OnGuard Bulldog DT 5012 Bicycle U-Lock and Extra Security Cable

got a lemon

After careful research, I found this lock to be the best value -- strong and well-priced. I sent it to my son at college. After using it for a few days, he was unable to open it for a few days in a row, he said. Then one day he got it to work. He used it for a few days and then he could not open it when he stuck the key in again. It was just jambed shut. After about two weeks of trouble, he bought another lock. I am not sure if he just got a lemon or if there is an inherent problem with this lock.

Nice lock, with a good price, tumblers needed graphite....

Nice U bolt lock and short cable for the money. Added lock graphite powder to the lock because the pin tumblers seemed dry. The key is keyed so it will only slide in one way, i.e it is not symmetrical. Used fingernail polish to mark one side of the key and marked the side of the lock near keyhole so I could tell how to insert it.

One couldn't ask for a more versetile bike lock. The extra security cable makes all of the difference in the world. When locking one's bike to something other than a standard bike rack; the extra security cable is most convenient.

Excellent and won't get the bike stolen.

Ok, so the bike it guards is almost 15 years old, and this is a bit of overkill, but it's my bike!!! This is about as much protection as you could possibly need unless you live in downtown DC or the Bronx.
