Bike Lock Cable Bicycle Lock – resettable 5-digit high-security combination lock (1500mm x 12mm)

Quick overview

This bike lock cable is a straightforward, heavy-duty option for day-to-day theft resistance when you can’t park somewhere fully protected. It uses a resettable 5-digit combination, factory set to 00000, and you can change it to your own code using the included instructions. For most people, the big appeal is not remembering a key—just setting the code and moving on.

On paper, it’s aimed at being a practical “secure the basics” lock: twisted steel cable, rubber-coated protection for the cable, and a rust-resistant metal security pin. The cable itself is 1500mm long and 12mm thick, which gives you more flexibility than shorter cables when you’re looping around a bike rack, rail, or gate.

What to know before you buy

There’s a nice balance here between flexibility and security, but it’s not magic. A cable lock can be useful, particularly for quick errands, commuting, or securing a scooter/bike to something solid. The 5-digit combination also helps with everyday convenience, especially if you’ve ever misplaced keys or want to avoid carrying another key on top of everything else.

Worth keeping in mind: changing from the factory code is essential. If you don’t reset it straight away, you’re essentially leaving the default combination in place.

Also, the product is described as handling high temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius while staying in shape. That’s reassuring for summer use, but it doesn’t automatically mean it’s immune to long-term outdoor wear—so if your main concern is corrosion over years in damp coastal conditions, you’ll still want to be a bit sensible about where and how it’s stored.

Key features that matter in real life

What you’ll notice day to day is the mix of thickness and practical length. The cable is described as twisted steel, 12mm in diameter, with a rubber coating. That rubber layer is there to help protect the cable, and in everyday use it can also feel less harsh when it rubs against frames, racks, or nearby surfaces.

A 1500mm cable length can make a difference. If your usual parking spot has wider spacing—like some gate fences or thicker rails—you’re less likely to find yourself one loop short.

The lock is delivered with a bicycle holder (not just the lock), which should help with mounting it neatly and carrying it without it flapping about. The security pin is described as rustproof metal, and the cable lock’s main material has been upgraded to be more durable.

Who it suits (and who should be cautious)

It’s a good fit if you want a combination cable lock for commuting and quick stops, and you value flexibility from a 1500mm reach. It makes sense if you routinely lock a bicycle, scooter, or other object to a gate, fence, or bike rack, and you prefer the convenience of a code over managing keys.

It may not be a great match if you’re locking something very high-value for long periods in high-risk areas. Cable locks can be more about improving day-to-day protection than providing the strongest possible deterrent against dedicated attacks. In those scenarios, you may want to think about a more secure locking setup—especially if you’re thinking in terms of extended time unattended.

Getting the most from it

If you buy this lock, the “how you loop it” part matters. Try to pass the cable through or around the most robust part of the bike/frame and through the wheels only if your situation allows. The thicker 12mm cable gives you some confidence, but a lock is only as useful as what it’s actually gripping.

Also, reset the code immediately after unpacking, then write it down somewhere safe until you’ve memorised it. It’s not perfect, but it’s a common mistake to leave the factory code unchanged.

Finally, because it’s rubber-coated, avoid leaving it trapped against sharp edges that could tear the coating over time.

Is it worth it?

Worth considering if you want a resettable 5-digit bike lock cable with a decent length for everyday parking, plus rust-resistant details and rubber-coated protection for more comfortable handling. It suits practical riders who want an easier alternative to keys and plan to secure bikes or scooters to fences, gates, or racks.

You may want to skip it if you’re buying for long, high-risk unattended parking or you’re expecting maximum security. The description focuses on resistance to hacksaws, bolt cutters and rust, but cable locks in general are usually best viewed as a strong everyday barrier rather than an all-out solution.

If you’re after a code-based lock for frequent use and you’ll lock to something solid, this one looks like a sensible purchase.
