Otto Door Lock Review

I wanted to test ottolock s claimed protection and robustness.

Otto door lock review.

Our reviewers loved the cable like design of this lock that enables more creative locking solutions than the more rigid u locks. Plus there are no comments from otto locks that might reassure those who had problems. Since then we ve heard some concerns about the lock s strength but nothing overly alarming. Companies who are serious about customer service usually respond to negative reviews so this is not an encouraging sign.

However after a thorough bolt cutter test we were blown away by its durability. It had better be at an asking price of 699 it s one of. It s more secure than a cable lock and much lighter than a u lock. Ottolock is not a replacement for a u lock.

For maximum security use a redundant locking method with both a u lock and a secondary lock. When we reviewed the lock in july 2017 we said the company had hit a bike security sweet spot by making something that would keep your bike safe for quick stops without taking up much room or adding weight to your training kit. At first glance i was more than doubtful that otto design works can guarantee anti theft security with its ultra light bike lock. At first glance we were a bit skeptical of the ottolock an ultra light bike lock from otto design works.

For me the advertised practicality lightness etc. Personally i liked the ease of just popping it into my jersey pocket but i like that otto gives me lots of options. Ottolock is an all new cinch lock for both cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts who value their gear and need a compact and lightweight solution. The ottolock cinch lock is truly diminutive and doesn t radiate a feeling of safety.

Ottolock is designed for short stay security and protecting against theft opportunists. We keep on seeing new smart lock options and otto a keyless lock designed by a former microsoft executive might be the fanciest yet. How well it works while i didn t take bolt cutters to it like last time i did notice the overall heavy duty feeling and high made in the usa quality. Starting weight at just 145g and coiling to a compact 3 inch diameter ottolock is truly portable and always there when you need it.

Based on the other reviews there are ten as i write this the failure rate of new locks seems extremely high.
