If you're an avid cyclist or if cycling is simply your preferred method of transport, you want to make sure that your bike is protected against opportunistic bike thieves. A bike lock can be used to secure your bicycle, preventing it from being stolen or damaged.
Choosing the right bike lock is essential if you want to keep your bike safe and out of harm's way. Not only can a quality bike lock provide you with the security that you need, but it can also offer the peace of mind that your beloved wheels will remain right where you left them.
If you ride a bike regularly, it's a great investment – one that suits your budget and security needs. Whether you're looking for reliable chain locks, the lightest chain locks, cable locks, high-security folding locks or locks that secure multiple bikes at once, the bicycle locks we provide at LockShop Direct offer a simple yet portable security deterrent.
The Best Bike Locks at LockShop Direct
Like our selection of padlocks and chains, the bike locks available in our online store feature some of the best-known brands in the space, letting you lock up your bike with complete confidence.
Wondering which lock body offers the best security? Generally, locks are categorised with a 'Sold Secure Rating.' These different security ratings are the internationally recognised standard by which the effectiveness of bike locks is judged, in the following brackets:
- Sold Secure Bronze Rating
- Sold Secure Silver Rating
- Sold Secure Gold Rating
- Sold Secure Diamond Rating (Resistant to angle grinder attacks)
A high Sold Secure Rating means your bike is more resistant to advanced theft methods. A Gold Sold Secure rating, for instance, can defend against dedicated tools like bolt cutters for around five minutes, giving thieves very little time before being caught. Diamond-rated locks, on the other hand, are angle grinder resistant, having stood up to an angle grinder test in the production process. They're also mildly resistant to other power tools, not just to angle grinder discs and reinforced chain links, making them an attractive option for high-value bikes.
Certain brands, like ABUS, highlight the importance of Sold Secure ratings for both primary and secondary locks in reducing the number of stolen bikes. So be sure to read the product description thoroughly and compare with other chain locks to find the best chain locks for your bike!
Our bike locks are designed to stand the test of time and resist the signs of rust. As well as this, they are made to be easy to fit to the frame of your bike, offering secure attachment options.

Bicycle Chains
Depending on where you plan to leave your bike unattended, a heavy-duty bicycle chain or portable chain may be your best option! Needless to say, risky situations are more likely to require a heavy-duty chain; however, you need to consider how much weight you can afford to carry with you.
A bike chain is a favourite amongst commuters because it provides a simple yet reliable solution for bike security. Our security chains are designed to prevent the risk of damage, and they are minimally invasive, meaning less damage or scratching to your bike frame. You may also want to consider pairing it with a ground anchor for added security.
Every bike chain lock you choose from LockShop Direct is supplied with 2 keys as standard or as a combination lock option, and is manufactured to meet security standards.
