Does Hiplok have an estimated time of release for public sales?

HipLok quit fuggin' around and sell me one of these......STAT....

Late comment but make them yellow, it stands out more at a distance putting some would be thief's off, any attempted attacks will be more visible and it is also a psychological colour, but also a reminder that you've put a big chunky lock on your bike take it off before riding away.

pretty odd they would not send it to lockpicking lawyer kind of makes me feel like it can be picked easy

I can tell by the very brief view of the key, that the it isn't a disc detained lock!

@@2kbluedragon There's no such thing as an unpickable lock so sending one to him where he will bust it open in under a minute would hurt consumer confidence in the product which would result in less sales.

LPL has picked it, but he had to create a special tool to do it .. which he now sells. The safety is that it does require skills thieves don't have. It requires a fairly calm environment to pick a lock. Very sensitive sense of touch. High degree of concentration.

The chain is as weak as its weakest link. Not much point making a lock which needs 45 minutes to grind through if it can be picked in 5.

It takes a lot of skill to be at the level of the LPL. It takes no skill to use an angle grinder.

Lpl has the lock in a vice while sitting in a chair with perfect conditions and his tools laid out. A lock picker wouldnt take 20 seconds to pick a lock in the real world

I heard that London was the crazy hot spot for bike theft.

@@You-Toober yeah, with angle grinders, not lockpicks

I just looked up the Altor SAF. And holy fuck. One can use it as an anchor.

Everyone's so obsessed with LPL and lock picking. It's a rare occurrence for a thief to pick a lock. Perhaps it was the Kryptonite Bic Pick that got everyone's attention? Probably not now though; that was 2004. Thieves simply don't pick locks to steal bikes. They're too dumb. Plus, why fiddle with a lock mechanism when a grinder will do the trick? Remember the "bump lock" scare about five years ago? Same thing. Mass hysteria over something thieves don't do! People running out to buy $300 Safeco and Medeco dead bolts ($600 installed!) when it was totally unnecessary. Plus, what good is an impenetrable dead bolt when you can kick the door in? Or what good is an impenetrable door when a glass window is two feet away? Always consider your weakest link before employing overkill in just ONE area! Locksmiths LOVE charging for house calls!!!

@@dudeonbike800 GREAT POINT!!!;)

Thieves will use the fastest method. If there is a valuable enough bike that doesn't have an easier target someone can and will pick the lock if shackles are not the weakness.

I too would like to see that. I would assume it would cut better, faster, but ruin the blade quicker. But I don't know.

@@PhilAndersonOutside sadly I don’t think it would stand much of a chance otherwise they’d show us. And of course a thief is going to have the best tool for the job. It’s a bit of a fantasy to think they would only have the shitty discs they’re using in these videos

@@Rorzzer123 That's my suspision as well. The argument that "it would take a couple diamond disks, because they get ruined quicker" doesn't hold weight when the blade cuts far better. For a thief, who cares if you spent an extra $30-$40 on good diamond blades that are now ruined, if you ride off on a $4,000 e-bike?

I have seen independent challenge test on other sites. I can't recall the blade that they had used, however one of the tester used an arc welder and tore through the lock like butter in seconds.

@@ilovephotography1254 A thermal lance will cut through even more, even a high end enforced safe. but they also destroy everything they touch. I'm also not sure how many criminals carry around an arc welder or torch though! However, if someone can just toss your locked bike into the back of a pick-up and drive off, they have all the time they need to get the lock off later - pick, blade, welder, etc.

💯

Unfortunately to produce and profit on a lock, it is necessary to have a mass market that would buy the lock. Trikes compared to bikes are rare. In addition, smaller locks tend to be more difficult to defeat. Maybe combine with a chain or loop together a second D1000.

@@ilovephotography1254 So I can stop holding my breath. Thanks for the information.

@@HermannKerr You're very welcome. Best of luck to find the right lock.

Look up Xena u locks.

Enjoy!

Ya true. Especially with Abus be local

Then the price goes up.

Your a smart person! I never take the creatures word, I want to see what others think, and as you know they ones you mentioned know how to bypass any lock

@@Daverazzi Yes but I fund it strange that this dlock has not been released for sale to the general public yet. What could possibly be the issue?

@@ozzie444 I suspect the Covid 19 situation, supply issues and i bet a huge demand for something like this.

How did you sign up I'm having difficulty

@@zeeshimon7138 I just went to the Hiplok website about 1-1/2 years ago and signed up to their mailing list. But I don't think it matters cuz it must be around 2 years now and this Hiplok D1000 has not been released for sale as a regular stocked item. Everyone has to sign up to be on a waiting list and put down a $$$ deposit. But I have not read or seen anywhere anyone who has actually purchased and received this super lock. I want one but I want to know that when I pay for it, within 1-2 weeks I'll actually receive it.

They dare not for fear of effecting future sales...you just know it will be open in seconds

@@charlieoscar09 Not on the street where it matters. They use angle grinders not picks.

I noticed that almost no one asks this problem :)) and some are simple and thin pipes in the wall😅

Totally correct. Impossible to protect a bike if the post doesn't hold up.

Hi There, The Hiplok D1000 is in stock and should be available to be dispatched. It has been a national holiday here in the UK so if you have email support@hiplok.com you should expect a response today.

Hi There, We have recently launched the DX1000 the D1000's bigger brother optimised for motorcycles hiplok.com/product/hiplok-dx1000/

@@HiplokBikeLocks Hey, thanks for the quick reply. Yea, I was thinking about it, they didn't have any at Urban Rider which is where I usually buy my motorcycle gear. Oh well, I guess I have to buy it elsewhere :D

@@fiucik1 Hi There, Urban Rider do stock the DX1000 and should be receiving stock on a regular basis it may be worth giving them a ring and asking when they will next have stock. DX1000 is also available directly from our website hiplok.com/product/hiplok-dx1000/ we also now have a free returns policy so if for any reason the lock isn't right you can send it back to us.

@@HiplokBikeLocks Again thanks for the reply. Well, if Urban Rider don't have, they don't have it(now). I can't really wait, I'll check my at local motorcycle shop tomorrow, and if they don't have it, I'll order it from you. Cheers

We have sent one to the lock-picking lawyer and are awaiting a response.

What the "ramshead"?

Not sure but I think diamond discs are ok on stone and stuff but not metal.... not 100 percent sure, I'm in the UK, so it might be different elsewhere

Hi There, We are currently working on getting D1000s out to all our Kickstarter backers.

@@HiplokBikeLocks where do you thinhk is the best way to put the d1000?in the front or back wheel?I am owner of a yamaha tenere.Also my wheels spoked , so can you suggest the best way to put the lock? Just delivered!:) thank you very much

Hi Zee, The D1000 is now available to order hiplok.com/product/hiplok-d1000/

What??? Doesn't every serious bike thief speed freak/junkie have a disk detainer tool in his pocket?

@@ozzie444 lmao no its really rare for bike thief to be able to pick any locks

@@idk-vx9fz Yea correct. If I was a serious bike thief I'd just get me the biggest and baddest battery powered 4" or 6" hand grinder with about 4 extra batteries and 10 carbide steel cuttting discs. But even then that would require investing about $1,000 for gear...unless the stuff "fell off a truck".......hmmm, maybe cheaper to get the LPL to teach me how to use one of them fancy disc detainers. And much quieter to use and lighter to carry around with me.........🤣

@@ozzie444 you dont seem to understand that pretty much all bike thiefs use brute force to break any bike locks and i gotta say that i have never heard/seen any bike thief pick any lock edit also bike thiefs dont care about the noice angle grinders make

@@idk-vx9fz I understand just fine. That's why I have a 3' x 12mm Pewag chain and Abus lock that weighs 3 lbs. I also have a Kryptonite Series 4 Evolution 10mm New York Noose chain and lock. These make a thief take more time and he'll need more determination, and hopefully deter him so he says "fuggid, too much trouble" and moves onto the other bike parked next to mine with a crappy cable or Walmart chain and Master Lock (probably the worst brand of lock anyone can get).

Absolutely. This ulock is the solution we've been waiting for. I own an Altor SAF lock and it works. But it's heavy at 13 pounds, so big it limits your locking options, and expensive at $300. Most people would never try to ride with it, but I do. Works fine on my rear rack or in my pannier. It does affect handling though! But it's my go-to when I'm locking my expensive bike on SF Bay Area streets!!! (Yes, my commuter bike is expensive. My old beloved mountain bike turned commuter. I tried the whole "beater bike" thing but realized I like riding quality bikes too much to spend time on crap!) There's always Almax chains and Squire padlocks for motos, especially for home security. Their top chain and padlock weighs 55 pounds and costs $750. But if you want your bike to STAY HOME, that's the choice I'd use!!!

Hi Bruce, The Hiplok CARRY POUCH is now available on our website. hiplok.com/product/hiplok-carry-pouch/ Thanks.

The same thing as happens with any lock that someone drills out, unless that causes it to open. If you're worried about someone disabling your lock, they'll just use superglue poured in, rather than bother lugging a drill about.

@@bennettsbikesocial Point taken. Understandably I’m more concerned about NOT being able to get my bike back in the event thieves did disable the lock with then intention of coming back later to try and nick it.

@@Red_Rides_Bikes A bigger concern, at least in motorcycling, tends to be disabling a lock before it's used - that's why it's important not to leave a lock attached somewhere while it's not in use. It's always our advice that if you leave your lock in place and arrive to find it disabled, do not park up as there's a chance a thief is waiting for you to leave the bike in its usual place, unable to use your security. If that did happen, park somewhere well away (or ideally use another lock). Basically, don't leave an unused lock lying around. The scenario you've talked about is less likely as they still need to make all the noise and effort, and the owner is more likely to be be needing the bike to get home, so will call out a locksmith or a mate to help get the bike free. You can get through anything given enough time, so in the unlikely scenario that this lock was made inoperable, you will get it off eventually - it'll just take more grinding discs and batteries than anything else currently on the market.

Sound advice, I’ll always carry my locks with me although sometimes I do leave one behind as two DLocks are a lot to lug around in my backpack. I’ll be sure to definitely bring them back with me no matter how tempting it’ll be.

Sorry to hear that 80% of the products around you have quality issues😂 that must have been a tough life

Yes, but the time it takes to do it... Get a motion detector, GPS tracker (if the vehicle is moved), a good attack dog(s) and / or take advantage of the gun shows around (U.S.A.). That motion detector goes off - and it's not the wind or squirrel - go out and handle your business! At the moment, i guess nothing out now is "grinder proof", but it's something better - for now.
