help Hiplok D1000 Chain Lock FAQ
Can the Hiplok D1000 actually resist an angle grinder attack?
Yes, the D1000 features a patented 16mm thick, dual-core manganese steel construction specifically engineered to withstand angle grinder attacks. Independent tests, including those by popular cycling lock reviewers, have shown it can blunt standard battery-powered grinder discs and significantly delay thieves.
How heavy is the Hiplok D1000 chain lock?
The Hiplok D1000 weighs roughly 2.5 kilograms (about 5.5 pounds), making it noticeably heavy for daily bicycle commuting. Due to this substantial weight, it is uniquely designed to be worn around the waist like a belt while riding, rather than carried in a backpack.
What length is the Hiplok D1000 chain, and will it fit around a standard bike rack?
The chain is 90cm (about 35 inches) long. This length provides enough slack to comfortably secure a bicycle frame and wheel to standard street furniture, like a parking meter or thick pole, without being so long that it rests on the ground where it is easier to smash.
Is the Hiplok D1000 rated by Sold Secure?
Yes, the Hiplok D1000 has achieved the prestigious Sold Secure Bicycle Diamond rating, which is the highest security tier available in the UK. This rating guarantees it provides the ultimate level of protection against theft attacks in independent testing.
