FAQ
What length of coiled cable lock should I choose for my gate?
For standard garden gates up to 1.5m wide, a 1.5m or 2m coiled cable lock is typically sufficient. For wider gates or those that need to wrap around both gate posts, a 3m or 5m length is recommended. For bicycle use, a 1.5m cable works for securing the frame to a single bike rack, while a 2m or 3m cable allows securing both wheels and the frame. The coiled design means the actual extended length is approximately 80% of the stated length due to the coil memory.
How secure is a braided steel cable lock against cutting?
Braided steel cable locks provide good resistance against hand tools like bolt cutters and hacksaws, especially in 10-12mm diameters. The braided construction means multiple steel strands must be cut through, and the braided pattern can deflect cutting tools. However, like all cable locks, they are not designed to withstand heavy power tools. For maximum security, use the cable lock in combination with a ground anchor or hardened steel structure, and consider a U-lock or chain lock for high-risk areas. The PVC coating also helps prevent saw blades from getting a clean bite on the steel.
Can I get keyed alike cable locks for multiple gates?
Yes, we offer keyed alike (KA) and master key (MK) system options for the LD-382 coiled cable lock. Keyed alike means all locks in your order open with the same key, which is convenient for managing multiple gates or access points with a single key. The master key system provides individual keys for each lock plus one master key that opens all locks. Custom key systems have a slightly longer lead time of 20-25 days and may require a minimum order quantity. Please contact our sales team to discuss your specific keying requirements.
Are these cable locks suitable for outdoor use in all weather conditions?
Yes, the LD-382 coiled cable lock is designed for outdoor use. The braided steel core is fully coated with PVC vinyl that provides excellent protection against rain, snow, UV exposure, and general weathering. The zinc alloy lock head resists corrosion, and the brass pin tumbler cylinder maintains smooth operation even in humid and coastal environments. We recommend occasional lubrication of the lock cylinder with graphite lubricant to maintain optimal performance in dusty or sandy environments. With proper care, these locks will provide years of reliable outdoor service.
