BRINKS - 3 7/8” Mini U-Bar Lock - Weather Resistant and Pick Resistant Bike Lock, Blue

This is a great lock! I purchased it along with a thick cable to lock my CT70 clone to my wife's Honda Navi when we would go on rides and want to stop. This thing is bulky and tough. I figured it would take someone a while to get through this security lock. The locking mechanism is easy to use. Happy with my purchase, as you will be too!

Yes yes yes awesome locks

I use to lock .y motorcycle by attacj9 g it to the disk brake. Very sturdy

Surprisingly for me (I never heard about the Brinks brand), these locks are manufactured by Hampton products, a California-based company. I did not check where the lock is actually made, and now the packaging is already thrown away. It is a rather small lock (fits into the palm of my hand) and is relatively light (let's say, lighter than I expected - which made me wonder what metal it is made of, and how much metal is under the blue silicone coating). The size is adequate to use it with a bicycle security cable or a chain. Some people wrote in their reviews that this lock is hard to lock and unlock, I got two of these locks and found just the opposite to be true - it locks and unlocks very smoothly with no effort. Regarding security, I am not an expert in assessing lock security, but I can tell that it has a tubular lock (comes with two keys). This is a type of key which is used in all low end bicycle locks and, to my non-professional understanding, is considered a fairly low security type of lock which is easier to pick than more complex types of locks. Of course, there is no lock which cannot be opened or broken by a skilled thief; locks in this price range must be on the easy side for a pro to open, but at least it is a theft deterrent. It is labelled "water resistant", but not waterproof, if that matters. So, probably, it is not designed for a full time outdoor use if they lock is exposed to rain on a regular basis.

A friend had their bicycle stolen. That made me look for the strongest lock a cable for my bike. After narrowing down my choices. I decided on Brinks for both.

I needed this for an antique boat chain which is decorative in my yard. It sits in the Florida sun 24/7 and it looks as new as the day I bought it. Whatever your use for it is know it will stand the test of Florida weather. lol

Unfortunately, for me, this doesn’t work because I have multiple cables and there’s not enough room to lock this in place but durability I would give it five stars.

This lock is pretty sturdy BUT I can't even lock it. I have been trying for over 10 minutes. Other reviewers have the same issue. This thing is too much aggravation and I will be returning it.
