“The airlocks are a very solid, tidy and secure way of storing my bikes on the garage wall. Fixing was fairly easy, although requiring a 15 mm diameter drill bit was a bit awkward relative to a 14 or 16 mm. This 15 mm size is less common and the bit was not available in local DIY shops. Marking the holes and working out the final position of the bike needs care because of the weight of the lock. Once drilled the rest of the mounting was easy and the Allen key fitting was straightforward. Use is very easy and has really improved the security of the bikes in the garage. It's also handy doing minor jobs on the gearing with the bikes held off the ground.”
“I recently bought a Gold, waist chain lock. It's too early to say how effective it will be as a deterent but it looks the part. It's a little difficult to engage shackle and hooks but it's probably to do with mastering the technique.”
Thanks for leaving us a review and your feedback we're glad to hear you're liking your GOLD so far and we hope this can give you the peace of mind you need!
“The ordering process and customer information provided was excellent. In terms of the lock it is definitely great quality, however I would echo comments made by John Millbank at Bennett's. It would be useful if the outer casing was a more hi visible colour, I have wound yellow tape around,so that would be thieves may be warned off. I knew before buying that the dimensions would mean that it wouldn't go around my tyre and I would have to go through the cast wheel. An even larger lock that fits over the majority of wheels would be useful. That being said very happy with the product and would recommend to any biker serious about security.

Thanks for leaving us a review, we're glad to hear you're happy with your new lock. Thanks for the feedback on the sizing, we'll be sure to keep this in mind for future product development!
“I purchased the zip locks and I believe they are a great product however I wish there was a way to tuck in the tails when you zip them in.
The locking mechanism or the key could be a bit more complex”
Thanks for leaving us a review and for providing your feedback. We're glad to hear you like the product overall and we'll keep this feedback in mind for future development!
Thanks for leaving us a review and providing your feedback. We are currently working on a carrying solution for the DX1000 so something will be released in the future!
“Product works as advertised. Mounting and usage are both very easy. I'm not very excited about the supplied plugs and screws though. The plugs are 7mm in diameter instead of 6 or 8 and I received screws of different sizes in one package. Overall great product!”
Thanks for leaving us a review, we're glad to hear you're overall happy with your Hiplok JAW's. We're sorry though about the issue with the screw sizing in one of the packs, that has been highlighted with our product team to prevent this happening again.
“The delivery and ease of using the website was great, added bonus to get a discount at the checkout for some of the mini anchors was definitely a good sweetener. The anchors work great and were simple to install obviously they haven’t been tested against scum bags and I hope it never will but at least they add to the security. The wheels mounts are good but I do find with the large volume MTB tyres we have if the bikes are knocked at all they pull out a bit to easily, so thinking we might need to get something to tie them into the mounts as well which is another cost but the bikes are my pride and joy so they’re worth it.”
“Excellent product but sadly no use as I bought it for my motorbike and it isn’t big enough to do anything but fit around the wheel spokes. I was hoping it would go over the swinging arm and wheel spokes so not really big enough for motorbikes. I see your reply but I have a lock and case that cost £279. Telling me you have taken on board my review and are making a larger one doesn’t really help as I have a lock that is no use to me.”
“Hiplock make well above average bike security equipment, but one is in an arms race with the thieves. The D1000 lock is by far the robust lock, but it is heavy and fairly bulky, but probably the best way to ensure your bike is there, when you return. My beef is with the Insurance companies, the bike manufacturers and the Police who could all collaborate to do more to reduce bike theft. My last bike (as many of yours will be), was stolen by a professional, well at least somebody who makes their living from stealing bikes. The thieves were caught on CCTV, in Central London at the junction of a main road, who got out of their backpack a cordless angle grinder, to quickly 'liberate' my bike. It only takes 30-40 seconds. The bike which had a tracker went from Holborn, to Enfield to Cardiff and then two address in Birmingham. The organised crime gangs are clearly being allowed to get away with it. Had I had my new D1000 lock on the bike, it probably would not have been stolen, but anything less than the Sold Secure diamond level protection is pretty easy to steal, sadly.”
“Great products, fair pricing for protecting my bike. I just wish the installation instructions came printed with the items rather than having to download them and print them at home (if you even can). It took about a week for my parcel to arrive also (to the UK).”
“Easy ordering experience. I must have foolishly ordered two pair when I thought I only ordered one. Still, I'm glad I did because one of the locks I ordered wouldn't stay zipped. If you pulled band down and away from the lock, it could be easily pulled apart. That said, the other 3 locks work great. I have one permanently wrapped around my saddle bag and feel much more confident leaving my new kinda swanky bike outside the cafe mid-ride.”
“Great product, well packaged and arrived in perfect working order. A keyring gift was provided due to the extended lead time for shipping. Overall I recommend.”
“Great product. So useful to be able to attach it round ones waist when cycling. Only wish it was a little longer to be able lock around larger lampposts etc. Great service: easy ordering, very informative pleasant team willing to answer questions and speedy delivery. Very happy”
