OnGuard Brute Lock

It’s an unfortunate fact that keeping your stuff locked up is an essential part of day-to-day life, especially when it comes to items you travel with, like your bike for example. You spend a ridiculous amount of money on a decent bike so why not spend a little bit extra on a good lock? And, credit where it’s due, this D-Lock isn’t that expensive but boy, is it tough! You certainly get your money’s worth.

The main D-bar has a hardened steel core, measuring 16.8mm, making a mockery of the majority of bolt cutters and is also resistant to prying and jacking. The locking mechanism is an X4P Quattro Bolt and locks on 4 sides, 2 on each entry point from the shackle in to the crossbar. Speaking of the crossbar, it’s double rubber coated and the caps at either end are all metal, providing extra resistance and durability all round. The rubber coating extends partway up where the shackle plugs in to help with picking resistance and to provide even more security. The tumbler for the lock itself is your classic cylinder lock and you get 5 laser-cut keys included, with one of them having an LED micro-light for those night-time un-lockings. I’d thoroughly recommend keeping the extra ones in a safe place because if you lose a key, there’s no way you’re getting this thing off!

The Brute Lock has a Diamond level security rating with a score of 95/100 and is also part of the ‘Security by Design’ initiative created by the UK police force who only award those devices that meet their stringent standards for crime prevention with this accolade. You really can’t get much more secure than this and for the price, I really see no reason why you wouldn’t choose this lock for your bike, it’s a no-brainer!RRP £64.99
