“Our latest Sold Secure approvals validate our continuing efforts to offer dealers and their customers the right balance of lighter weight u-locks and chains without sacrificing security,” said Alison Donlan, Kryptonite director of product portfolio.
“We assist our customers worldwide by offering our global security rating system to help them choose the best lock with the right level of security for their needs. In the United Kingdom specifically, in addition to our rating system, customers utilize the Sold Secure gold, silver and bronze ratings to help guide them in making informed decisions.”

Sold Secure engages in the most current methods used by thieves to attack security products. In bicycle security, the highest category a product can receive is Gold.
