Trelock RS445 Bike Lock

No, the Trelock RS445 is a frame lock designed to immobilize the rear wheel, preventing the bike from being ridden away. For added security against theft where the bike is carried off, it is compatible with Trelock's plug-in chains or cables, which allow you to secure the frame to a fixed object.

The RS445 uses a Vario-Set ZR 20 mounting system, which is designed to fit seat stays with a diameter between 13 and 22.5 mm. Before purchasing, measure your bike's seat stay diameter to ensure compatibility with this mounting range.

Yes, the lock is designed so that the key can be removed when the lock is in the open position. This prevents the key from dangling or getting caught while you are cycling.

The childproof design prevents the locking bolt from accidentally engaging while the bike is in motion. You must intentionally operate the mechanism to lock the wheel, ensuring it won't snap shut if bumped or played with.

The RS445 features built-in corrosion protection and is weather-resistant, making it durable enough for daily outdoor use. However, like any lock, it will last longer if you keep the cylinder clean and occasionally lubricate it, especially if you live in a coastal or high-salt environment.
