Ground Anchors

When you need to secure bikes, motorcycles or outdoor equipment, a ground anchor creates a fixed point that makes theft significantly harder. They're designed to be permanently installed into concrete or other solid surfaces, giving you something immovable to lock your belongings to.

A ground anchor works brilliantly for home security and commercial applications. Pair one with a security chain and a solid padlock, and you've got a setup that'll make opportunist thieves think twice.

Why choose a ground anchor?

The main advantage is simple: ground anchors can't be carried away. Thieves can't steal your bike or motorcycle if it's properly chained to an anchor bolted to the ground. This makes them particularly useful in garages, sheds, driveways and storage areas.

We stock ground anchors from Squire and Abus, two brands with solid reputations for security hardware. The Squire WA500 offers versatile mounting options for indoor or outdoor use. For higher security needs, the Squire GA6 is Sold Secure Motorcycle Diamond certified. The Abus WBA100 is built tough enough to withstand being driven over, making it ideal for driveways and garages.

Outdoor use and weather resistance

All our ground anchors are designed to handle British weather. They're built to resist corrosion and maintain their strength whether they're exposed to rain, frost or sunshine. This makes them reliable all year-round security solutions.

Consider your mounting surface when choosing a ground anchor. Concrete provides the strongest installation, but check the anchor's specifications to ensure it's suitable for your location.

A ground anchor is only as effective as the chain and padlock you use with it. Make sure your security chain is long enough to loop through your equipment and the anchor comfortably, but not so long that there's excessive slack. You can explore suitable options in our motorcycle locks range.

For chains and padlocks, we recommend hardened steel construction with weather-resistant finishes. This combination creates multiple layers of security that work together.
