British lock company receives police approval

Bike security specialist Hiplok has become part of the police-endorsed Secured by Design accreditation scheme. The Leamington Spa-based company manufactures specialised anti-angle grinder locks and ground anchors for bikes, and has become recognised for the smart design and reliable performance of its products.

Now, it has gained the support of Secured by Design (SBD). SBD is a division of the UK police service’s Crime Prevention Initiatives organisation, accrediting numerous security products to provide consumers with peace of mind when making purchases.

Ben Smith, co-founder of Hiplok, stated: “Joining Secured by Design emphasizes our dedication to offer practical security solutions for riders worldwide. Our expanding range of innovative, high-quality locks and security products are designed to keep bikes safe and ensure peace of mind.”

Doug Skins from Secured by Design commented: “Bike theft has become a profitable venture for many criminals, with tens of thousands of bikes stolen across the UK annually. I am pleased that Hiplok has joined Secured by Design, expanding the range of products that have been tested and certified to meet the exacting standards expected by the police.”
