Weather-Resistant Keyed Bike Cable Lock — 70 in, 8mm, Black
Product description
This keyed cable lock combines a hardened steel core with a weather-resistant plastic coating to protect the cable from the elements and reduce scratching on frames and furniture. The cable measures 70 inches (about 178 cm) long and has an 8mm diameter, providing ample reach to wrap around racks, posts, benches, or other anchor points.
The lock ships with two cut keys and a small rubber key cover to keep the keyway clear of dirt and moisture. The mechanism is designed so you can push the cable end into the lock to secure it without needing a key to engage; a key is required only to unlock and remove the cable.
Backed by a one-year limited warranty, this cable is intended for everyday use with helmets, bicycles, backpacks, luggage and similar items. It offers convenience and weather resistance for outdoor use, though it is best suited for deterring opportunistic theft rather than resisting heavy tools.
Pros
- Weatherproof plastic jacket
- Comes with two keys and key cover
- Long 70-inch length with 8mm steel core
Cons
- Not designed to resist heavy cutting tools
- Key-based unlocking requires carrying a spare
- Lightweight security — best for low to moderate risk
VerdictA practical, weatherproof keyed cable lock offering generous length and a sturdy-feeling 8mm steel core. It’s easy to operate and comes with two keys plus a key cover, making it a useful deterrent for securing bikes, benches, or outdoor equipment. While it won’t stop heavy-duty bolt cutters, its coating and straightforward locking make it a reliable everyday option for light to moderate security n

Basic protection for patio storage
Provides minimal theft prevention for bikes left on a patio. Design is fine but the coiled shape is a bit awkward.

Cut easily — not secure enough
Thieves cut through this cable quickly and stole my scooter. Not suitable where determined attackers are a concern.
