What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The title specifies a 16 mm shackle and Sold Secure Gold, but the technical details do not confirm the shackle measurement or certification. The listed material is Plastic, which appears inconsistent with the heavy-duty lock description, and the included-components field says “NESSUNO” despite the title mentioning keys. Confirm the selected listing's configuration, certification and contents before purchase. The listing also gives conflicting warranty information, stating both “1 year manufacturer.” and “Lifetime”, and describes a key-replacement programme and reimbursement offer without clarifying applicable terms.
