            Comments about OnGuard Pitbull U-Lock - Medium:

            OnGuard locks are, simply, ineffective. The plastic housing camoflouges insufficient hook-and-notch assembly. Futher, the holding brackets for OnGuards are known to be cheap, ineffective plastic, and are soon to fail.

            A really nice, beloved Giant aluminum frame bike is now being enjoyed by some Boston thug because OnGuard was trusted. He left a brick behind. That was all it took.

              Comments about OnGuard Pitbull U-Lock - Medium:

              We have 5 On Guard locks, including this short-shackle. Great to carry on long road rides. The lock is very secure, unlike Kryptonite, which hid an easy-pick design defect for 10 years so that my wife's locked bike was stolen. Five keys-- even a klutz won't lose them all. Hardened steel covered by thick plastic so the lock doesn't damage your frame. Much better value than the other small-shackle.

                Comments about OnGuard Pitbull U-Lock - Medium:

                The appearance of the lock is a good deterrent but after using this lock for a month I found the lock had been picked and was falling off my bike. The lock was destroyed but luckily the thief didn't take my bike. It had been parked during daylight hours in front of a store. Too easy to pick for me. The laser cut keys are only a marketing tool in my experience.
