Comments about OnGuard Pitbull DT Combo U-Lock with Cable:
Beware if you use this lock. I tried mine in the house several times before my commute, and it was smooth as silk. I rode to work on that fine Friday afternoon, came out to unlock my mtn bike after work, and it would NOT OPEN. I worked with it, in great frustration, for quite awhile, and gave up. I managed to get a ride from a friend, and I went back to the store. A very nice bike mechanic suggested that I manipulate the lock cylinder a certain way with a pin-like device. So I went back to work and played around with the cylinder, which finally freed up the mechanism, and my bike.
I have opened and closed the lock at home many times since then and it works fine. But I cannot trust it in a real life bicycle locking situation. I ended up returning it. Check out some bike review websites to see other people with this same problem. I now use the new Kryptonite U-Lock. I have relied on Kryptonite U-Locks since the early 1990's, and it they always worked flawlessly. I wish that REI would stock Kryptonite locks, so that we have a choice.

Comments about OnGuard Pitbull DT Combo U-Lock with Cable:
I purchased this bike lock to secure my bike at work, school, and around town. I was new to using a cable in conjunction with the U type locks, but after a few different, some funny looking, configurations I can now secure my rear tire, frame, and front tire to a number of bike racks or posts. I've not had any mechanical issues with the lock, keys, cable, or any other part of the lock. It's key action is actually smooth and easy to work for me. The lock itself is a little bulky so I wasn't able to use the frame mounting piece, instead I just bungee it to my rear rack. Overall a sturdy reliable lock for securing your bike.
