This is the 3rd time I'm replacing my mounting clip. Necessary to have, but annoying that it keeps breaking.

These are the perfect locks. Many cyclists try to make his/her components lighter. Then burden their bike with a lock weighing more than the frame. TiGr locks solve that whether for a commuter or a lo... See more

Using for about 1 month. Seems a lot of thought went into design: because it’s bendable it’s more versatile than u-locks; it’s fun to open locking mechanism (though I worry that it may be starting to... See more

The available TiGr frame mount holds the lock snug on your bike as you ride so the lock is there when you need it.

This is the third time i am buying a replacement cradle for tigr lock. The product is not designed well and the wings are made of fragile plastic which is why they keep breaking.

Thank you for your valuable feedback. The current mounting clip is made with ABS plastic. We are migrating to a polycarbonate plastic which will provide more flexibility and a longer lasting mounting clip. We will be announcing the change and availability sometime in the near future. Thanks again.

My TiGr lock will last longer than my knees, my lower back, and probably my mind. They’re a class act. If I had a sister, I’d trust TiGr with her.

What made my experience so great was the "person to person" and very quick email responses to my needs and questions. The delivery time was also on schedule - as promised.
As a result , I plan on purchasing an additional mini blue lock before my bike this summer.

Your product is flawed

Your product is flawed. It’s still a great product. The flaw part is the hanger that holds the lock. I have purchased three altogether too because they were broken, but I still love your product and you rework the lock that’s great.

Dear TiGr Customer Service,

Dear TiGr Customer Service,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the TiGr Bike Lock that I recently purchased. Unfortunately, my experience has been far from satisfactory, and I feel compelled to share my concerns.

Upon testing the lock, I was alarmed to find that it was easily cut with a saw, almost as if it were made of butter. This raises serious questions about the security and effectiveness of the lock. I had expected a much higher level of durability and protection, especially given the claims made about your products.

Additionally, I was disappointed to learn that the previous lock model made of titanium, which I had intended to purchase, is no longer available. The TiGr lock, as it stands, does not meet my expectations for securing my bike.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this lock to anyone looking for reliable bike security. I hope that you can address these concerns and consider improving the design and materials used in your locks.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

So sorry that our lock did not meet your expectations and that you were expecting the discontinued titanium model. The titanium model was replaced with a high carbon steel shackle. The high carbon steel is more difficult to cut through, more flexible, thinner, and a bit lighter. The Tigr Lock has a 2-star rating by ART which places it in a mid-range of security. The Tigr Lock is for customers looking for a lightweight lock that can be mounted to their bike. Yet provides a level of security to leave their bike unattended for short periods of time. Tigr Locks are not designed to protect a bike unattended overnight in a major metropolitan area. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration.

locks order

Ordered the locks, sent a mail giving the lock number, and received the locks with a random number.
It's a pale copy of the original titanium lock, a flimsy thin steel item. A pity as the original was a favourite among the family.

Thank you for being a TiGr Lock customer over the years. We want to address your issue and make sure you get the products and service you desire.

The emails we have sent you offering to address your issues have not been responded to yet. Please respond so we can help.

The hardened high carbon steel TiGr BLUE shackles that you reference are stronger, lighter, easier to use and less expensive than the old Ti shackles. May you see the benefits of the new locks and serve you well.
