Onguard 8114 K9 Heavy Duty Link Plate Lock
The OnGuard K9 Heavy Duty Link Plate Lock (8114) represents the perfect fusion of D-lock security and cable lock versatility in a compact folding design. Measuring 112.5cm (3.69 feet) when fully extended, this innovative folding lock delivers near U-lock level protection whilst offering the flexibility and ease of use that rigid locks cannot match.
Constructed from hardened steel plates measuring 4mm thick by 19.5mm wide, the K9 provides formidable resistance against cutting, sawing, and leverage attacks. Each plate is individually coated with double-layer rubber protection, safeguarding your bicycle’s paintwork and frame finish from scratches whilst adding weather resistance to the lock mechanism. The articulated plate design allows the lock to fold into a remarkably compact package (185 x 78 x 43mm when closed), making transport and storage exceptionally convenient.
Security is at the heart of the K9’s design, featuring OnGuard’s advanced Z-Cylinder key mechanism that is pick-proof, pull-resistant, and drill-resistant. This premium cylinder technology provides exceptional protection against manipulation attempts, ensuring that thieves cannot defeat the lock through common picking or drilling techniques. OnGuard has rated this lock at their Maximum security level with a score of 80 out of 100, placing it amongst their highest-protection offerings.
The K9 comes complete with five laser-cut keys, including one equipped with an integrated LED micro-light for convenient operation in low-light conditions—perfect for early morning commutes or evening lock-ups. The included rubber frame mounting holster fits most bicycle tubes, allowing you to carry the lock securely on your bike frame without rattling or movement during rides.
When fully extended to its 112.5cm length, the K9 provides ample reach to secure your frame and both wheels to fixed street furniture, bike racks, or other solid objects. The folding plate design offers superior flexibility compared to traditional U-locks, allowing you to navigate awkward locking situations and secure your bike to a wider variety of anchor points.
Ideal for urban cyclists, commuters with high-value bikes, and anyone seeking premium protection with maximum versatility, the OnGuard K9 Heavy Duty Link Plate Lock delivers professional-grade security in an intelligently designed package. The combination of hardened steel construction, advanced cylinder technology, and practical folding design makes this an excellent choice for serious cyclists who refuse to compromise on either security or convenience.
