Chain Locks

About

Chain locks are the strongest visual and physical deterrent against motorcycle theft. This range covers hardened steel chains from Oxford, Kovix, Lok-Up and Whites Motorcycle Parts, with link diameters from 8mm to 10mm, lengths from 1.2m to 2m, and built-in alarm options that sound at the first hint of movement. How to choose a motorcycle chain lock Link diameter is the single most important spec. Thicker hardened links resist bolt cutters and angle grinders for longer, which buys time and pushes thieves toward an easier target. The chains here run 8mm and 10mm in hardened or heat-hardened steel, with lengths from 1.2m to 2m so you can loop through both wheels and a fixed anchor.

The Lok-Up chain triggers a 120db siren on movement, loud enough to draw attention across a car park. Kovix runs the same principle through its Hexagon alarmed lock. A standard chain relies purely on its 8mm or 10mm hardened links, which is enough for shorter stops where the bike stays in view. Anchoring matters A chain is only as secure as what it loops through. Always thread the chain around the frame, not just a wheel, and secure it to a fixed ground anchor or immovable object. Keep the chain off the ground to deny a thief leverage. Pair a 10mm hardened chain with an alarm for overnight security and you have a layered setup that takes serious time and noise to defeat.
