Hiplok A1000 Wall & Ground Anchor: BLACK

The weapon of choice for the professional bike thief is the angle grinder, which can cut through any standard lock in seconds. When the D1000 was launched two years ago, it revolutionised bike security with its ability to withstand a severe, sustained angle grinder attack. The 1000 series brings this technology to the whole suite of products.

The ball bearings are optional for installation, but are required for the anchor to be Sold Secure Diamond security rated. Fixings are tested as part of the independent security approval process by Sold Secure and ART.

Everything in the 1000 series features Ferosafe, a graphene composite material that resists grinder wheels. It's been proven to take more than 20x as long for angle grinders to cut through this material than those used on standard D locks.

For optimum security, use your A1000 with a 1000 Series D Lock (D1000 or DX1000). However you can use the A1000 with an existing D lock - just be sure to check the size of the D lock first. For extra reach, instead of using an A1000, get an AX1000 instead, which comes with a pivoting arm.

 You get:

• 8 x high-security expansion bolts and plugs
• All bearings required to install the anchors securely
• 16mm drill bit
• Drilling template
• Instructions
• User guide.
