Pinhead locks are sold by quality bicycle retailers throughout North America and Europe. They are installed on the wheels, seatpost, saddle or headset of any bicycle to lock these components to the bicycle frame. These component locks use a special coded key to install, lock and un-lock all the components on that bicycle. Each key is engraved with a nine-digit code. Once installed, the Pinhead component locks remain on the bicycle when it is used, protecting these major components from theft.

“We have worked on the City Lock for several years through what seemed like an endless number of prototypes. We stayed committed to our goal of offering something better and different than other U-locks.

We are excited about this new product. It is attractive, and features two big improvements over other U-locks. At 660 grams, it is ½ the weight of other frame locks; and comes with an integrated seat tube mounting bracket for ultra-convenient weight-balanced stowage while riding. The lock features a patented device we call “hidden access”. The locking mechanism is hidden, and is not visible. It is much harder to break into something you can’t see.

Our new product #134 packages the City lock with matching wheel and seatpost locks. Now the consumer can have one key to protect the whole bicycle including the frame and all major components.

Bicycle theft is a big issue for commuters in major cities. Many of these people must leave their bike exposed every day. In many places, if they can’t steal the bike, they’ll steal the parts.”
