Wordlock WLX Hex MatchKey Cable Bike Lock

This is my first bike lock. I got the thicker cable since the other one seemed too thin. The cable seems adequately thick, it is coated with flexible plastic (I am not sure what the material is exactly). Key+lock = open, keyhole blocker, nothing fancy, just right.Of the 12mm advertised it does look like the plastic is half of it. That was disappointing. What's more disappointing was when I actually used it for the first time. I took the bike out with this lock and when I tried to unlock it to secure the bike, the key broke (check picture). Now, I had tested the key and the lock maybe several times to see how it works, so when it broke it couldn't have been used more than 10 times. The spare key (it comes with a total of 2 keys) is made in the exact same way so I am sure it will brake as quickly. I am not using it, instead I am using the broken key's "key part" by having a key ring go through the small hole it has, in the picture the black bit on the top of the metal, some plastic was stuck in the hole, the part that used to secure it to the plastic key casing. It wasn't a pleasant experience.I am giving it 3 stars because I feel the metal part of the key will survive, the cable lock itself still does feel sturdy even though it's lots of plastic with the metal, and it's one of the cheapest lock options that kinda sorta works.

The cable was a bit short for some situations, forcing us to combine two locks together. Both keys provided worked. Sturdy enough for most uses. We’ve used it to secure our bike and our surge protector to power poles at campgrounds. If you have to secure to something large, like a small tree, no standard cable lock is going to be long enough, but strangely, we had trouble getting around some power poles at campgrounds.

This lock is great. Bought the 5ft and it's long enough to wrap through the front tire, frame, and then rear tire. It came with a set of two keys, which is nice.It is pretty small, but I don't think that takes away any security from the product. I drove my Jeep over it and it still locks properly. There wasn't any real damage caused to it except for scuff marks (not that I care much about that anyway). I highly doubt any thieves would run over it with a vehicle, but I guess it's cool to know that it won't break.Another cool thing about it is that it is really lightweight. It weighs about the same as a full 24 fl oz. water bottle. I have a commuter road bike, and I hate any unnecessary weight. With this lock, I can wrap it around the frame when I'm riding and I won't even know it's there.All in all, this lock is looking really good! Light weight, small, secure, and a great value for the price. I would definitely recommend bikers use this lock.

This is really a nice cable lock. Granted someone if they are strong enough could cut through it with a very large bolt cutters, but it would take a good amount of time. Very heavy duty 12mm most cables run 8mm or so. Should be mentioned that it does use a hex type key which would maqke it very hard to pick. Length is sufficient for locking your bike to a pole etc. It is not long enough to lock both wheels. Pretty heavy in weight Only drawback I found is it doesn't want to straighten out very much. Lock functions very well and has a cover to keep dirt out. I'm very happy with this cable I purchased this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review

Okay I bought this bike lock back in May because my sister came back home from college for the summer and needed to use my bike to go to work.Boy I am glad I bought this lock because someone actually tried to steal the bike on a bright sunny day light. The thief tried to cut the lock and he succeeded in cutting the 1st layer and the surface of the metal wire but and wire held on.It looked like he tried so hard because my bike has black markings from the lock.I am really glad the lock didn't break!Otherwise I would've got my bike stolen.I am planning on duct taping the broken part for sometime.Thanks Wordlock, your lock saved my bike from getting stolen.

This a good lock that is light in weight. I use it on day trips to the store, but I have a lock with a heavier cable that I prefer to use when locking up my bike overnight. This lock is also easy to uncoil for use.

I bought these to lock up some cabinets at work that I noticed people kept nosing around in. For my purposes they're a bit too long, and even for a bike they would seem awfully long to me. However I love the word part on the key. Since I have two of these locks it's great having the word on the key to match up and know which key goes to which lock. If I needed another lock like this I would definitely want another word lock.

Again, if you care about security then get a chain or bar lock. All cable locks are vulnerable to cutting attacks and will be broken by a bike thief. That said, this one is easy to lock and unlock while being lightweight and convenient. If you don't care about attacks this will secure your bike fine. A nice touch is that both sides of the key will work.

After 3 years (stored inside for 99% of those years), the bike lock has become almost impossible to unlock.My wife spent half an hour trying to turn the key before it finally opened.

Cumple con su función, definitivamente se ve de mejor calidad que los candados que regularmente se venden en centros comerciales, no se ve como el más resistente pero si en una calidad acorde al precio pagado, mecanismos suaves y funcionales sin problemas

The delivery was fast! and it is working very good :)

Lock mechanism is already starting to seize up. Poor quality, but you get what you pay for.
