Kirsty’s Bike Saved by the Hiplok D1000

With riding season kicking off, bike thieves are on the lookout for easy targets. The thought of returning to find your bike gone, and your once-trusted lock cut in half, is a nightmare no rider wants to face. That’s where the Hiplok D1000 comes in. It’s designed to stand up against angle grinders. The D1000 has successfully stopped numerous theft attempts. And we’ve got yet another story to prove it.

One of our customers, Kirsty, shared how the D1000 stopped her bike from getting stolen by determined thieves.

“I used my bike and when I came to unlock it, I noticed when I got home, someone had actually tried to cut my D1000 with a saw and angle grinder.”

Kirsty’s experience shows how a tough, high-quality lock can make all the difference and why investing in real protection is worth it.

Upgrade your security with anti-angle grinder technology

Bike theft is a growing issue. Thieves don’t just target bikes left on the street. They go after garages, storage units, and bike rooms. Unfortunately, keeping your bike indoors doesn’t guarantee its safety. That’s why locking your bike with a reliable, strong lock matters, even at home.

The AX1000 paired with the D1000, securing both a bicycle and a motorcycle.

If you’re locking your bike at home, always secure it to a fixed object, such as a heavy-duty wall/ground anchor. The AX1000 and A1000 anchors are made using the same anti-angle grinder material as the D1000, and offer a way to reinforce your setup at home. Anti-angle grinder anchors will ensure there is  no weak-link in your security set up.
