tex-lock was awarded by thebestbikelock.com!

If you want to park your bike safely and with a clear conscience, it is best to look for seals and certifications from independent institutions. The ART*2 seal of quality and the positive test reports of recent times show that our textile tex-locks are in no way inferior to other folding, collapsible or bicycle locks. Now we are happy about another certification we can adorn ourselves with: tex-lock is now Sold Secure Gold and Silver certified. At the same time, the best bike lock - which has already tested a lot of locks - has put tex-lock under the microscope!

You can find out exactly what the new certifications and test reports are in this blog post 😉

Sold Secure Gold and Silver for tex-lock bicycle locks

The tex-lock X-lock incl. eyelet is certified with Sold Secure Gold! And it is one of the lightest bicycle locks (if not the lightest) in this category! 

The tex-lock U-lock incl. eyelet is certified with Sold Secure Silver! This bundle offers just as much protection as the X-lock bundle, with the difference that the X-lock even secures the bike twice, as the rear wheel can be additionally blocked with the X-lock bracket. 

Who or what is Sold Secure anyway?

Sold Secure is the UK's leading independent testing and certification body for security products with the aim of stopping crime. They are experts in security and test bike locks, alarms and much more. Sold Secure was founded in 1992 by Northumbria and Essex Police with the help and support of the Home Office and is in close contact with many police forces and insurers in the UK. 

Sold Secure evaluates according to a three-tier evaluation system: 

- Sold Secure Gold as the safest level for theft risk areas

- Sold Secure Silver, which represents a compromise between safety, weight and price

- Sold Secure Bronze, designed to protect against opportunist thieves

These three levels allow cyclists to assess what level of security they need for their purposes and to be sure that the certified locks have been put through some tough tests!

thebestbikelock.com - tested without mercy

If you look for bicycle lock tests and reviews on the Internet, you can't avoid the the best bike lock cannot do without. On the site you will find a huge selection of thoroughly tested and carefully rated bike locks - including, most recently, one on our tex-lock!

In the extremely detailed report, the best bike lock tester team notes above all how the tex-lock stands out from other bike locks thanks to its special textile rope:
Thieves first have to fight their way through several layers of high-tech fibres to then encounter a chain made of hardened steel. Best bike lock notes that the more tools that have to be used and the more time that has to be spent, the more likely it is that the theft will fail.
The flexible rope, different lengths and shackle sizes also give thousands of ways to lock the bike in a variety of situations - the versatility is one of tex-lock's greatest strengths, according to the report. Connecting is easy and differs greatly from other candidates such as folding, chain or cable locks.
When it comes to transport, the testing team hangs the tex-lock loosely and comfortably around the shoulder or fixes it directly to the bike with the saddle bracket. What's more, the textile coating protects the delicate paintwork of your chic bike! No more scratches!

As we can see, there is a lot to consider when it comes to security. Certifications and test reports from independent bodies offer good orientation when deciding on a bicycle lock. Our tex-locks can more than keep up with other bicycle locks and offer many additional advantages and possibilities.

The tex-lock team would like to thank you for your ever-growing trust and is pleased that we can also seal it!
