The weapon of choice for the professional bicycle (and motorcycle) thief is the angle grinder – a motorized hand tool that can cut through any lock, no matter how big, how heavy, or how expensive. To date, this fundamental problem has been largely ignored by the security industry as it has seemed too difficult to solve.

That has changed with the release of the Hiplok D1000, a lightweight, mobile lock that can withstand severe, sustained angle grinder attack.

The reason for the D1000’s incredible resistance against motorized attack is a material called Ferosafe, a composite graphene material that effectively resists high-power angle grinders due to its unique chemical and physical properties.

The application of Ferosafe within the D1000’s patent-pending design results in a lightweight, mobile bicycle lock that can be used in the same way as any other classic ‘U Lock’ products, but with anti-cut properties that are unrivalled.

Ferosafe is a graphene-reinforced ceramic composite - a high-performing, patented, material that has been specifically designed to disintegrate angle grinder cutting wheels and carbide-tipped drills with its unique combination of material properties. Created in an advanced high-temperature fusion process, the manufacture of Ferosafe is very precisely controlled while also being very energy efficient, achieving a low carbon footprint.
