Oxford Heavy Duty Chain Lock 1.5m

The Oxford Heavy Duty (HD) Chain Lock is a mid-range motorcycle security chain built around a 9.5mm hardened square link chain and a double locking padlock. At 1.5 metres it is long enough to loop a wheel and frame through a ground anchor, post or railing, while staying light enough to carry with you on the bike.

It suits riders who want a genuine deterrent for street and overnight parking without the bulk of a full ground-anchor chain. The padlock doubles as a disc lock, so the same unit can be used on its own for shorter stops, and the chain is supplied with three keys plus Oxford's key replacement service.

Part of a three-length range: 1.0m (OF157), 1.5m (OF159) and 2.0m (OF160).

On receipt, note the key number and store it somewhere safe and separate from the lock — it is what allows a replacement key to be made through Oxford's key replacement service if all three keys are lost.
Where possible, pass the chain through the rear wheel and frame and secure it to a ground anchor or other immovable object rather than locking the wheel alone.
Keep the chain up off the ground and reasonably taut when locked, so it is harder to attack with leverage or hammer blows against a hard surface.
For short stops, the padlock can be used on its own through a brake disc as a disc lock — always remove it before riding off.
Close the key dust cover after locking to keep water, road grit and salt out of the barrel.
Wipe the chain and padlock down after wet or salty rides and allow them to dry before storing.
Occasionally apply a light spray lubricant to the lock mechanism and shackle, then wipe away any excess so it does not attract grit or mark paintwork.
Carry and stow the chain in a bag, sleeve or pannier to avoid dragging the links across paint, wheels or exhausts.
Store in a dry place; do not leave the chain permanently on damp ground.
Stop using the lock and replace it if the mechanism becomes stiff or will not lock smoothly, or if the chain links, shackle or lock body show damage.
