Chain lock Comparison
Here’s a list of some of the most popular chain locks available today. You can order by weight, length and security rating. I find the weights difficult to imagine so I have added a “number of cans of coke” weight to make it a bit easier! You can also filter which locks are shown by using the search field. For example if you just want to see Sold Secure Silver rated locks, enter “Silver” into the search field.
There’s a similar table that compares U-locks here. If you’re still unsure about what type of lock you need, check out my bike lock buying guide. And if you need more specific recommendations, read our chain lock buying guide.
Most of the information comes from the websites of the brands themselves. However, the weights of the OnGuard locks are not provided on their website, so I had to hunt around a bit and they may not be 100% accurate. If you see any mistakes please let me know and I will correct them!
Any data that needs further explanation is annotated with * and further details are provided at the foot of the table.
I hope you find the table useful. I’ll be adding more locks as I find them and if you have any locks you would like added please let me know below.
And if you do find it useful please share…

I've had bikes stolen in London, New York and Barcelona. Yep, I was a serial, international, bike theft victim. In 2015 I decided to stop the rot. And not a single bike's been stolen since! Brakes, yes. Bells, yes. But they're another story. Everything I learn, I document on this website. More about my story. Contact me. LinkedIn.
