Rank #7 in Best Bike Locks 2026: 10 Ranked, Diamond Beats Gold on Price
NDakter Keyless Combination D-Lock with 5 ft Cable
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The NDakter Bike Lock is a U lock you open with a code rather than a key. The listing describes a 4-digit resettable combination, factory-set to 0000, sold with a 5ft / 1.5m steel cable for looping around posts, racks or a second wheel. It sits at number 7 in this guide at £25.99, with 4.5 stars from 987 ratings and a Best Sellers Rank of 16 in Cycling U-Locks.
The finding on its own listing is that it quotes no Sold Secure grade anywhere — not in the bullets, not in the specification fields — in a guide where the grade claims are the whole argument, and where the two Burg-Wächter locks carry Gold and Diamond claims. The numbers inside the listing also fail to line up with each other. The shackle is given as 0.57in and the supplied cable as 0.47in, yet the specification fields list two separate items in the box while Number of Pieces and Unit Count both read 1. The Controller Type field reads "Hand Control" and Control Method reads "Touch" on a lock whose only control is a mechanical dial, and the Model Number field reads "Fahrradschlösser", a German word for bicycle locks. Several bullets are also cut off mid-word in the feed. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing of our own.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Ordered these NDakter bike locks and they arrived the next day. They feel solid and quite heavy-duty, and having the combination dial instead of keys is super convenient. Does the job well without any fuss.”
Verified purchase“Nice and solid. Like the additional cable which seems sturdy. The release mechanism means you can clip lock back together when not in use without having to reset code.Easy to set own pass code.”

Questions people ask
Does the NDakter bike lock need a key?
No. The listing says the NDakter Bike Lock uses a 4-digit code, so there is no key to carry or lose, and the code is resettable from the initial setting of 0000.
How thick is the lock?
The bullet describes a 0.57in shackle in hardened high performance alloy steel with a zinc alloy lock head, and lists the supplied cable at 0.47in thick and 5ft / 1.5m long.
What comes in the box?
The Included Components field reads "combo bike u lock+5ft cable lock" — two items — while the Number of Pieces and Unit Count fields both read 1.
How much does the NDakter bike lock cost?
It is listed at £25.99.
Does the listing quote a Sold Secure grade?
No. Neither the bullets nor the specification fields name a Sold Secure grade for the NDakter lock, unlike the Burg-Wächter listings in this guide.
Does it have touch controls?
The listing does not explain it. Controller Type reads "Hand Control" and Control Method reads "Touch", although the lock is described as a 4-digit mechanical combination dial.
How big is the locking space?
The listing gives an internal locking size of 7.5in x 4.5in and an external size of 9.8in x 7in, and says it provides more internal space than other bike U locks.
