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 criminals. 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're 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 to make – one that suits your budget and security needs. Whether you're looking for reliable chain locks, cable locks, high-security folding locks or locks to secure multiple bikes at once, the bicycle locks we provide at LockShop Direct offer a simple yet effective deterrent.
The Best Bike Locks at LockShop Direct
Much 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 your bike up with complete confidence.
Wondering which lock body offers the best security? Generally, locks of this type 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 (Angle grinder-resistant)
A high sold secure rating means your bike is less prone to some of the more advanced theft methods for a period of time. A gold sold secure rating, for instance, can defend against dedicated tools for around five minutes, giving thieves very little time before they're caught. Diamond-rated locks, on the other hand, feature angle grinder resistance, having stood up to an angle grinder test in the production process. They're also mildly resistant to other power tools, not just angle grinder discs, making them an attractive option for high-value bikes.
Certain brands, like Abus Locks, highlight the importance of Sold Secure ratings for both primary and secondary locks in preventing bike thefts. So be sure to read the product description thoroughly and browse our full range to find the best lock 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, with plenty of internal locking space

Bicycle Chains
Depending on where you plan to leave your bike unattended, a heavy-duty bicycle chain may be your best option! Needless to say that 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. When securing your bike with a chain, you can rest assured that the chains are designed to prevent the risk of damage, and they are minimally invasive, meaning that there is less damage or scratching made to your bike frame.
Any bike chain that you choose from LockShop Direct is supplied with 2 keys as standard and is manufactured with your unique needs in mind.
