Description of OnGuard Bulldog DT 5012 Bicycle U-Lock and Extra Security Cable
Popular shackle length with extra locking options provided by the included 4 foot fully coated, braided steel cable.Keep your bike safe while visiting theft-heavy neighborhoods with the OnGuard Bulldog DT U-lock, which comes with an extra security cable. The Bulldog DT offers a 13mm hardened steel shackle that provides maximum cut resistance, along with an X2 double-bolt locking mechanism that locks to two sides of the bar, providing added strength and high pull resistance. The pick-, pull-, and drill-resistant M-Cylinder delivers even more protection, with a BumpBlok mechanism that renders bump keys useless. Similar to the tumbler systems found on high-end European autos, the M-Cylinder has more than 100,000 possible key combinations. These tumblers won't turn unless the key is properly inserted, protecting both the key and tumbler from damage due to misuse. The lock mechanism is also completely encased in ultra-hardened steel to resist drilling, picking, or pulling, while an integrated dust cover protects the internals from moisture and debris.
As a bonus, the Bulldog DT includes a heavy-duty, extra-flexible 10mm steel cable, letting you double your protection or lock up another bike on the same rack. Other features include an all-tube, quick-release, multi-position mounting bracket, protective coatings on the cross bar and shackle, and a tough vinyl cable cover. The Bulldog DT comes with five laser-cut keys, one of which has an LED micro-light to help you open the lock after dark. OnGuard believes so strongly in the Bulldog DT that it offers an anti-theft protection offer of $1,501 for bikes and $501 for power sport vehicles.
Sports reviews of OnGuard Bulldog DT 5012 Bicycle U-Lock and Extra Security Cable
Customer Review: No problems so far!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I've had this lock for over a month now and overall, it's been a good experience. I haven't had any of the key problems mentioned by some other reviewers (I did notice that the key will not turn smoothly if the lock is loose - so, if you want your key to turn well, make sure that the bar and the U are flush and fully engaged.) The lock is definitely pretty heavy-duty, and excellent for that old trick of "park next to a nicer bike with a cable lock." So far I've not had any problems leaving my bike downtown in a fairly thief-heavy town (Santa Cruz, CA).
The reason I gave four stars, not five, is that the thing is damn heavy. And, if you're like me and your bike is teeny because you're teeny - well, there's nowhere to mount the holder on your bike, because it WILL interfere with your movement. I can't even fit in on the seatpost! So, to other small bicyclists, be warned: This thing is not so comfy to carry in a backpack.
Customer Review: 1st Bike Lock
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This is my first bike lock for my Diamond Back Response Sport 08. The reason I got it is because I usually ride my bike to the lake and like to jog also so I have to leave it locked some how. So I saw the nice price and got it. The U lock is heavy, the piece you attach to the hold the lock to your bike in place is really poor its basically a strap that you tighten to your frame and and a clip that holds the u lock in place while riding. The strap/clip item failed. It doesnt lock in place and the u lock falls out BUT thankfully I found a better way to attach it to the bike just by locking it to the frame and using the cable from one end of the bike to the other. This is my first lock, so as far as the holder it all really depends on your frame of bike so larger the frame the easier it is to fit/attach the strap to it, but the clip part is weak is made out of plastic.Customer Review: Good enough.

I don't use the cable; the lock is heavy enough on its own. The mounting mechanism is truly awful, I had it mounted vertically and the plastic broke on it after maybe a month of using it. While it worked it worked just okay. I have a friend who mounted it horizontally though, and hers has held up. I've had it for almost a year now and I like the lock itself, I just wish I didn't have to lock it around my neck (handy that it's big enough to do this and I can lock up two bikes with it) put it in my bag or carry it in one hand. The tiny flashlight has actually come in super handy more than once and for more than just unlocking/locking my bike. The keys seem delicate, so I am cautious with them, but I haven't had one break on me. This one gets a 4, but if I could find a 5, I'd go with that next time.Customer Review: Strong, Safe and BIG

Yup, this is a big one! I can't imagine ANYONE being able to steal a bike (if you attach it like they tell you to with the cable) or your front wheel/tire -- and you don't have to take it off the fork to secure it!!! That's a shortcoming with a lock that DOESN'T include a cable. Even with a quick-release front wheel, it's a pain to take it off and then put it back on (straight) when you return to your bike. But if you don't have a way to carry this thing, you might decide it's too big and bulky. I've decided it's worth the trouble of lugging it around, but then I ride in the city and prefer to have a bike to ride rather than an empty front fork -- or worse -- an empty bike rack.Customer Review: It works...

I got this thing at a walmart and it actually worked pretty good. I just got a very expensive bicycle and so I went on Amazon to find a longer/tougher lock. and so I looked up the one I have (this one) and I see that it got some mixed reviews. I will give it 4 starts because it works great and it is secure, price is good, BUT I wish it was a bit longer. I have to lockup sometimes my 2 bikes toguether and this is not long enough to lock them to secure pole. Still a great product if you only want to lock up one bike.
