the fact that the code/word can be changed. THE LOCK WILL NOT UNLOCK OR CLOSE IN THE COLD. It took about a month, I couldn't figure out how to get this item back in a working lock. Now I'm stuck with a faulty product that I can't afford to replace. I will update my review if I have any new issues…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Functionality

The instructions for the locks were totally wrong

Warning there were no instructions for this lock either their quality control was not at the factory or this set of locks was sold to me used. The "word" included in the guide on how to reset the unlock was completely wrong. As it was a gift and I didn't want to return this lock I was trying to figure out what was wrong with the lock. Me, another guy, and a powerful magnifying glass had to look inside the locking mechanism to figure out how the lock works. After about 20 minutes of frustrating…

  • Decent performance

One of the best combination locks. Key locks are more secure.

This is a good combination bike lock with a fairly strong locking mechanism and cable. Much larger than the slim 1/4" versions you see at some bike shops for about the same price. A bike lock that uses a key instead of a combination is much harder to hit and break. However, this lock offers the Convenience of being keyless, and serves as a good deterrent for the occasional adventurous thief.As an example of how easy it is to pick a bike lock, I had one of those cheaper thin 1/4" versions of the
