Hiplok Z LOK COMBO Multi-use Security Tie & Bike Lock

Nice and lightweight easy to use . My yellow one failed and it's not even a year old . Locked my bike up in York Railway Station under cover for the night and went to get the bike today . None of the numbers would engage and unlock . Tried twice before having to traipse 30 mins home amd back again with WD40 and cutters . I then had to faff around twice more spraying sed WD40 into the lock which failed then had to go find a police officer showing him proof the bike was mine and to supervise the cutting of the lock to retrive my own bike so I didn't look like a criminal . Buy with caution . Also these are not wire cutter proof

Waste of time and money.Brought 2 of these and both have failed worked ok for a week or 2 but then they started to fail making it hard to put the code in. This escalated to the point where we had to break one of my daughter’s bike. We managed to do this with our hands and a tyre lever in 2 min so no security added any way.

Firstly, this is not sold as a "proper" bike lock. This is something to secure your bike whilst it remains in your sight. It literally aims to prevent the bile from being taken from under your nose.I have the combination version - the key version is too easy to open. It's neat and lightweight and fits in a jersey pocket.This is essentially a big zip tie and the principle is sound. For me though, I've come across a few occasions where tying up has been difficult because the tie could do with being a little bit longer.If you're with a friend who also has one of these, you can join them together and lash both of your bikes together.

Just what I needed to secure my mobility scooter while I pop into a shop.

This is brilliant works like a zip tie, but no keys to lose, you just put your unique number on the locking mechanism.Great for the quick cafe stops, also if you have a longer cable can use to tie two bikes together it’s a quick and easy cable lock.Very lite to carry with you.A very sturdy bike locking mechanism.

All good thanks 😊

TLDR: - Not fit for purpose, will cause you more problems than it solves.This looked like a brilliant little lock to secure an E-scooter for a few mins whilst nipping into the local shops. Set a new code as soon as I got it, read the instructions and tested I could easily lock and lock it before I actually needed to use it - No problems. Few days later, I decide to take the scooter down to the shops for the first time, quickly tested the locking procedure again before I set off, no problems.Get my stuff from the shops, reach down to unlock it and BAM - Jammed solid. No matter what I did, it wasn't unlocking. I had to get a friend who had a van to come pick me up. Once home, spent half an hour double checking the instructions to ensure I wasn't doing anything wrong, watched some videos, etc. Still nothing. Then found some other users had encountered the same thing so this was not an isolated incident. In the end, like others, having exhausted all non destructive options, I had to cut off with a pair of bolt cutters.

This lock isn't perfect - it's thin, the 1000-combination lock is easy enough to crack by feel, and the band isn't long enough to do more than tie the bike frame to a rack. It won't deter a professional with a decent cutting tool (even some heavy-duty snips), or an opportunist with a bit of patience and determination. In no way is this a suitable replacement for a proper lock to secure your bike against theft for any length of time.BUT, it's a useful inconvenience, and sometimes that's all you need. in situations where you just have to leave your bike unattended for a moment, or you're far enough away that you couldn't prevent instant opportunistic theft, it's enough to give you some peace of mind.When bikepacking somewhere remote where bike theft is not a likely problem, or when I have to pop into a high street shop for two minutes, this lock is small & light enough that I can always have it with me, and it's enough to make a difference and stop me worrying.
