Do insurance companies accept this lock?

I think you're right. Literally like ever other lock (lol)

Its width of the padlock

Usual Master Lock rubbish which can be raked open in about 10 seconds with no real skill at all. You would be better off protecting your valuables with a plastic cable tie ;)

Perhaps you should consider living somewhere else?!

What does the 63mm refer to?

Some people will steal bins just to avoid paying for one. We had a stolen commercial bin that cost us to replace at business rates & it ain't cheap. We also caught another thieving (poo) taking our other residential grey bin in broad daylight just so to carry a bin load of carpet samples that a carpet was closing down. His excuse was only borrowed it without asking but would return it. (mad) Most councils will charge for replacements regardless residential or commercial. Moral of story, if it ain't bolted down, people will steal even if it's bins.

When I was a kid, you could get away with a thin chain and a cheap padlock, that you could open by bashing against the bike stand, and cable locks with cast white metal(probably a zinc alloy) bodies, although the cables used to be a lot thicker back then. Mind you, I had a few locks stolen off my bike at school, but no-one stole my bike! About 20 years later, kids around here would be snapping the bicycle stands off to steal a bike if they couldn't break the locks.

Awww, Thank you so much for the Detailed Reply and lots of suggestions and tips too (y) Wish Bike Theives wouldn't exist, hark back to the old days, when people left their back doors open and could leave their bikes unattended w.o being stolen...

Kryptonite had an exchange programme for their tubular keyed d-locks years ago, masterlock and Oxford Magnum (I think) also changed their design after the issue was publicised on the net, a few years after it was reported on TV. Apparently thieves favoured using a cigarette lighter to soften the pen. Video of someone opening one here:- I'd look for a lock that is either thatcham approved or Sold Secure Gold rated (or maybe silver rated if the bike is insured and the policy approves silver rated locks). Cable locks are pretty hopeless as a main lock, but may be ok as a secondary lock for securing the front wheel. Onguard have some relatively cheap gold rated d-locks, such as their pitbull and thicker heavier Brute lock (which should be more resistant to bolt cropping) in various sizes:- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Onguard-Pitbull-8005-Bike-Cable/dp/B00XAM0NYI I gather their mounting brackets aren't very good. Not very light though, but I doubt you'll get a lightweight lock that is very secure. I own a Kryptonite New York as I got it cheap end of line, due to a change in the mounting bracket design, even heavier and probably a bit better quality, and usually expensive. Be sure to oil the keyhole and to put some mineral oil in the shackle holes and give the key a few turns to thoroughly oil the lock bolts, as the locking mechanisms on hardened steel d-locks are all prone to rusting if not well oiled.

Really?! I'm thinking of buying a D Lock, any ideas of a good, Lightweight type that's isn't too costly! My bikes 2nd hand, but still prone to theft of course!

Those tubular keyed locks on the D-lock can be opened with a rolled up bit of cardboard, or the case of a bic pen if is fits. You clone the key by pressing the carboard/plastic tube into the lock.

No tools required for cheap cable locks:- (apart from the thief) Although, as even a cheap padlock is going to be a bit stronger than the body of a typical one piece cable lock, a thief might need to use the tourniquet method to pull the ends of the cable out.

At least if you ever forget your bike lock key you can borrow a pair of scissors and cut it off. Honestly cable locks are a waste of time, even the cheapest bolt cutters will be through in a second. Only useful if you have something that needs a 3m cable and is only going to be targeted by opportunist thieves with zero tools.

Bought for the cable. Thanks

Decent price and voted hot. I was going to buy, but I don't think I'd lock anything I've got with this lock. Heat though if you need it.

Also 8% cashback with quidco

I was tempted last time it was on sale. Heard a lot of bad things tho. I’ll have another look

Oh going to look in my local. Handy for backpacking, staying in hostels etc.

Anti theft lock.... It's taken me 38 years to realise I've been using pro theft locks.

Yeah, but it's an alright lock for city bag use, stop the pick pocketers!

Should of included 4 digits.

Pack of 3 in Poundland!

got one for £14 from AmazonWarehouse 3 years ago and its still going. £46 is about the average price

Guitar amp? Nope

They almost deserve to have their back door smashed in. So to speak.

went in a newbuild today, front door had high security lock and shielded door handle to hide the cylinder, back had a cheapo no name euro lock :/

Amazon warehouse do some good prices for Avocet locks, £17.30 for 60(INT)x40(EXT) in chrome, £18.33 for 30(INT)x30(EXT), Recently bought one in used: like new condition for £18 and it was just a battered box. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00QAID8TG/ref=olp_twister_all?ie=UTF8&mv_color_name=all&mv_size_name=all

Anti snap doesn't mean they won't snap, it means that they "fail to safety" you can snap them but it doesn't give you access. As for people complaining that there's still ways to get in, of course there is. You can only keep out an honest man. If someone is determine to get in, they will. It's like when people buy "rock" doors and put them on the front of the house, leaving the back vulnerable. If you have old locks these are a good cost effective way to upgrade.

Interesting vid, cheers

It's how it goes on here, I posted what should have been a red hot phone phone contract deal on a iphone 8 and another for a S9 the cheapest by far I even cancelled with 3 who have ALWAYS beaten any other offer I'd ever had as they couldn't match it and that went really cold :-( I asked the audience voting cold to show me a better deal nobody did......

Any idea why its gone cold? Cheapest I can find is £75.

Skum cut this off my bike

I think you miss the point of whats a deal

Found cheaper shed insurance
