Our guide to the locking options available for your bike storage
Whether you need secure mesh cladding, PIR lighting, or specifically configured locking hoops on our racks, our team prides itself on offering several options for delivering highly secure bike storage.
However, installing high-security locks can sometimes be overlooked by customers, exposing them to an increased risk of being the victims of theft.
In this guide, we explore the different locking option available to ensure you can make an informed decision on keeping your bikes secure.
If you’re looking for solid security on a budget, a padlock hasp and staple is a durable option to consider for your shelter.
Whilst hasp and staples do not offer the same level of security as our more sophisticated bike shelter locking options, investing in a high-quality padlock that is resistant to picking, cutting and other forms of tampering can offer a respectable substitute.
A hasp and staple not only provides peace of mind but can facilitate a more orderly space by minimising the prospect of unauthorised access to the shelter.
Padlocking your shelter means you have the benefit of controlling who can enter, and this conscious effort to keep bikes secure can give greater confidence to cyclists.
Please note that we do not provide padlocks with our hasp and staple.
If you need a convenient method to lock a bike shelter that’s more secure than a traditional hasp and staple, then our Quick Exit Digital Keypad Lock is a quality option to consider for swing gates.
Made in the UK and featuring a fully stainless steel movement, these locks are extremely durable in all conditions. Also features a push pad for quick and easy exit with a secure locking shroud to prevent unauthorised access.
Create secure spaces with a user-friendly experience that your cyclists can trust.

Installing our highly popular mesh sliding gates combines convenient access with user reassurance across many of our shelter designs.
Although sliding gates can provide an excellent layer of security for your shelter, ensuring you have the correct lock is integral to this offering. To meet this need, we provide a high-quality solution courtesy of our sliding gate code lock.
Commonly seen across commercial and residential properties, these devices are designed to control access to who can gain entry to the shelter.
This is a fantastic solution for supercharging the security of your sliding gate fronted shelter, especially if used in conjunction with our High Security Anti-climb Mesh.
Many of our shelters and enclosures have been specifically designed to provide electronic access control systems that deliver optimal security for your bicycles. Not only do access control systems provide high security but they can also be seamlessly integrated into your pre-existing security protocols.
Your new cycle shelter can easily be integrated into pre-existing access control systems, providing a convenient experience for your cyclists.
We offer an extensive range of electronic access control systems, including swipe cards, remote-control systems, RFiD, handy mobile apps and even biometric systems.
When it comes to providing a premium, high-security solution, access control systems are a quality option for keeping your cyclists’ property secure.

Whilst we have explored the different locking options for our bike shelters across this blog, we also deliver individualised high security stores for residential properties.
Our Tenant Cycle Stores and Battersea Tenant Cycle Stores utilise Latch Deadlock lock and key systems to create personalised, high-security bike storage; with the option for master keys. Achieving a UK first Secured by Design (SBD) Individual Tenant Cycle Store design.
Utilising secure Euro cylinder locks, these stores can offer protection against lock-picking break-in attempts, making them a great solution for keeping bikes securely stored.
Delivering secure bike storage that gives confidence to your cyclists is key to our philosophy. If you would like to learn more about our bike locking options or for us to help you choose the best locks to meet your needs, feel free to get in touch with our team today.
