Burg Wachter 1600HB Sold Secure Gold Approved D Lock Bike Lock, Grey/Black, Small

Feels very strong and would prevent someone from nicking your bike in a few seconds. Sometimes fiddly to unlock lock and very heavy, but I am using it and trust it. Using with the a cable too. Big enough to loop through wheel and down seat pipe.

Having bought a quite pricy electric bike 2nd hand I wanted a slightly more beefed up lock at a reasonable price and this came in as my choice due to it's 'sold secure gold' rating and relatively low price. Though some reviewers remarked on struggles in use I've found it easy to lock and unlock. It's a weighty piece of kit - I carried it on my rear rack at first and had to put a layer of thick bubble wrap between it and the rack to stop the jarring sound as I rode along. A mounting kit is supplied keeping it in the small backpack I carry anyway. Obviously you don't know it's effectiveness until someone attempts to nick the bike but it seems very sturdy and the rating gives you that bit of confidence. I would recommend!

A fantastic lock. Feels very secure, and a great deterrent to potential thieves. Not too bulky/heavy to travel with, but feels strong and resistant to breaking.The 2 negatives - The worst part about the lock is the provided frame mount. It does not feel like it will support the weight of the lock very long, it is extremely flimsy and I don't know why Burg-Wächter bothered to imprint their name on it. The fixing can be removed from the lock but that of course leaves you with a small section of metal not covered by the sheath (which cannot be slid along to compensate).Secondly - the locking section does 'rattle' a little, so if this is secured to your bike expect a little noise, which may bother some people.Overall this is a great lock and I would highly recommend; my bike isn't too expensive so I am happy with the level of protection provided. That said I'd advise you instantly bin the provided mount and find a new way to attach this to your bike.

I used this lock for my disability scooter. The length of the lock was perfect to go through the wheel and frame. It would be really difficult to take mow.

Solid locks, but they always stick, even when lubed with various things like WD40 - 3 in 1, chain lube.... They always end up sticking, and the key gets twisted ... Have had a few of these, and I won't buy this brand again.

It is very robust and hopefully will stop potential thieves from trying to steel my bike. It is quite heavy and I need to think where is the best place to carry this lock. I am very happy with the purchase

I've just received this item last night. Opened it this morning. The first thing I noticed was that the key would not go in the lock straight away. I initially thought it was the wrong key. However, after much jiggling, I eventually managed to get the key to go into the lock.Even so, I still find the lock quite stiff and fiddly. The key has to go in only one way. Sometimes I find I put the key in and it won't unlock. So I have to take the key out, flip it round, and then reinsert it. However, the key still requires a fair bit of jiggling in the lock before it will engage and unlock.I guess this could mean that it's more difficult to pick, and hopefully the would-be thieves would give up. However, it's a bit of a nuisance if you're in a hurry and need to get your bike unlocked in a hurry. For example, say, if you're rushing to get on a train, or maybe late for work.

Bought this to add to my existing 2 locks as a condition of insurance (my bike insurance requires a “sold secure Gold” lock).Given I already have 2 locks for my other bike, I use this as well as rather than instead of - thieves will no doubt crack even this monster, but extra locks means extra work, and those lazy guys will steal them some other poor soul’s bike instead.This is a chunky lock, opens and closes easily, and has an attachment in case you want to attach to your bike, (but doubt anyone would use that, as the reason you buy a lock like this is for an expensive bike - which is probably expensive because it is light, so why add about 5 kilos to it. !!! Anyway, it has that.The lock itself would deter most people I think because it really is chunky, and even with an angle grinder, it would take a while to go through, and the sparks that would create would devalue the thing they are stealing, which is doubtless a deterrent.I’ve bought a couple of these, and left them at various points I visit regularly. I’ve had them a couple of months, and the locks have weathered well, I added “dry lube” to the lock area, and always close the shutter over the keyhole - not sure that helps, but other reviewers have said they’d seized, whereas mine seem to have stayed nice - or maybe I am just lucky…Anyway - totally recommend this, and am about to buy a 3rd one to leave at another station I occasionally visit.

Durch die flexible Anbringung unterhalb des Sattels ist das Schloss sehr komfortabel untergebracht und stört nicht beim fahren. Das Gewicht ist relativ gering. Mit dem Schließmechanismus bin ich insgesamt gut zurecht gekomnmen. Ob es einen Diebstahl verhindern kann weiß ich nicht - es sieht aber robust aus...

Für den Preis ein robustes undsicheres Schloß bekommen.

The media could not be loaded. Schon das zweite Schloss, das nach einigen Tagen nicht mehr schließt. Zum Glück habe ich es immer noch gerade aufbekommen, bevor gar nichts mehr ging, sonst hätte ich es auch noch aufflexen lassen müssen.Nicht kaufen!

Ich habe dieses Schloss nach dem Testbericht der Stiftung Warentest gekauft. Dort schneidet das Schloss bei der Sicherheit hervorragend ab, erhält allerdings schlussendlich keine gute Note, weil Schadstoffe in der Ummantelung gefunden wurden. Da ich das Schloss nur im freien einsetze, war mir das allerdings herzlich gleichgültig.Das Schloss funktioniert soweit. Problematisch ist allerdings, dass es gerade im Winter gerne mal festfriert. Um das zu verhindern, spraye ich regelmäßig Schmiermittel ins Schloss. Das ist eine Sauerei, verdrängt allerdings das Wasser. Ich musste das Schloss allerdings im freien bereits mehrfach mit dem Wasserkocher enteisen. Das ist schon lästig. Wegen des günstigen Preises und der gut getesteten Sicherheit, würde ich es allerdings trotzdem wieder kaufen. Insgesamt dennoch nur 3 Sterne.

Für die Qualität und den Preis sollte das Schloss doch mindesten mal 5 Jahre funktionieren!
