SEPOX cable locks give you reach a rigid lock cannot: a coiled steel cable that loops around a frame, post or rack and locks into place. The 6FT model combines a cable combination lock dial with a mounting bracket, so you can set your code once and ride off.

Cable locks are the right tool for opportunistic security — bikes and scooters outside a shop, grills and garden furniture overnight, ladders and tools left on a site. They are light to carry and do not scratch frames the way a heavy chain can.

For higher-crime areas, use a cable as your secondary lock and pair it with a U-lock or a hardened chain, or step up to our smart bike lock range for fingerprint and app unlock.

What a cable lock is for

A cable lock does one thing a rigid padlock cannot: it reaches. The flexible steel cable loops around a post, a bike frame, a ladder rack or a gate, then locks back onto itself. That reach is why cable locks are the standard choice for anything that must be tethered to something fixed.

Common uses

• Bicycles and e-scooters — loop the frame and a wheel to a rack or post.
• Luggage and bags — lock a case to a rack on a train or in a hostel.
• Generators, mowers and tools — tether portable equipment to a fixed point so it cannot simply be carried off.
• Gates and garden furniture — lock two objects together where a hasp will not reach.

Cable thickness and its real meaning

A thicker cable resists cutting better, but no hand cable is cut-proof. The honest goal is to make your item harder to take than the one next to it. For a bicycle, the weak link is usually the frame mount, not the cable; loop the cable through the frame, not just a wheel.

Combination or key?

A combination cable lock needs nothing carried and is ideal for travel and shared use. A keyed cable lock suits one owner who wants faster unlocking. Both wind into a compact coil for storage in a bag or glovebox.

Frequently asked

Can a cable lock be cut? A determined thief with bolt cutters can cut any consumer cable. Use the thickest cable you can carry and lock to a solid anchor.

Are cable locks weatherproof? Most use a vinyl or PVC sleeve over galvanised steel; a covered lock body keeps the mechanism dry.

What length do I need? 60–90cm suits a bike to a rack; 120cm+ suits two bikes or locking to a thick post.
