Mark one side of your lock and one side of your key. Then you will always insert it correctly.

hey! great review! I know I am a few months late but I just thought I'd add that: while you don't need it on an alarmed lock and it makes unlocking it without the alarm going off harder, the shape of the keyhole makes it harder to pick the lock!

It’s a more than decent alarm lock. All these people commenting that it would still get stolen if they want to... of course. It’s called a deterrent alarm , not preventive theft alarm. But it will give me time to arm myself and neutralize the thief. A couple of seconds is all I need.

Another + on this lock is that the shackle is big enough to fit it on a big chain. If someone tries to mess with the chain, the alarm goes off. 💪🏻 I got the Kryptonite Fahgetaboudit 1415 and the Abus Granit Power Chain 37 14KS black loop.

I have one of these locks ,but even when the key is inserted the correct way around I have to jiggle & struggle with the key to insert it fully & turn it .The Alarm is for me to hear ,the general public will take no notice of any alarm ,they are not going to risk struggling with the criminals over a strangers motorcycle & possibly getting stabbed .If anything the alarm going off is more likely to annoy people .Also a disc lock on its own will not prevent your bike or scooter being lifted into a criminal gangs van ,you should always lock it with a secure chain to a secure immovable object in a well illuminated area in plain view of CCTV cameras .This will only put off opportunist thieves ,if professional thieves target your bike they will get it one way or other .

You should still put a high quality motorcycle cover over your bike even if you have chains or locks with or without alarms cause at least they can't see anything at first and they might just keep it moving cause it's not as easy since they can't see it. I put a big huge quilt over my motorcycle and then use the all seasons high quality motorcycle cover over top of that especially if i have it outside thru the winter. Don't make it easy for thieves And also use a tracker just in case is does happen.

@motorgearexpert52525 жыл бұрын
Good question, didn't think of mentioning that! It uses a few (4 or 5 not sure) button cell batteries. They come with the package at first. I've had my alarm for almost 2 years now and didn't have to replace them yet. But I don't use the alarm super often since I only ride for pleasure. If you use it on a day-to-day basis it will probably not last for 2 years.

You mean that they will be able to see if the alarm is armed or not? That's true, although I doubt that many thieves know this. Plus, it's not a bad thing as long as you lock it with the alarm in place! I only use the 'non alarm mode' when I'm transporting my lock or when it's just laying in my garage.
