1.0 out of 5 stars yeah, this is disappointing, September 10, 2007

This review is from: OnGuard Doberman 6 Foot Coil Cable w/ Combination Lock (Sports)
first: always know that a cable lock is not meant to be your primary lock if you lock up in an area where bikes are ever stolen. ever.

the doberman was intended to be a back-up lock, locking my front wheel to my frame with an OnGuard u-lock locking the rear wheel and frame to the fence or post or whatever. however, today my OnGuard u-lock failed me (bent 3 keys in the lock trying to lock it when i got home from work before giving up on the lock altogether-- i have two working keys left, but don't trust them-- there is nothing saying they won't bend and fail also, and i'm glad i discovered the problem when i was at home where i could get to my extra keys. glad i still had them. now i know why they're included). i brought my bike inside instead of locking it to the fence as i normally do.

ten minutes after getting home, i realized i needed to take a quick trip to the office supply store, so i went back out, this time w/ this OnGuard cable (no keys necessary! yay!)... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great lock for what it is., August 19, 2009
This review is from: OnGuard Doberman 6 Foot Coil Cable w/ Combination Lock (Sports)
This is a very good lock for what it is. Judging from the reviews here, however, many people buy this lock expecting it to do something that it's not designed to do. Therein lies the problem. It's like expecting a fast food restaurant to provide white linen table service and then complaining when it doesn't. What made you think you could expect that in the first place? Without wishing to insult anyone's intelligence, one look at this lock should tell you that it's intended for use where mild deterrence is all that's needed. A little common sense goes a long way, folks. For example I used it frequently on a recent vacation to Cape Cod, MA, where my son and I took many rides and then locked our bikes up when stopping to engage in other activities. I also use it with confidence in my hometown, which is a quiet suburban area. On the other hand I wouldn't consider using this lock to secure my bike in downtown Manhattan. Nor would I fault the lock if it failed to deter thieves in a busy... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars I should have bought a Kryptonite, August 3, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
When the cable is open, in order to plug the ends together the dials must be set to the combination. This is typical for locks of this type. However, the combination dials on this lock rotate far too easily.

Thus, when locking the bike, any slight contact with something else moves the combination dials and then you can't insert the other end of the cable until you set the dials again.

The same applies after unlocking the bike and you are recoiling the lock to stow it away. If anything slightly touches the dials, you have to set the combination dials again so that you can insert the other end of the cable.

My old Kryptonite combination dials had more friction in them and this never happened.
