Lock Deals & Offers

I've just ordered a set of these, after doing some fairly extensive research including taking my doors apart. The locks themselves. Better than the padlock option due to the tamper resistant spindles. If they do snap your lock, then this adds a good 2nd layer of security. It won't stop them forever, nothing will. But it's all about the amount of time, noise and effort it takes to get in that counts. Of course, having a couple of highly territorial GSDs the other side of the glass is my best 3rd layer of security. Lastly a word of warning, the website payment with PayPal is AWFUL. Took me 3 attempts to get it to work. If you make a mistake (upper case in email one of the several times you have to write it out for example) then just give up and start again. When you go to fill the form out to buy this, you put name and address etc. Then you click on PayPal, it copies your info over to the PP popup window, BUT once you have finished the PayPal form, it will take you to the main website page again, but in the new small PayPal window. You have to fill out all your data AGAIN and then you can complete it. Note, you will need to go back to the top and manually add your email address in AGAIN... the page takes you to step 2 for address, but go up and do that too. Dumb site, really dumb. Hopefully this info will save anyone else having a faff with it.

Was thinking exactly the same as this picture. My Dad used to use a cheap poundland style flexible bike lock around the handles of his French doors when he went on holiday etc. Seems to do the same job.

Those look goods but they don't act as a visual deterrent. They are a good supplement to the Patlock so thanks.

You win Laugh-Out-Loud prize today. Good to see someone making sure the filth humour isn't left out of serious posts (lol)

Yep they do some cheap plastic ones but if you shop around you can get metal ones

Or just ask your local police force for plate security screws for free

Could be useful abroad where car tax is included on the plate perhaps.

Are these for Skodas, where the number plate is worth more than the car?

True story,I had a number plate of mine get a ticket in Hungary recently though I have never been there (horror)

I can't see the point in steeling number plates either, but it happens. Surely this is cheaper than buying a press machine and blank plates or even replacing number plates.

These are pointless and can be broken into or sawed off within minutes. The only worthwhile steering lock to get is the Disklok. Granted it's around £100 but if you're serious about security and your car is an expensive one, then that's what you need to get. They take atleast 10/15 minutes to get off.

Was going to buy one identical to this recently due to upgrading to a keyless car however opted for one from aldi which i cant fault at all. Its a Solid heavy lock and luckily reduced to a tenner when i went to collect instore. Its no longer on their website however i purchased instore about a week or 2 ago so you may be able to get if your looking for a quick option.

yet something else to bend the rules of the law

Yea but the Police arent stupid.

If so then you're biggest mistake was admitting this on a public forum :D

If you read my comment properly you will see that I am telling you I have stolen stuff using this equipment.

I'd be gobsmacked if there were more than a couple of burglars using lockpicks; they'll far more likely walk around with no tools (so they can't be done if the police catch them before the act), find a brick or grab a hammer from your shed, smash the patio door and then be in and out in under five minutes. Conversely, being able to pick a door lock in 3 minutes takes years of dedicated practice and the potential for a decent career as a locksmith at the end anyway. Unless you're planning to nick the cullian diamond, this kit isn't going to be used by your garden variety burglar.

I got one of these a while ago as part of my survival prepping 'hobby'. Not everyone is a criminal. Plus I don't think aspiring burglars are hunting hotukdeals looking for tips and cheap practice sets...

I get what you're trying to say. But, have you tried this set, though? I think a better analogy would be learning how to play a guitar. Your analogy would put a £500 guitar in the hands of a beginner, I'd say it's more like comparing a cheap £15 ebay special, which is substantially more difficult to play especially for a beginner, to say a basic £80 Yamaha. Further to my analogy; as a beginner, if you can't play a barre chord even after several days of practice because the guitar you started with makes it incredibly tough, chances are that's the last time you'd touch a guitar because of the perception that it's impossibly difficult.

Heat from me for a long awaited price drop. It's worth pointing out that many owners complain that they can go off in windy conditions. This applies to other manufacturers too.

Cool, managed to get one locally. Just what i was after for my new bike. XD

Good find if you can get hold of one.

A strong wind sets my wife off screaming too.... (cheeky)

A great price. It's worth noting that a strong wind can set these things off.

which branch please??

Thanks for sharing your first deal @Kwm92 - heat added :) Just to help other users to find this deal, please could you confirm which local store this was found? Ta!
