Summary: OnGuard Bulldog DT 5012 Bicycle U-Lock and Extra Security Cable
Comment: One couldn't ask for a more versetile bike lock. The extra security cable makes all of the difference in the world. When locking one's bike to something other than a standard bike rack; the extra security cable is most convenient.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent and won't get the bike stolen.
Comment: Ok, so the bike it guards is almost 15 years old, and this is a bit of overkill, but it's my bike!!! This is about as much protection as you could possibly need unless you live in downtown DC or the Bronx.

Summary: TERRIBLE KEY
Comment: After moving to Los Angeles, I needed to buy a second U-LOCK as bike's are a hot item to be stolen. One u-lock to lock my front wheel to the frame, and the second to lock the frame, back wheel, to a post, etc. I bought this U-LOCK not knowing the company, but it was sturdy and good feel and at a good price.
I had a HORRIBLE experience with this lock. My second time using this, the key broke off like butter while I was opening it. I have owned many U-LOCKS in the past and know how to not force the key, so I wasn't using much force at all. The key broke off inside the lock, leaving me stranded. I'll avoid my heroic details of finding my way home to then return with the 2nd key and plyers to remove the stuck key.
The key (you get two) that is made for this lock is EXTRA thin. All U-LOCK keys are thin and should never be forced, but this is a terrible design and major flaw. It's a good lock, but comes with a terrible key, so I would not suggest buying this.

Summary: Great U-Lock that will secure your bike!
Comment: I shopped around for a good u-lock and finally decided on the OnGuard Bulldog DT 5012. I was originally going to go for the Onguard Brute but as soon as I picked it up, I knew right a way that this lock wasn't right for me. I can't take a lock that weighs way more than my bike. It was very heavy at over 4 lbs but I am sure that is why it is so strong. The OnGuard Bulldog is a nice size where it isn't too big or too small. I can't go for the Bulldog mini because the mini won't fit many posts that I use. This Bulldog is just the right size.... One poster said that he left his bike overnight in the Brooklyn projects. This is a heavy crime area and especially leaving overnight is a recipe for disaster that I think the more expensive and better secure lock would have to do. If someone is in a heavy crime area, SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY FOR THE KRYPTONITE FAHGETTABOUT U-Lock or the On-Guard Brute U-Lock.
Pros:
1. 13 mm hardened steel
2. It's not too big or too small. Its a tad bit large but it fits nicely on my Gary Fisher Marlin. Large U-Lock but that is what is needed for the posts that I attach it to. The mini bulldog would never work for me.
3. Reasonable price! Gives solid protection for the price. If you are in the heavy crime areas, you should lug around a gigantic and heavy lock like krytonite 8 lb lock, krytonite u-lock or the onguard brute.
4. I think the Onguard Bulldog looks great. Best looking lock around!
5. The cable is nice to have to protect BOTH your tires. Yes, I am able to put the u-lock on my front tire, frame and post. Then I slip on the cable through the back tire to the U-lock.
Cons:
1. The cable is nice but it is still a little bit short when you have a larger bulkier post. When you have that kind of large post, I don't see the cable being long enough. Luckily, I have a longer Krytonite Cable Combination Lock that coils nicely around this U-Lock. I would definitely invest in a little bit longer cable just to be safe if you don't always use a regular bike post. For example, there were no bike posts around so I had to use a concrete pillar as a post. I wasn't able to protect both my tires and bike with the regular 4 foot cable but I was able to protect everything with the longer 6 foot Kryptonite cable that I had.
