Why Mul-T-Lock Padlocks and Hardened Chains Are the Best Defence

Why Mul-T-Lock hardened Padlocks and Hardened Chains Are Your Best Defence and provide superior protection for motorbikes, plant equipment and gates. Expert advice on choosing the right security solutions to prevent theft and keep your valuable assets safe.

Protecting your Valuable Assets

If you own a motorbike, manage plant equipment, or have gates protecting your property, you’ll know just how attractive these assets are to thieves. With theft of motorcycles and plant machinery on the rise across the UK, investing in proper security isn’t just sensible – it’s essential.

Recent police statistics show that a motorcycle is stolen every 20 minutes in Britain, while plant equipment theft costs the construction industry upwards of £800 million annually. The right security solution can make all the difference between keeping your property safe and becoming another statistic.

Why MUL-T-LOCK Hardened padlocks and chain are the best solution

When it comes to protecting your valuable assets, not all security solutions are created equal. Mul-T-Lock has built its reputation on providing exceptionally high-security locking systems that outperform standard options in almost every way.

What makes Mul-T-Lock padlocks superior?

• Patented key control systems that prevent unauthorised key duplication
• Drill-resistant hardened steel bodies that withstand physical attacks
• Pick-resistant pin tumbler mechanisms featuring interactive elements
• Weather-resistant designs perfect for outdoor applications
• Insurance-approved security grades that may reduce your premiums

Our customers consistently report that Mul-T-Lock padlocks last longer, provide greater peace of mind, and offer substantially better protection than budget alternatives they’ve tried previously.

Pairing Mul-t-lock Padlocks With The Best Hardened Security Chains

A padlock is only as strong as what it’s securing. That’s why pairing your Mul-T-Lock padlock with a properly hardened security chain is absolutely critical.

The best hardened chains feature:

• Manganese or boron-alloyed steel for maximum strength
• Thick links (10mm minimum, 16mm+ recommended for high-risk items)
• Hardening treatments to resist cutting tools
• Protective sleeves to prevent damage to your property’s paintwork
• Appropriate length for your specific application

We’ve tested dozens of security chains with various attack tools, and properly hardened chains can resist even powered angle grinders for several critical minutes – often enough time for thieves to abandon their attempt and move on to easier targets.

Padlock and chain sets for you

For Motorcycles and Bikes

Your motorcycle represents both a significant investment and a prized possession. We recommend:

• A 16mm+ hardened chain threaded through the frame (not just the wheel)
• Anchoring to immovable objects or ground anchors when possible
• A Mul-T-Lock Grade 5 or 6 padlock with a shackle appropriate for your chain
• Additional disc locks as a supplementary deterrent

For Plant Equipment and Machinery

Construction equipment theft is increasingly sophisticated. Protect your assets with:

• Extra-length hardened chains (2m+) to secure multiple points or larger items
• The heaviest grade chains for high-value equipment
• Mul-T-Lock’s weather-resistant padlocks designed for outdoor industrial environments
• Consider additional immobilisers and GPS trackers for comprehensive security

For Gates and Fixed Perimeter fencing

Your gate is your property’s first line of defence:

• Through-hardened chains with appropriate links to thread through gate elements
• Proper positioning to prevent the chain from being attacked against hard surfaces
• Mul-T-Lock’s anti-bump and anti-pick cylinders to prevent sophisticated entry attempts
• Weather-protected models for exposed locations

When it comes to protecting your motorbike, plant equipment, or securing your gates, investing in Mul-T-Lock padlocks and quality hardened chains isn’t just buying security products – it’s buying peace of mind.

The unique combination of Mul-T-Lock’s innovative locking technology with properly specified hardened chains creates a security system that deters opportunistic thieves and frustrates even determined attackers with proper tools.
