Hiplok Homie Heavy Duty Bicycle Chain Lock - Secure Your Bike at Home, Garage, or Apartment | Anti-Theft Bike Security for Urban Commuters

I was looking for a home security system for my bike...NOT something to haul around with me on my rides. This chain is a BEHEMOTH!!! It's thick and heavy and intimidating and ....... sexy. I did deep research before buying this chain and I know that nothing is "unbreakable". That being said, this does NOT make it easy for a thief. I sleep easier at night knowing this chain is curled around my bike.If you are looking for the Wearable Hiplok, this is not the one that can be worn as a belt. This is just a long chain with a wall hanging clip!This chain is meant to stay wherever you keep your bike (mine is in a relatively flimsy shed) and secures the bike normally to an anchoring point (I have one of these from the same manufacturer). It seems very sturdy and is nice and long so apparently does the job well. So far nobody has tried to steal me e-bike (hence the four stars), but if an attempt is made then I will change this review taking into account the result. Meanwhile I have satisfied my insurer by providing Gold Standard protection for the bike.One other positive point is the tough tube which surrounds the chain and keeps the bike from being scratched.Bought to lock bikes up in the garage, using with a wall/ground anchor. I'll be the first to admit if someone is hell-bent on getting them, they will, but bought this more as a deterrent to put scallys off due to the effort/noise in getting past it.It is chunky and heavy! Definitely something to stay at home. Obviously haven't tested the chain against bolt-cutters/hacksaw or angle grinder but looks and feels like its something that will be a challenge. The chain is wrapped in a thick nylon fabric which protects your bikes/belongings.The lock feels substantial and also looks well protected from people trying to attack the shackle itself. Had no problems locking/unlocking.The chain is long enough to go through a wall anchor and around the frames of four bikes so does what I need I think if we had any more bikes I'd buy another chain and anchor.It wasn't cheap but its weighing up the cost of what its protecting and the hassle of replacing the bikes if they did get stolen. In my book its worth spending a few % of the cost of the bike(s) to protect them.After having my bike stolen from my locked garage, I needed to beef up the security in there.To do this, I've installed two 'ground anchors' to the wall and needed a quality chain to secure the bikes to it.This Hiplock one is 10mm thick, which should stop all but the hugest of bolt cutters (another reason I chain to the wall and not the floor) - It's also 'Sold Secure Gold' rated, which is required by my insurance company.Obviously it wouldn't hold up too well to an angle grinder, but then nothing much would. It's more about deterrent for the thieves really.The chain comes with a nice solid padlock, three keys and a 'mounting/storage' hook so you can hang it on the wall when not in use. This hook also doubles as a helmet holder, which is a nice touch.The only negative I have is that I'd like it to have maybe been a little longer (180cm would be ideal for my application) but I can't fault the chain for that. It would also massively increase the price, which at £60 including the padlock is a complete bargain.I was impressed enough with my initial purchase, that I then I bought another one for double security. :)Heavy duty “stay at home” lock… I read at least one review expecting this lock to be wearable. It isn’t difficult to read that this is meant to stay wherever you intend to lock your bike on a regular and perhaps daily basis. This does just that. I have a few bikes and I use 2 d locks (abus granit extreme) and a chain. No thefts and no attempts even though over the course of three months seven bikes had been stolen from the same storage / bicycle loops… mainly secured with cable locks that could be cut with a pair of garden shears but the kids did use portable angle grinders anyway!Great chain, could of been alittle longer but this is the length of chain you get from other manufacturers. Go's great with the Hiplok ANKR.The newer version does not have the black plastic cover on top of the key. This is when you know you have got the new and improved version of key. As its slightly different to the other type of key.
