Why This Product is so Good
The Lock2Me rack is a stylish rack that is ideal for sites where the looks of the rack are as important as its functionality, for example in city centres and modern developments.
In addition to its good looks, the rack also holds the bike well and provides a number of locking points.
The user is encouraged to lock the bicycle frame and front wheel to the rack.

Layout & Space Requirements
Racks should be spaced so that users can access their bikes easily, which is usually between 800mm and 1000mm apart.
Capacity
Each rack parks two bicycles – one on each side.
Dimensions
– 700mm wide at the top, narrowing to 500mm at the bottom
– 950mm high

Mounting/Installation
Racks can be embedded into concrete to a depth of 300mm.
Surface mounted racks are bolted to good quality concrete with 100mm x m10 or m12 bolts, with four bolts to each leg.
Toast racks are supplied welded to rails in multiples of two or three hoops and are bolted to the ground through the rails with 110mm x m12 bolts. Rows can be as long as required.
Materials, Locking Mechanisms & Accessories
Material Options
Galvanised and powder coated finish
• An excellent long-lasting finish that is less damaging to the bike’s paintwork. Powder coating is available in most RAL colours.
Galvanised mild steel
• ‘Industrial’ looking, but effective protection for 10-15 years.
• 304 Stainless steel
• A non-rusting material that suits modern surroundings. ‘Marine Grade’ 316 stainless steel is also available.
Locking Mechanisms & Options
The security bar allows the cyclist to lock the bike frame and wheels with their own chain or D-lock.
Security
The Lock2Me rack provides many locking points for a bike.
However, the racks are only as good as the user’s lock. The bikes are visible to potential thieves and vandals, and they are open to the elements (unless under a shelter). Accessories, wheels and saddles can be stolen from them.
Please see our product range for more long-term secure bicycle parking.
Damage to Bikes
Like all similar racks, the bike just rests against the rack and the opposite bike. We recommend powder coating as this offers some protection for the bike’s paintwork.
