About Us

buildING quality security riders can trust in.

In 2009, a bike was stolen. So co-founders, Ben Smith and John Abrahams set out to change security for cyclists.

Ben and John are product designers by trade and cyclists at heart. With over 25 years of combined design and cycle industry experience, they’ve expanded their mission to deliver trusted, high-quality security for both bicycle and motorcycle riders.

When they aren’t at the drawing board or the testing table at Hiplok’s UK Design Headquarters, you’ll find them riding bikes.

THIS IS HIPLOK.

ANTI-ANGLE GRINDER SECURITY

All Hiplok locks face a full testing and development process, using real-world attack methods, to ensure they are as strong as possible for purpose. Our 1000 Series features the world’s first anti-angle grinder bike lock, and two revolutionary anchors to secure your bike.

INNOVATIVE DESIGN

We design innovative security products using cutting-edge materials to solve real problems for riders. From launching the Hiplok ORIGINAL to the 1000 Series, our innovation has led to new product sectors and award wins including BikeBiz Brand of the Year 2024.

CUSTOMER-FIRST COMMITMENT

We design products with rider feedback in mind, focusing on what riders actually need. Our high quality products are built to last, with selected locks covered by a lifetime warranty. With global shipping and free UK returns, we prioritise customer experience.
