Quite a few people on here need to lock their bikes with a Sold Secure Gold lock, as it (I believe) stipulates it in either their household, or single purpose bicycle insurance.
I don't buy into it at all though, as its the manufacturer that has to go to Sold Secure, and then pay to get their lock tested and listed. Manufacturers that don't do this remain unlisted, like Xena (with their fantastic alarmed u-locks) and Motrax.
Also, quite unbelievably, some tiny cable locks have been given Sold Secure Gold status, and everyone knows that they can almost be bitten through with one's own gnashers. It leaves me very sceptical of the whole enterprise.
