Tony recently contacted us to let us know that LITELOK ONE saved his Cannondale bike, not once, but twice, in Walthamstow, London.
This is his story.
"My bike was locked to a stairwell within a shared stairwell of an apartment building. I had a LITELOK One securing the frame & wheel of the bike to the stairwell balustrades.

Just after Christmas I had the first attempt of my bike being stolen when the thief used a set of bolt croppers to try and cut through the lock (Image 1), eventually giving up. The second attempt (Image 2) came in July this year when the thief returned breaking into our courtyard at 4am and then proceeding to use an angle grinder to attack the lock on my bike this time.

My alarm had just gone for work and the extreme noise of the grinder and the smell of burning steel alerted me to something suspicious, so I went outside to check the stairwell where I confronted the thief trying to break through my LITELOK. He quickly took off grinder in hand and empty handed.
I'm pretty confident the thief was trying for at least 5 minutes before I spooked him and cant thank LITELOK enough for protecting my £800 Cannondale bike."
The LITELOK ONE is independently accredited by Sold Secure Motor Scooter Silver and ART 2, ensuring a high standard of security. For even greater resistance against angle grinders, we recommend investing in a LITELOK X1 or LITELOK X3, which provide enhanced protection for those who want the ultimate in bike security. Tony’s gratitude reinforces the value of investing in high-quality locks, keeping your bike safe from even the most persistent theft attempts.
