Hiplok Z LOK

A fantastic little lock. There’s no way I’d leave my bike locked up all day in the middle of town with this, it wouldn’t even slow down a determined thief, but for a quick cafe stop it’s absolutely perfect. Lightweight, convenient and cheap, I only wish I’d bought the twin pack.

Very compact and strong looking

First off let’s get a few facts out of the way for this lock. Yes you could in theory undo it relatively quickly with a couple of pins / nails. I would never in my wildest dreams lock up my £1500 worth of road bike with it for any length of time (other than a quick cafe stop with me not far away). And yes I could cut through it easily using one of the good quality cutters in my tool box. Now we have all of that out of the way where are you likely to use this lock? I purchased it for my daughter to throw in her school bag and lock up her scooter in the school bike sheds. It stops the one idiot who is likely to try and ride off on an unlocked scooter / bike (plus scooters are a pain to lock as you can’t pass a cable lock through them like you can with a bike frame). It is also great in preventing the opportunist theft of skiing gear, motorbike / cycle helmets, luggage etc. It will never stop a prepared thief and should not be relied upon to do so. In fact even thick expensive insurance approved locks won’t stop a determined and prepared thief. This lock does exactly what it is meant to do which is secure something from an unprepared thief and should stop them from walking / riding off with your stuff. With any luck they will choose the easier unlocked items next to yours instead. It isn’t going to be broken by hand in a hurry unless you are Hercules. If you intend to leave your hard earned bike / items for any length of time, or out of sight then this is not the product for you. Otherwise it works well for the reasons that I bought it for and it is very lightweight. Finally I purchased the single lock and it only came with one key (2 would have been great even if it cost a couple of pounds more).

Obviously this is no deterrent for a bike thief. A normal pair of hand cutters could defeat this. But the best lock is the one you have with you. so small and light there is no reason not to carry it. Ideal for if you weren't planning to stop but then need to. For popping into a shop particularly when you can keep an eye on your bike from inside. It will stop an opportunist thief walking off with your pride and joy but get a serious lock for when you need to leave your bike unattended. Chain or U/D locks over cable locks them are easily cut in seconds. Check YouTube for locks tested to destruction.

Really handy café lock. Great because of how light it is.It is only a deterrent - if anyone has any sort of cutters they would get through this very quickly, but it's great if you're just popping into a shop (I have it attached to my bike so I can always pop into the supermarket on the way home) and just want to stop someone from walking past and wandering off with your bike.Downside is definitely that it's very easy to break, and it won't last forever, but it was cheap and cheerful, so I'm happy!

I wanted something quick and easy to lock my bike so someone just cant jump on and ride off when Im having a coffe break just a little peace of mind as this happend to a club member when he was on a coffee break someone jumped on hes bike and rode off with it hopfully this will help slow that process down.

Cheap, portable, lightweight, easy to use, highly visible colours. However, under tension the plastic casing quickly cracked exposing the metal strip inside, it still holds together though.

Nice and light for cafe stops etc.Goes in saddle bag. Just what I needed.Not for long overnight stops.

I love this.I use it to secure my motorcycle helmet to my bike when I don't want to carry it around with me. I got the orange one so it provides some visibility enough that people will see it's secured and won't try to steal the helmet.Having used this for a few weeks now, I find myself thinking of what else I can use it for, and whether I should buy more, perhaps in different colours!Whilst it's probably not TOO difficult to defeat the two prong key lock, it does provide ample security enough that it will stop everyone but a determined thief.Get one, or two, or more!

Simple device to prevent a dash and run theft for short pit stops. Some peace of mind.

We needed a compact bike lock to tie some of our gear to our motorcycle. A local bike shop in Ambleside had this option and we found it worked great. Very strong, lightweight and wide range of adjustability We liked so much we bought a second unit!

Merci bonne qualité

Die Hiplok sind natürlich nicht der Diebstahlschutz den ein Schloss o.ä. verspricht, dennoch erschwert er das klauen sicherlich erheblich. Im Großen und Ganzen eine tolle Sache. Ich sicherere damit einen Fahrradkorb und -taschen. Unbedingt weiterzuempfehlen. Daumen hoch
