Does anyone use the chain lock attachment with this? Is it sensitive enough for the alarm to go off if a thief is trying to bolt crop your chain?

My lock does not have chain attachment. As for sensitivity if I slap this bike on the seat the alarm goes off.The negative is I have not found a way to carry this lock in a saddle bag without it going off riding down the street.

This lock would work with an ordinary chain. However you would not get the advantages of a shrouded padlock because a thief could use a bolt-cutter or hack saw on the chain. Ideally you would buy a heavy duty hasp to mount securely and use this lock on. Amazon has a number of suitable HD hasps of varying shapes. If the hasp is mounted correctly the screws should all be covered by the locked hasp so it is not removable without tearing holes in the door or door frame. This looked to be a very heavy duty and pick resistant lock that has worked well to really secure a friend's house door. Most thieves would not want to make the noise of tearing down a door. Suggest using much longer heavy duty screws than the screws that come with the hasp. Here is the hasp I used. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I1QF00/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Her visitors have often cmtd that that was one of the best looking and most impressively sturdy looking locks.

Don' know why you would need to know but yes it keeps activating the lock, I just tried to see what happens. My grandkids were messing with mine this weekend and set off a buzzer that lasted about 30 seconds guess it's some sort of alarm I didn't remember reading about. I'm still satisfied with mine after 5 months use.

You would need to place the receiver outside the path of the animal. There is no sensitivity setting. I place all of my alarms 24" to 30" above the floor, in a place the animals can not access. Hope this helps.

Hi, If you place the sensor outside, I imagine someone could steal it. We use our's inside as a door chime, the chime goes off when someone enters a door.

No! This lock has worked wonderfully at our house! We haven't had any break ins since we installed it, while prior to this lock we had 4. We actually did have an issue with our landlord (I live in a college town and leases are yearly) about changing the doorknob to a locked code. He was worried that in an emergency he would not have access to our house. (Trust me, I lol'd at what kind of emergency would require him to get into our home..) But to appease him we set a "User Code" for him and his maintenance crew to use. Installation was easy & this product works great. All of our neighbors have installed it as well.

The alarm should not be able to go off if it doesn't have the break disc in between it. Even with the unit off the bike and in the locked position, it should not go off. Maybe you have a faulty unit.

I placed mine in a little box that looks like a bird house. I also pointed it at the drive and not across it. This keeps the false alarms down. It will pick up tree and flower movement. I also hooked it up to a door bell for a while but the eight second closure on the relay made it very annoying. We use it for people coming up our long drive so we know when someone comes. Don't bother calling Dakota, they won't help but they did replace the unit under warranty.

The receiver for the motion sensor has 4 sectors which can be set up with up to 4 sensors per sector. Each sector will beep 1-4 times depending on which sector has motion detected in it. It will beep 4 times per sector alarm and then silence for 30 seconds. If the person or thing moves within the 'sight' of the motion sensor again, the alarm will beep the appropriate number of times again. It resets and rearms after 30 seconds of no* motion. So yes, it will shut off and stay off unless there is more motion. More motion after 30 seconds and rearming will set it off again. I will add that the range on the sensor is a lot greater than they advertise. I use them around a large field/garden on my farm to alert me of deer eating my crops. They really work. I had an issue with two of my sensors getting moisture inside the sight eye. The mfg did replace them but they said my sensors need to be covered(i.e. a little roof of some sort over them). I had small metal covers over them.......Again they did warranty them. And Amazon was going to honor their Amazon Guarantee also. So, I have purchased additional sensors for my farm. The longest distance I have a sensor from a base/receiver unit is 110 yards and it works fine. I was impressed by the company Skylink and their customer service lady and also by Amazon!

I have a LARGE dog - and it does go off when I have my dog out on my patio (where I have the unit). I have to block it while he is out there. It is sensitive, but NOT too much so. Haven't had any 'false' rings.

Not really. I run a cable lock around the right axle of the rear wheel (inside the chain guard). It would be time-consuming for a thief to unbolt the rear wheel and remove the chain. Of course, they could just cut the cable lock regardless, but then the value of the scooter is significantly less than that of a good bicycle.

Just the sensor - the keychain just turns the unit on/off. By the way, the alarm is pretty loud, the chime not bad either (This is good!)

Yes. You need a bit of room on either side of the closure (door/frame) for the metal plate. If there is wood-trim too close to the edge it will be slightly loose but still effective. The idea is to prevent casual entry, to make noise if tampered with, and to slow down a thief while the alarm is ringing. Most thieves want to be in and out in minutes and this adds another problem to their navigation.

I have had this alarm for almost a year now. And I have to say this lock may have been the best investment ever. It is so sensitive that sometimes it's annoying. The wireless keychain pager is advertised as half a mile and I would agree. I have had this go off through 4 concrete walls in the back of a warehouse and alert my pager. A lot of the time is just the wind flapping my motorcycle cover. I've also had it go off from just brushing my hand against the gas tank or touching the handlebars. I set it off a lot being super careful just trying to slip the key in. I find it most effective when it is suspended in the spokes of my front tire. And I can only imagine it being more effective with the cord wound through your back tire as well or kickstand or centerstand. I hope this review helps anyone looking to make an informed decision about investing in the security of their vehicle.

It depends on whether you need to make a loop with the chain itself or plan to use an additional u bar lock thru the frame, etc. I do the latter and it works great -- I have a Vespa and lock it thru a steel lock eyelet on the underside of the frame and then run the chain to a fence, signpost, whatever when I'm in a theft-y area.

the horn goes off when triggered by your alarm system. The horn alone is useless if you do not have a wireless alarm system to trigger it.. hope that makes sense?
