SUP Paddleboard and Surfboard Lock Anti-Theft Security System

This product works great. I bought it to lock my SUP/surfboards to my roof-rack. It wasn't completely clear how the item works from the description. The DockLock is an item that looks like a key with an internal metal ring and arm piece. When extended the arm piece splits and can be secured around the bar in your leash plug on your board. After the arms are secured around the leash plug, you slide the lock revealing a ring on the opposite side which you then feed the cable lock through. With the cable lock in place everything is secure. The cable lock included has a combo on it. The whole system works great, is easy to use, and gives me the piece of mind leaving my board on my car while running into a store or grabbing some food. I personally wouldn't use for long term or overnight use, because it is a standard cable bike like that could most likely be cut with some bolt cutters. I also would strongly recommend buying the cable lock with the DockLock piece because the diameter of the cable lock has to be just right to fit the DockLock.

I agonized for a while about spending $50 for a lock, but then I remembered how much I spent on the SUP board itself! This locks right into the fin box. You just have to install the little lock cleat once and then you can easily clip and unclick the lock. The cord is sturdy but small enough to even fit through D-rings; we use this to lock up two boards stacked on top of each other on a rack. The cable is also pretty long, probably twice the length of a standard bike lock.

I do not want the burden of loading/unloading my board to keep it from being stolen. The DocksLocks is an easy affordable solution.

This is a clever and very easy to use device to secure a SUP - I haven't seen another product that would work as well. Two adverse comments: First, the coiled cable is a pain to use; must be modeled after the cheaper bike cable locks - but SUP's travel by car or are just stored at one's home, cabin, etc. and not around a seat post. The cable would be much easier to use if it were a simple, non-coiled cable. Second, the cable and lock are adequate to secure against the casual or opportunistic thief, but not one with a cable cutter or other readily available tool. It does work adequately for my purposes, however, storing SUP's outside on a rack in a good neighborhood at the lake.I may buy more of the clip/connectors without the cable, and then put a nice padlock, with the shackle through the clip, and a regular cable of whatever diameter then secured by the closed padlock. This would make using the device less frustrating and with better aesthetics that the coiled blue cable. I will not return the coiled cables (since I knew what I was getting), but will give them to some kid with a cheap bike.

Just what we needed to protect our investment. Easy, secure and good price point. Works as designed.

This set is exactly what we needed-- we bought two of them. We paddle every morning over to a coffee shop on the other side of the harbor. It can be difficult to lock a paddleboard-- we've tried the lasso locks and other solutions, but nothing really worked for us. Either the board wouldn't feel secure or it would take forever to get it locked and/or unlocked. I found this and read all the reviews and thought it might be perfect, and it IS! I can lock my board so quickly-- we can lock a few boards together, and because one end is so small, we can easily thread it through a dock cleat or through a kayak. Highly recommended!!

The locking jaws that clamp onto the leash base works great and the lock combination tumbles smoothly. I use this lock and cable to secure a paddleboard on the side of a boat, held up by an outdoor rack. While the marina is secure, this really adds to my sense of comfort in leaving the board in an easily accessible position.I wish there was a way to secure a short loop of thin nylon rope between the clamping device and the cable as there is a little bit of risk of dropping this thing off a marina slip into some murky waters below when taking the lock off.

The lock itself works and is no doubt effective at least in combating opportunistic thieves.The coiled cable however is a pain in the ***. It seriously limits the reach and can make it difficult to get the lock into a position where you can open it as you have to maneuver a large unwieldy board and try to twist the cable and lock while moving the letters at the same time.If I had to make this purchase again, I'd buy the lock by itself and buy a straight cable the same diameter as this one.

Simply poorly made. Imported into Aus from the US so return a pain.
