OUTDOOR SECURITY & PADLOCKS
Diamond accreditation for outdoor lockers
» SECURED BY DESIGN MEMBER company BikeAway are proud to announce that all of their lockers have now achieved the prestigious Sold Secure Bicycle Diamond accreditation , the first SBD member company to achieve this for outdoor storage lockers .
BikeAway is the UKs leading manufacturer in secure cycle locker storage . Established over 20 years ago in Devon with the intention of developing a safe and secure bike locker , BikeAway has paved the way for locker security .
Initially gaining Sold Secure Bicycle Gold accreditation , BikeAway developed their products in line with security trends and the needs of cyclists , and all of their lockers now have Sold Secure Bicycle Diamond accreditation .
BikeAway recently launched the horizontal bike locker to join their extremely popular vertical Warrior as part of the Warrior range . Both products have undergone testing and the whole locker and components have Sold Secure Bicycle Diamond standard – a testament to the strength and security of the lockers and a standard sought by many insurers of highquality bikes .
All lockers are constructed of galvanised steel , have strengthening gussets , box section and anti-jemmy plates are included to reinforce the structure . The door is secured using a patented lock design constructed from 6mm plate and the keyhole housing of the Sterling anti-drill padlock and lock mechanism is protected by hardened steel plates .
One of the Warrior ’ s unique points are the doors as they are fitted with hinges and locking points that ‘ grab ’ the sides of the locker which makes levering them open almost impossible .
Warrior ’ s are supplied with anchor bolts and are designed to be secured to a flat hard standing base , although adjustable legs can be used on all products if they are to be fitted to sloping ground .
The vertical Warrior allows bicycles to be stored upright and has a small footprint , ideal for locations where space is at a premium and has proven to be popular in social housing . While the new horizontal Warrior 2 will house two bikes , perfect for gardens and driveways , the unit can also be stacked making them a more versatile and an efficient alternative to two-tier stands in basement and indoor bike parks .
As fire safety can be a concern at indoor or underground storage areas the BikeAway team can add a fire seal to reduce the risk of fire spread , something which should be considered when storing e-bikes . These lockers have a galvanised finish to reduce the risk of fire and using a locker rather than a two-tier bike stand helps to maintain good housekeeping and by compartmentalising the bike store stops the uncontrolled spread of fire and smoke . External units can also be fitted with a solar panel to enable the charging of e-bikes without mains power – a superb addition to any Green Travel Plan .
BikeAway lockers are distributed fully assembled and can be installed independently or by BikeAway ’ s skilled fitters .
In addition to manufacturing lockers BikeAway also provide a management service to oversee the use of lockers , taking the headache of admin away from organisations .

BikeAway , commented : “ Another major advantage of using a bike locker with such a high attack standard is that the product itself is very robust which means that by its design and engineering has a long life span and this is especially important when used in public areas . BIkeAway has products that were installed over 20 years ago and they are still in good working order and require minimum maintenance , this can be said for most SBD products - you cannot achieve security without quality .”
Lyn Poole , Secured by Design , said : “ I am extremely pleased to have been able to update the product standard for BikeAway from Gold to Diamond for their Warrior Cycle Storage lockers . This is a great accomplishment and makes them the first SBD member to achieve that for outdoor storage for bike security . Their investment in research and development , as well as testing , has certainly paid off for them and I ’ d like to congratulate the whole BikeAway team .”
