HiplokZ LOK

This is a really great product. Not something that will stop thieves if they really want something, but a nice little extra deterrent. Easy to install and remove as the user.

Perfect when teamed up with a larger lock. Just an extra deterrent. Have seen someone try to cycle off and forget that one of these was looped around the wheel! The lock was fine!

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).

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!

As people say, nice idea, rubbish quality. Straight out box, worked once then wouldn't lock. Straight back in the box!

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.

I use these as an extra lock for my bike, not the primary lock. I figure bicycle locks buy you time or put off thieves. Using one or both of these with my primary lock hopefully makes my bike that much more work to steal and a thief will pick an easier target.

Sturdy plastic.one of the keys is a bit squint but still works..they should have designed them to be a bit longer so you can easily attach the bike to a fixed post- with the length they are now I'm looking for a skinny post or just fixing bike wheel to frame..they will work great for pannier bags to be securely locked to bike rack..worth 4 stars.. would be 5 if they were longer and better quality keys..still a good slow down the thief deterrent to have
