Nice U bolt lock and short cable for the money.n

Added lock graphite powder to the lock because the pin tumblers seemed dry.n
The key is keyed so it will only slide in one way, i.e it is not symmetrical. Usedn
fingernail polish to mark one side of the key and marked the side of then
lock near keyhole so I could tell how to insert it.

OnGuard PitBull MINI DT 5008 Bicycle U-Lock and Extra Security Cable Best and easiest lock to use.

One couldn’t ask for a more versetile bike lock. The extra security cable makes all of the difference in the world. When locking one’s bike to something other than a standard bike rack; the extra security cable is most convenient.

Ok, so the bike it guards is almost 15 years old, and this is a bit of overkill, but it’s my bike!!! This is about as much protection as you could possibly need unless you live in downtown DC or the Bronx.

After moving to Los Angeles, I needed to buy a second U-LOCK as bike’s are a hot item to be stolen. One u-lock to lock my front wheel to the frame, and the second to lock the frame, back wheel, to a post, etc. I bought this U-LOCK not knowing the company, but it was sturdy and good feel and at a good price. n

I had a HORRIBLE experience with this lock. My second time using this, the key broke off like butter while I was opening it. I have owned many U-LOCKS in the past and know how to not force the key, so I wasn’t using much force at all. The key broke off inside the lock, leaving me stranded. I’ll avoid my heroic details of finding my way home to then return with the 2nd key and plyers to remove the stuck key. n

The key (you get two) that is made for this lock is EXTRA thin. All U-LOCK keys are thin and should never be forced, but this is a terrible design and major flaw. It’s a good lock, but comes with a terrible key, so I would not suggest buying this.
