Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today we are looking at our Fulton 15 foot long cable lock here at etrailer. Now this cable lock is a really long cable lock and a great option to have. If you want to secure your bikes, your bike racks your bikes to bike stands, or even your other equipment on your camper, your RV, and just keeping things secure. And deter theft. This comes with two keys and it's very easy to use.
Just pop that key in there. And that allows you to remove this lock which then releases the two ends of your cable. And to lock it back up again. You can secure even without the keys attached, which is nice cause that makes it really quick and easy to use. Just to remember that since you can't lock it without your keys attach, hold on to your keys and try not to lose them.
Let's take a look at the cable itself. I do like how malleable it is and how easy it is to wrap around. Now the downside of that is that it is a little bit thinner than your more heavy duty cables like the Malone cable lock but then it's also very versatile. So that's a good thing too. Now this does have steel, braided steel inside it.
And it's coated with a vinyl coating just to help prevent scratches and corrosion. Taking a close look at the lock itself. I like how it feels. It feels strong. It feels sturdy.
It's a hefty lock, which is nice compared to maybe your barrel locks that look like they could be easy to pick. As you can see here with our 15 foot long cable lock we're able to really wrap it around our bikes. We have our front wheels protected. We have our frames protected. So if you have expensive bikes that you want to protect this is a good option cause you can really secure everything. But, if you are just carrying around two bikes and you don't need all the extra length, I recommend picking up our shorter options. I have it here wrapped around my bike that is on this bike stand. And while it does look a little bit like overkill, for one, it's protecting every single part of my bike. And for two, the main purpose of these cable locks is to deter theft. And if you compare one bike versus the other, you definitely will be avoiding the hassle of trying to grab this bike. But this one, which isn't locked up, is really easy for someone to just grab and roll away with. This doesn't just work for bike racks and bike stands. It also works if you have multiple bikes in your garage that you wanna keep secure. It works on your kayaks, on your roof racks, even on your bikes that are mounted to your camper. Just something to deter theft. Because of its long length, you can use it for a lot of different things. Look over here and you see there's this closed loop on one end. And this allows you to secure it at one point and use the rest of the 15 feet to secure whatever load, cargo, bikes, whatever you need secured. When you do attach your cable around your bike rack, what you need to do is usually bike racks have an attachment point somewhere. I like to use this attachment point here near the bottom of our Thule Hitching Post. And since this is a closed loop cable, we just pull it through this first. There you go. Make sure that's tight and from there we can wrap it around our bikes. So whatever you want to protect, if it's the wheels, wrap it around your wheels and then bring it through your frame. Now this is a long cable. So you're gonna have to wrap it around a lot of your bike. After looping it around your bike rack and your bikes, you can then secure it at the end and it snaps into place. Remove the keys and you can feel how secure it is and you're done. And that was a look at our Fulton 15 foot long cable lock here at etrailer.com..
Long cable and removable lock make it easy to thread and secure items.
Ok product. Does the job. Although the cable is covered with vinyl, the metal that holds the loop together doesn't.
The product is high quality and has worked great. My only suggestion would be a manufacturing change.
The loop that is created by crimping the cable is a tad big considering that the lock box portion of the lock almost can pass through this loop. This could easily be fixed by crimping the cable loop closer to the end of the loop making the loop hole smaller. Alternatively you could make the locking box larger.
Again, I couldn't actually pass the square lock box through the loop at the end of the cable with my bare hands. I'm not 100% convinced that with some tools it could be forced through the loop. If it could be forced through then that defeats the whole security of the product.
I still love the product because it's made of high quality materials and the length of the cable is super long.
I just wish the loop was smaller so the lock box absolutely has no chance of being manipulated through.

Ordered the Fulton hi-mount spare tire carrier as well as the Fulton 15' long cable lock. The cable lock is a little long for a smaller boat tire application but a few extra wraps around the trailer and it works fine.

Works great! No problems so far!
I purchased the 15 foot cable which is long enough to protect two-four mountain bikes on my trailer hitch bike rack. Plastic coating prevents scratches and it’s thick enough to discourage thieves, A high quality product and reasonably priced.
Exactly what was needed to secure two bikes to a hitch rack. Most 10' cables barely make it if you secure the frame and both wheels. A 15' cable is perfect, much thicker than the standard thin cables on the rack itself, and the lock is simple and straight forward. Can't ask for anything simpler to use for peace of mind, knowing that nothing is 100% foolproof, but it'll be harder than grab-n-run on a quick stop-n-go.
I used this for locking all 4 of my bicycles to the hitch of ny motorhome, both while on the rack and off. This is a great quality lock that I have used for a whole year at this point, while traveling over 25000 miles.
Perfect length for my application of 4 mountain bikes on a trailer hitch bike rack. I can secure the bikes as well as the rack to my vehicle.
Really like this cable lock. I use it to secure my small trailer outside in the back yard. Over a year old and still looks like new!
This product worked out well with the spare tire carrier having one end small enough to go through the hole on the mounting plate.
The bike hitch worked great! We took a long road trip with our bikes and all was well. It was easy too install too. I would highly recommend it.
Everything arrived in less than a week. The products are better quality than you might expect from the price. I have adjusted and set up the bike rack and looked at the Cargo Bag. Set up and assembly was quick and easy.
Bought this cable lock for securing bicycles while camping. Looks like it will do the job. It is long enough and hearty enough to do the job.
Great lock used it to secure hitch rack bag.
Fits just as I hoped it would. Gives me some piece of mind that someone can't walk away with my Kayak & Cart.
I've owned this product a number of years ago. It was perfect for securing my dinghy to the dock. Now I have a new dinghy and of course I want the same quality product.
Very handy for securing multiple bikes or other items around a campsite.
Great Product and exactly what we needed...Thank You!
Works great. it's the perfect length
Purchased same item before and liked the quality and needed another long cable. Perfect.
Product arrived quickly and is exactly wha I needed/ordered!
so far so good

I have used the cable lock for over a year now. I stand by my previous review. The cable is high quality and works well. The length is super long and convenient. I do not know if my previous suggestion of making the loop at the end of the cable smaller was actually incorporated into the manufacturing process of future cables. I still recommend the product.
