Have you ever worried about your bike being stolen, even when you’re at home? You need to securely store your bike in your garage or shed to ensure its safety.
Your ideal locking setup
When storing your bike in a garage, you need to consider:
1) Location
You don’t want to position your bike in any walkways. Avoid awkward spaces where it’ll be difficult to manoeuvre your bike in and out of. The easier it is to access and secure your bike, the more likely you are to do it consistently. Choose a convenient and accessible spot to ensure regular use of your lock.
2) Space available
If you’re limited on space, consider a lock that maximises your available area. An AIRLOK stores your bike completely off the ground, keeping your garage organised without taking up extra room.
3) Number of bikes
If you need to store multiple bicycles, consider a longer chain lock that will allow you to lock several bikes to a single anchor point. If you’re only locking one bike, a D Lock paired with an anchor might be the perfect choice. Select the locking solution that best fits the number of bikes you need to protect.
4) Do you want to use your lock on the move too?
Bigger, bulkier locks, like our MEGA CHAIN are excellent for storing at home, but you wouldn’t be able to take it with you. However, a D lock or wearable chain offers flexibility, allowing you to use it both at home and while you’re out and about.
5) The security level in your area
Depending on the safety of your neighbourhood, you may need a lock with varying Sold Secure ratings. For the highest level of security, consider locks with the gold or diamond rating.
Bike stands
Here are our suggested options for bike stands for your garage:

USING AN AIRLOK
High Security Level
AIRLOK gives all three advantages in one: suitable for various bike frames, can be installed both indoors and outdoors, also provides an attractive way to display your bike on the wall.
HOW TO:
- Position the AIRLOK: Align the AIRLOK horizontally with the top tube.

- Mount the Frame: Clean out the holes with a vacuum and insert the fixings by gently tapping them with a hammer.
- Attach the Cover: Slide the cover over the frame and secure it with a 6mm Allen key. Push in the frame protector.
- Store the Bike: Insert the locking pin after placing your bike in the AIRLOK.

USING A JAW / JAW+
The rack features a unique, fully adjustable design that accommodates all popular bike types and tyre sizes ranging from 20mm to 75mm. This adaptability provides a secure and customised fit for any bicycle, making it a flexible storage option.
HOW TO:
-
Fit to the Wall:
