How much do you know about lock grades?
From a beginner's perspective, selecting the right lock for outdoor sports varies based on different needs and environments. Locks can be categorized into three levels based on their strength: Urban, Middle, and Adventure.
Urban Level: These locks are primarily designed for low to medium-risk protection needs in daily urban life, providing sufficient resistance against prying and cutting for typical theft scenarios.
These locks are usually lightweight and easy to carry, suitable for quickly securing items such as bicycles, scooters, or backpacks. Common locks: Combination cable locks、carabiner locks。
Middle Level: These locks are suitable for scenarios requiring higher security, such as hiking, cycling, camping, fishing, or canoeing.
These locks have more robust structures, typically made of reinforced steel or stainless steel, offering higher protection levels to effectively resist technical unlocking and brute force attacks. They are ideal for long-term protection or securing items.
Adventure Level: These locks are specially designed for high-risk protection needs in outdoor or extreme environments, such as high-altitude mountaineering, wild camping, surfing, or skiing.
These locks are extremely durable and can withstand challenges in the wilderness, extreme weather, and high-risk areas. They usually feature strong resistance against prying, cutting, and impact, making them ideal for protecting valuable items or use in remote areas.
Common locks: Multi-functional security cable locks、portable lock boxes。
