Hiplok is the creation of two British industrial designers and keen cyclists frustrated at having to carry their bike locks in a cumbersome bag or unsightly frame-mounted bracket.
John Abrahams and Ben Smith took inspiration from bicycle couriers, who have long worn chains and cable locks around their waists or slung across their shoulders. The result of their research and development is a range eye catching, sturdy, but above all, easy-to-carry locks.
The HipLok DX is a compact gold-rated D-Lock designed to be worn on any belt or bag strap.
We’ve been testing the Hiplok range and it’s clearly been created with a passion for both design and cycling. Carrying a cycle lock is a necessary evil, but using a HipLok makes the experience as stress-free and stylish as possible.

If the make and model of your lock is listed on the Sold Secure website then we will accept it if it meets the correct rating of bronze, silver or gold relating to the value of your cycle. Please note, if you receive a cable as part of a pack with a D-Lock, please note this part of the product has not passed the Sold Secure test and is only meant to provide a minimal level of security for accessories.

A friend had her bike stolen recently, so it has made me consider an upgrade to a descent lock for my much loved bike.
Mark
Very handy design. It will avoid damaging the frame too.

Thanks for the opportunity ETA.

The wearable, gold standard, Hiplok is such a great idea and very stylish too. One of these would be really useful.
Martin Ross
Just bought a new bike, so need one of these.
Paul Magnall
The Hiplock looks a great idea but as a cyclist who has been knocked off his bike and suffered injuries from the keys in my pocket I would be nervous about wearing one of these. It is more likely to end up in my panier which i always have with me when cycling.
Alison Kaberry
Hiplok – 21st century hip for cyclists!

Susan Lancaster
What a great idea. Might use my bike lock a bit more often if I had one of these!

My son’s bike is currently in bike repair shop where it has been for the past four weeks – replacement wheels held up at port due to Brexit delays. At least if I win this lock, he can keep it safe when it’s finally back on the road.

At last! There’s now no excuse for not carrying a really secure lock. Such good news for the lazy cyclist!
Pamela
Spent time looking for secure lock that is easy to carry but Gold rated is usually heavy and difficult to carry. I was told that what I was looking for was not available. If hiplok have the solution then I need it. Please.
Steve K
A secure lock which is easy to carry could be really useful

A lock that looks good and locks good

Could really do with this for those occasions when just nipping out without a bag.

Great that someone has managed to design and produce a lock that is effective but doesn’t weigh a ton! Well done!
peter G
Fashionable and functional!
Richard
Only just managed to unlock one of our bikes, weather and dirt getting to the mechanism. A new lock would be great
Carol W
Hiptastic 🙂
David
My old lock weighs nearly 2kg and I presume this is much lighter for the same level of security.
Annette Unsworth
Sounds like a great solution. I’d love it for cycling to work, especially as several colleagues have had their bikes stolen while we work.
Bryn Gwyndaf Jones
I’m 86 & never had a bike stolen yet.
But there’s always a first time,

Jim Woodlingfield
A new way to carry a d-lock and a fashionable accessory too!
Keith Graham
Such a hip lock! Yes please.
Andy Hurrell
I would really make good use of a lock like this! I ride an elderly Moulton (1965) around town and secure it with a D lock that’s almost as old. The bike might not be valuable but I would be devastated to lose it!
Graham Corfield
Wow a gold standard lock that actually won’t lock my hip up whilst I’m carrying it. Sounds great. Count me in!!
Mike the bike
I’d hate to lose my trusty Crosscity ebike on occasions when I leave to shop. A Hiplok DX would certainly put my mind at rest.

This would be very useful to protect my bicycle and much easier to carry than other similar bulky locks.
Philip White
Get hip, with a HipLok
Philip Benson
A portable Gold Standard lock is a great idea.

Carrying a good lock is so essential but often cumbersome, these look great!

I hate the rattle of the lock against the frame so this looks like a great idea.

Please lock me in to this deal. Thanks for the chance….
Lesley Walton
New bike coming soon. It will need a new lock to go with it!!
Chris Matheson
That looks a great piece of kit!
