Product Information

Full details

The Oxford Anchor 14 Ground & Wall Anchor Kit is designed for motorcycle and bicycle owners seeking a robust, secure anchor point for their security chains. Its key benefit is providing a Sold Secure DIAMOND (for pedal cycles) and GOLD (for ground anchors) certified, hardened steel anchor, offering strong deterrence against theft and potentially qualifying for insurance discounts. A caveat is that it requires a suitable solid floor or wall (like concrete) for installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What makes the Oxford Anchor 14 'Sold Secure DIAMOND' and 'GOLD' certified?

This certification means the anchor has undergone rigorous testing by Sold Secure, a leading independent security testing organization. DIAMOND is the highest rating for pedal cycles, and GOLD is the highest for ground anchors, indicating superior resistance to theft attempts.

Can I install this on a brick wall?

The anchor is designed for installation on solid concrete floors and walls. Installation on brickwork is not recommended unless the brick is solid and the wall construction is known to be robust enough to support the anchor's security rating, following precise installation guidelines.

What is Secured by Design (SBD)?

Secured by Design (SBD) is a police initiative in the UK that aims to reduce crime by promoting well-designed products and practices. Accreditation means the Oxford Anchor 14 meets the high standards set by the police for crime prevention.

Does this anchor come with a chain?

No, the Oxford Anchor 14 is a ground and wall anchor kit. You will need to purchase a compatible Oxford chain or cable lock separately to use with the anchor.

How many chains can I attach to one anchor?

The anchor is designed to be a single secure point. While you can loop one or more chains through the anchor loop, it is most effectively used to secure one primary vehicle or bicycle.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will typically need a drill with appropriate masonry bits (sized for the expansion bolts), a hammer, and wrenches or sockets for tightening the bolts.

Troubleshooting

Anchor feels loose after installation

Ensure all expansion bolts and plugs are tightened to the maximum recommended torque. If the concrete is compromised or the hole was drilled incorrectly, the anchor may not be secure. Consider professional reassessment.

Difficulty fitting the security chain

Confirm the chain's link diameter does not exceed 16mm. Ensure the chain is correctly aligned with the anchor loop before attempting to connect.

Rust or corrosion on the anchor

While made of hardened steel, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause surface rust. Clean with a wire brush and apply a thin layer of rust inhibitor or grease if necessary, ensuring it doesn't impede chain fitment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Achieves highest Sold Secure ratings (DIAMOND/GOLD) for superior security.
Robust hardened steel construction resists aggressive attack methods.
Approved by Secured by Design (SBD) for enhanced crime prevention.
Can potentially lead to insurance discounts due to its high security rating.
Includes all necessary fittings and anti-tamper measures for a secure installation.

Cons

Requires professional or competent DIY installation on solid surfaces (concrete).
Permanent installation means it cannot be easily moved or relocated.
Effectiveness relies on the quality of the installation and the chosen security chain.
Not suitable for temporary use or for mounting on less stable surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires a solid concrete floor or wall. Use the provided high-security expansion bolts, anti-tamper ball-bearings, and steel plugs. Ensure the chosen location can accommodate the anchor's dimensions (210mm long x 100mm wide x 70mm high). Drill appropriate holes, insert the fittings, and tighten securely to create an unassailable anchor point. Follow the included instructions carefully for a safe and effective installation.

Compatibility: The Oxford Anchor 14 is designed to fit all Oxford chains and cable locks with link diameters up to 16mm. It is also compatible with most other reputable security chains of a similar or smaller link size.

Care: Keep the anchor point clean and free from debris. Periodically check that the anchor remains securely fixed and that no signs of tampering or damage are present. No specific maintenance is required for the anchor itself, but ensure any connected chains are also well-maintained.
