Abus Amparo 4850 LH KR OEM Frame Lock

Didn't come with required mounting strips rendering it useless

Works great. Suggest the one that you don't leave the key in while open. What would happen if someone locked your bike while parked somewhere

I purchase this lock for my bicycle. it did not bolt on as it a bike for the United State. I made it work on my bike.

Hard to install. No instructions included

Uncommon Lock. I purchased several of these in Holland. I placed one on the back side of the front fork and one on the back of the seat stays.I attached the locks by drilling 1/8 holes and attaching with stainless steel pop-rivets. 4 rivets per lock. I then sent the bike with my daughter to college. The locks are very easy to use. Since there is no place in her dorm to secure the bike it is left outside. She locks both wheels and uses a cable from one of the Abus locks to attach to a secure object. The other day my daughter called very distraught. Someone had tried to steal her bike in the middle of the night. They started removing the back wheel and then realized that it was locked on. I guess the thieves in the United States are not accustomed to frame locks and at night may have not even seen it until they got started. In any case I walked her through attaching her rear wheel and she was very happy that the bike was back in riding condition. Very simple to use and the key is not removable untill the bicycle is locked, so you will never forget the key.

I bought my Abus frame lock in Germany. I love this lock, it provides added security with my cable lock. The lock mounts on the bike frame and goes through the back wheel. At first, the key stuck in the lock when it was in the open position but after using it a few times, the key comes out with little effort.I have used the Abus lock without a cable lock but only when I could keep an eye on the bike.The lock keeps the bike from rolling but not from being carried away.
