The advice I'm after is what kind of lock(s) would be best for me ?


Only one make successfully resists attack for very long - Almax.
All the others are ****.


Crikey, you're right - look at the videos on
www.almax-security-chains.co.uk/index.asp?pg=19

£150 Abus Thatcham Approved blah blah Chain, cropped with simple
bolt-cutters in 25 seconds.


WTF is that all about? Granted he used a big FO pair of croppers, but
surely the video is meant to demonstrate that the product survives for a
minimum 5 mins?

Anywho, an angle grinder would have taken that out in half the time.

I removed the wire rope type lock from an adandoned bike in around 3 seconds
with my trusty angle grinder a few weeks ago.
