Description
Combination Bike Cable Lock – 4 Digit, 32 inch Long Coiled Security Resettable Cable Lock, Anti-Theft Accessories for Mountain Bike, Road Bike, Electric Bicycle, Scooter
I created this product description because I believe a simple, reliable lock can save you a lot of stress. The Combination Bike Cable Lock is a compact, easy-to-use security accessory designed for cyclists, commuters, students, and anyone who needs a quick way to secure a bike, scooter, or outdoor gear. I’ll explain what makes this lock useful, how I recommend using it, and everything you need to know before you add it to your cart.
What this lock is and who it’s for
I designed this lock for people who want keyless convenience and practical protection for everyday situations. If you ride a mountain bike, road bike, electric bicycle, or scooter, or you need to secure a stroller, grill, ladder, or toolbox, this lock is built to be a versatile, lightweight companion. It’s particularly handy for students and commuters because it’s portable, coiled for easy storage, and resettable so you never have to keep track of a physical key.
Key features I want you to know about
- Keyless convenience: A 4-digit combination means you store the code in your head, not in a pocket full of keys. I made it easy to set and reset so you can change your code whenever you want.
- Strong construction: The inner core is braided steel wire for cut resistance and flexibility. I paired that with anti-rust zinc alloy components where strength matters.
- Protective coating: The cable has a durable PVC outer coating that resists weather and abrasion, protecting the finish of your frame and helping the cable last through rain and daily use.
- Compact and long enough: The coiled design stretches to about 32 inches (80 cm), allowing you to wrap around frames, wheels, posts, and multiple bikes when needed.
- Weatherproof: The materials and finish are chosen so you don’t need to worry about immediate rust or corrosion when the lock stays outdoors briefly.
- Multipurpose use: Use it for bicycles, scooters, skateboards, strollers, luggage, grills, tool cabinets, fences, and more.

How I recommend using it (quick start)
- Start by locating the factory code on the instruction card (many locks are set to 0000 out of the box).
- Align the digits to the factory code. Follow the included quick-start steps to activate the reset mode (this may be a push-button, pull-tab, or twist mechanism depending on the version).
- Choose a code you’ll remember and set it by rolling the digits to your selected numbers. Return the mechanism to the locked position to save the code.
- Wrap the cable around your frame and a solid immovable object like a post or a bike rack, then thread the cable back through the wheel and frame before locking.
- When locking more than one bike, thread the cable through both frames or wheels and secure the ends together.
If you ever forget your code, check the included instructions first. If that doesn’t help, reach out to customer support with proof of purchase and a description of the lock so I can guide you through possible recovery or replacement options.
Benefits I focus on for everyday life
- Convenience: No keys to carry or lose — I find this especially helpful when I’m juggling a backpack, groceries, or a commuter bag.
- Low profile: Coiled design saves space so the lock stays compact on a bike frame or in a bag.
- Flexibility: The cable’s flexibility lets you secure various shapes and sizes of items, not just bikes.
- Visual deterrent: Thieves often avoid easy targets; a visible lock increases the effort required to steal an item.
- Cost-effective: This lock is best used as a practical deterrent for low- to medium-risk situations, such as short stops, school campuses, or quick errands.
Limitations and safety considerations
I want you to be informed: this cable lock is intended for basic to moderate security. It’s a strong deterrent against casual thieves and opportunistic theft, but no lock is completely foolproof. For high-risk areas, long-term street parking, or expensive bikes and e-bikes, consider pairing this cable with a stronger U-lock or chain lock for maximum protection. I advise never leaving your bicycle or valuable equipment unattended for extended periods in known high-theft areas.
Care and maintenance tips
- Keep the combination digits free of dirt and moisture; wipe them occasionally with a dry cloth.
- If exposed to salt air or heavy rain frequently, rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly to prolong components’ life.
- Avoid excessive bending that might damage the braided core. The coiled design is flexible by design, but sharp kinks can weaken cable strands over time.
- Periodically test your combination to ensure the mechanism remains smooth and responsive.
Frequently asked questions I often get
-
Q: Can two bikes be locked together with this cable?
A: Yes — the cable’s length allows you to loop through frames or wheels of two smaller bikes, or secure a single bike plus a helmet or accessory. -
Q: Is the lock suitable for electric bikes?
A: It’s suitable as a supplementary lock for electric bikes, but I recommend adding a heavier-duty lock for long-term parking or very high-value e-bikes. -
Q: How do I reset my combination?
A: The lock is designed to be easy to reset. Follow the included instructions—usually aligning to the current code and using a reset tab or mechanism to set a new code. If you are unsure, take a photo of the instruction card or contact me for support. -
Q: Will the PVC coating scratch my bike?
A: The PVC coating is soft and intended to protect your paint. Avoid slipping the cable across sharp edges or dragging it over rough surfaces to preserve both the cable and your bike finish.

Why I recommend this lock
I use a combination lock like this when I need lightweight, portable protection that won’t weigh me down or require tracking a key.
