Hiplok's range of stylish wearable bicycle locks is being joined by what the British company describes as the world's first high-security bike storage hanger designed for use inside or out.
The Airlok is compatible with almost every type of bike. The simple design makes a thief’s life difficult by placing the gold-rated lock mechanism out of reach.
The non-pickable key mechanism has been tested by the Locksmith's Association and is the same design used and proven in the gold-rated Hiplok bicycle locks.
What’s wrong with keeping your bicycle in the shed?
Assuming you have a shed, thieves now target them specifically for the bicycles within and as a result, many cycle insurance companies now insist on a high level of door lock security. Cycle insurance from the ETA has a sympathetic policy towards keeping bicycle sin a shed; you can use any type of lock to secure the door and the bike doesn’t have to be locked while left inside – although if it’s visible through a window you have to cover it with a blanket or similar.
