Requires drilling two 10mm, 100mm deep holes (with masonry bit like a 10x150) and to widen the entrance of the holes to 14mm (with a 14mm masonry bit, any length will do as you only need a few cm).For fitting, I would suggest placing the assembled anchor in the desired position (including sleeves), to drill a 1 cm deep hole by passing the bit through one of the sleeves, then to insert a screw in the sleeve and hole and do the same on the other side. The holes are easily and reliably marked in this way. The drilling can then be completed. Beware, this product is not very tolerant of drilling at angles,

I've seen this as much as £40 elsewhere so for £9 on Amazon it seemed like it was a misprint!Great value wall anchor from one of the leading names in security locks. I needed to buy 2 drill bits (a long 10mm for the wall screws and a short 16mm to countersink the metal sleeves) to a total cost of £9 so it was £18 all in and on the wall. I deliberately stripped the screw heads once they were in and then hammered the metal covers in so its a sledgehammer job to get it off (you can never have too many anchor points in a garage!)It's solid as a rock on the garage wall behind my Boardman bike with a heavy duty U lock locking them together,

I am very happy with this wall anchor. I bought two to lock my bike on the (public) balcony.One of my D-locks goes through the anchor and the frame, another d-lock through the front wheel and a steel cable runs from one lock through the 2nd anchor, though the back wheel and the frame, to the other d-lock.It seems very strong and safe now and I hope it is enough to keep thiefs away.Installation was easy although I did have to buy a 16 mm drill.Now my only worry is having to remove them in case we'd move house...

Easy enough to fit with the right tools, but be careful if you want to fit it to a garage wall of one brick thickness. You need to drill holes 100mm deep with a 12mm drill, and this would go right through a standard brick. You then need to counter-sink each hole with a 16mm drill - which you won't find in your standard DIY kit. Provided you have the right drill and bits, then it's easy - drill the holes, tap the bolts in, turn a few time and it's done. Feels very secure.

Really well made, comes in 3 pieces I assume to help resist attack if one side is pryed away the other half of the backplate will remain intacked being a separate plate. Front plate has edges rolled up, making it very rigid but also a nice rolled edge which helps your securing cable feed in and out under normal use and would stop it being a cutting edge if attacked withsomething forcing it against the edge like a prybar.

Impressed with the design, this is a solid piece of kit. I suspect the biggest weakness will be whatever you screw it into.Installation tips: pilot the holes with a series of increasing sized bits to get accurate holes. Also, please note, you'll need a 16mm masonry bit (in addition to a 10mm one) to countersink the holes.My shiny new Carrera Kraken is now safely shackled to it in the garage.

I have used one of these wall anchors to secure my motorcycle for many years, but when I had to upgrade the lock and chain to one specified by my insurers I found that the opening is too small for a typical 12mm diameter link chain. Otherwise an excellent product.

Easy enough to work out what needs doing, but it requires super accurate drilling as it has little tolerance to variation.Instructions in my packet were minimal.Does the job of securing our bikes to garage wall.

Great solid piece of kit that will keep you bikes safe. Easy to install with clear instructions. Does require a decent power drill for the holes. My cordless wasn't up to task so had to hire one.

Like a rock. But it lost a star because the screws are so long they would go right through a single skin wall. I had to be a bit creative over siting, and not use the intended location

A substantial wall anchor, thoroughly recommended. I used it to secure an expensive garden seat and it would be very unlikely that anyone would be sucessful in removing the seat.

Bought these for GBP 9 each. An absolute bargain. Worth noting that the Abus Granit 1000 lock does not fit easily through the ring though.

Guess I should have realised, it will take so.e muscle power to install this. But really is very robust and will deter any thief

Good price for a well designed anchor.Needed a 14mm driil bit for the metal inserts not the 16mm described in the instructions.

Difficult to install due to the necessary long shank drill, however once done it is very strong securing wall/floor anchor.
