Security Chains & Bike Locks

Cycling is becoming a bigger and bigger trend in recent years, and if you are one of the many who choose to use a bike to get from A to B, you will want to secure it and ensure it is theft-proof. Choosing the right bike chain is essential, and depends on your needs. For example, if you leave your bike unattended for long periods of time, you might want to opt for a sturdier 9mm bike chain, while if you live in a small village you won't require high levels of security and can settle for a thinner, more lightweight option, like a 7mm chain. You'll want to balance the risk of theft to your bike with the bulkiness, length and weight of the chain you're willing to carry around with you. A D-lock or a U-lock could be a great easy-to-carry and hard-to-crop alternative. At Building Materials, you'll find all kinds of bike locks and chains, so you can choose the one that's best for you. We stock the best brands out there, like the renowned ABUS, so whatever you opt for will be a great choice.
