Security Product of the Year
Burg-Wächter – Sold Secure Bicycle Security Solution Kit
This all-in-one-box ‘Police Approved’ bicycle security kit includes three key security items: • An extra strong security anchor made from solid plate steel. It makes the ideal anchor point to secure a bike to with a strong chain. Anti-tamper fixings ensure once installed, this anchor isn’t getting removed. • A strong chain ensures that anyone trying to cut through it with a hacksaw or bolt croppers will have their work cut out. This chain has hardened Ø10mm chain links that resist cutting and cropping and offers 2.0 metres of length. Perfect for securing the bicycle securely to the wall anchor. • A U-bolt padlock with hardened steel shackle and body meaning trying to cut through it is going to be hard work. The shackle removes completely from the body, allowing it to be easily threaded through the chain to lock the ends together.
Every item in this kit is tested and certified by Sold Secure, the
premier testing and certification house for security products. On top of that, they meet ‘Secured by Design’ accreditation – the official police crime prevention initiative through good product design. This means this product meets the requirements of household insurance companies, ensuring your bicycle isn’t just protected, it is insured too. Even better, for the first time, everything you need to secure your bicycle is included all in one box with all the required fixings. No need to research for what you need – we have done all the hard work for you.
