Description
The one we point people at when they have just spent four or five thousand pounds. The D1000 is Sold Secure Diamond and is built specifically to resist an angle grinder, which is how expensive bikes actually get stolen in London now. Heavy, expensive, and the right answer if the bike lives outside or gets left at a station.
The shackle is a hardened steel core wrapped in Hiplok’s Ferosafe composite, which eats grinder discs rather than cutting cleanly. Hiplok’s own testing puts it at more than 20 times the cutting time of a standard D lock, and a thief has to cut it twice to get it off. The 92 x 155 mm locking area is enough to get round a cargo bike frame and a stand or railing, and the rubber coating keeps the paint tidy.
What you get
- Sold Secure Powered Cycle Diamond, the top rating, and ART 4 star
- 92 x 155 mm locking area, about 1.9 kg
- Anti rotation double locking tabs and a square profile core
- Weather sealed keyway, three coded keys and a key code card for replacements
- Lifetime warranty when registered within 30 days
It works with the AX1000 anchor at home, and the BR1000 bracket or carry pouch get it onto the bike. If you need a bigger locking area for a motorbike or a fat framed e-bike, the DX1000 is the same lock scaled up.
The D1000 suits a normal e-bike or a compact cargo bike like the Tern HSD or the Muli, where the stand is close to the frame. For a longtail like the Tern GSD, the DX1000 has the reach.
We fit and set up locks in the shop when you buy a bike from us, and we are happy to talk through what suits where you park. Locks can go on a Cycle to Work voucher alongside the bike. Call 020 8347 5534 if you want advice.
