I had a similar lock on my sons atv & that was stolen. Couldn't someone cut this off with bolt cutters? I've seen those used to cut chain on tv.

Yes,this lock can be cut with numerous devices & tools, including bolt cutters. The bottom line is if someone wants to steal your stuff, they'll steal it. What this cable lock does is keep honest people honst. Does not apply to thieves & dirtbags.
2091018
Yes, they can if they have a bolt cutter large enough. If someone wants something bad enough to carry bolt cutters, I am sure nothing will stop them. I am sorry for your loss. Unfortunately locks like these keep away the honest people, there are professional thieves that go to extremes to steal things that hard working people pay for. Nothing is safe, 100%.

Possibly...the gauge is somewhat thinner, we have 2 of these to lock our yaks together on the back of the truck to prevent easy removal on day trips. For temporary situations, the Python is a great affordable security item; long term we use the Lasso combo in 8'...sucks we live in a world where locks/chains/cams are needed to keep our stuff from walking off...

Yup. People can cut through cable locks with plain old wire cutters if they had enough time.

with the right cutter, yes it can be cut. As most locks and cable can be cut with the right equipment.

Use the word SHED instead. My lock didn't open using TREE, so I checked the instructions for the bike lock (same lock, shorter cable) and SHED worked. I think the company has an easily fixed, but frustrating, quality control problem.

Anyone can steal it if they tried. Just use extra lock tight and make sure it's very snug. You may have the wrong bolt.

I haven't tried myself, however it looks like a small Allen key will work. On the side of the housing that has the safety, the top screw by the clip appears to be a hex. Let us know if that works out for you!

I too, also lost my keys...I called around to locksmiths and very few would even touch it--thinking that it was stolen! The only locksmith I found that would even try to open it wanted to charge me more than what I purchased the safe for to begin with. I just had to buy a new safe and be more careful with watching my battery light and NOT losing my keys! I had a friend use a "saw-zaw" to cut into it (as the metal on the top and bottom is very thin).

It doesn't look like the box is made for a lock but you could run a cable lock or use a padlock with a long shackle (like the old bicycle locks) through the hole in the "solid" latching "lever" (attached to the lid) through the wire "handle attached to the bottom half of the box. It's possible that's even made for some sort of lock but it doesn't look like it. I'm not sure how tight of a locked seal you could achieve for lid. There may (or may not) be enough play between the lid and the box that would allow small items to get through and it wouldn't take much of a bolt cutter or real heavy duty wire cutter to cut the bottom wire handle. You might be able to rig it up to be kid resistant.

Mine is now in the boat in storage so I can't look at it, but I doubt it. You would need three locks and they would be easily broken off, I suspect.

The locking mechanism seems to be all metal based on what I can see. As far as being able to pry it open with a screwdriver, I have no idea. I've never tried to. Seems reasonably solid to me but I'm sure someone could pry it open if they had the mindset and adequate tools.

I guess it depends on where you live :) For someone to steal it they would need two ratchets, one to hold the huge no wiggle bolt that goes through mount, into the hitch and then into a HUGE nut on the other side and 3-5 minutes of no one looking to work on it. I figured for the price of this, it was a risk I was willing to take and so far no problems. I think anyone who just walked by and looked down at it would think there was no way that thing is coming off easily.

We bought a ( two actually) long strong cable combination lock and run it through the pair of grippers, since we have two on each side of our truck. this probably wouldn't deter a very determined thief, but we feel better having them locked up.

Other than putting the bolt on really tight I don't believe there is. I have not looked to see if there is a lock you can purchase for it.

Sorry I don't know that is why I bought this one. However be aware that the bolt is way to long, and you can cut it off otherwise you cannot use the lock. Once through the hitch it extends a good 2+ inches.

No but I think you could use a bolt cutter. It would be more appropriate for something like that. these are handy to use for everything else when you need though.

I tried to see if we can, however i do not think it's possible. If securing is important for you, you want to buy it and take to local hardware shop to weld something to it or maybe the item listed below. http://www.amazon.com/Combination-Bike-Lock-Coated-Chain/dp/B009ZWBL5M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1377794084&sr=8-2&keywords=chain+with+number+lock Hope it helps.

The lock is to protect your investment in your expensive TV. It makes more difficult for thieves. It is like having a lock on your gate to prevent people from entering your yard. It can be used in a common area where you have visitors. Also you can install it on RV or mobile homes to secure it in place. The lock is not a requirement but necessary on a case by case basis. Hope this answers your question.Thanks.Naresh

With a pair of scissors or wire cutters it would be hard. With bolt cutters you could do it with one hand easily. If someone is going to target you and they know you left your gun in the box while shopping consider it gone. If someone smashed your window and then saw the box they probably would be there for a bit trying to rip it out.I've upgraded from this lock box to the PP1K which is larger, has a thicker cable and provides more security.

I had to use master locks, small ones with the larger extended metal piece on top. They are still a tight fit. Might be your best bet to go with a cable lock of some kind.
