To begin the lock itself-the mechanism and shackle-are very sturdy and would be reliable BUT the part that has the key insert is fragile. Mine started coming apart. The two black parts on either side of the center part (with the key insert) started coming apart. Maybe it was from when I dropped it once when I was unlocking my bike. But it was like 3 feet high...my old Bell U-lock from Walmart took those same accidental falls over and over. The Keys:
-are not made from metal and feel like they could snap like a pencil (maybe thats why they give you 5 keys because they expect them to break) (And im talking about the actual key part, not the handle part of the key...of course thats plastic)
- get stuck unlocking/locking the lock if you arent careful, and so if you do end up buying any OnGuard lock (which you shouldnt) please be careful and patient
The Mount:
- I threw it away because this lock is so long it wont fit on any bike. I have a large framed road bike and wouldnt fit anywhere
- Probably wont install on oval shaped tube
All in all somehow none of my keys would not unlock my lock this morning. I tried every key and sprayed some WD40 in the key hole but to no avail. I now have a lock that wont unlock.
I do not suggest you buy any of their locks until they fix their locking mechanism and keys. And I'm not being very critical, I loved this lock, dont get me wrong, I would have trusted it anywhere, but I cant open the lock with any of my keys.
