OnGuard Bulldog DT 5012 Bicycle U Lock and Extra Security Cable – Reviews

Haven’t used the lock in a few months, and I can’t get it to open (I have the key, and it turns the lock, but can’t get the lock to pull apart).
I thought this lock was well made, and secure, but it isn’t working now. So, this is a quality issue. I will be able to return it to the store I bought it from, and get a replacement, but it is something to consider.

I shopped around for a good u-lock and finally decided on the OnGuard Bulldog DT 5012. I was originally going to go for the Onguard Brute but as soon as I picked it up, I knew right a way that this lock wasn’t right for me. I can’t take a lock that weighs way more than my bike. It was very heavy at over 4 lbs but I am sure that is why it is so strong. The OnGuard Bulldog is a nice size where it isn’t too big or too small. I can’t go for the Bulldog mini because the mini won’t fit many posts that I use. This Bulldog is just the right size…. One poster said that he left his bike overnight in the Brooklyn projects. This is a heavy crime area and especially leaving overnight is a recipe for disaster that I think the more expensive and better secure lock would have to do. If someone is in a heavy crime area, SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY FOR THE KRYPTONITE FAHGETTABOUT U-Lock or the On-Guard Brute U-Lock.

Pros:
1. 13 mm hardened steel
2. It’s not too big or too small. Its a tad bit large but i

i live in brooklyn and after doing our research my boyfriend and i decided to get this lock set- we weren’t disappointed. solid quality lock that is still light and easy to bring around with you (unlike those kryptonite chains you see people riding around with wearing them like midevil torture belts) we’ve never had a problem- the only thing i would want to upgrade is that the cord is a bit short for my bike, though my boyfriend ha had not problem- i just got an additional cord- no problem…

The key on this product has a thin area right above the notches that fit the tumblers. In my case, this caused it to break off in the lock earlier today (I did not apply excessive force, knowing from experience the hassles a broken key can cause ). Now, the only way of getting my bike off that stand is for me to go home, bring back my rotary tool and cutting disc and have at it (if that works, this thing is hardened steel) . The lock itself might be as safe as the Bank of England, but I would advise against buying this product because of the key.

Update: the “13mm hardened steel shackle” on this lock took about five minutes to cut through with my little-bitty cordless Dremel, so I shudder to think how easy a job it would be for any thief with a “professional” tool. In retrospect, I am happy the key broke off and that I had to get rid of this lock.
