Recommendation to Secure Swagman 6 Bike Rack Outside
Question:
Is there a way to secure the rack outside so you can keep it from being stolen
asked by: Eileen
Expert Reply:
The 6 Bike Floor Stand - Swagman Park It 6 # S64019 can be secured outside using bolts through the rack into concrete or you can use a cable lock like etrailer 10' Long Cable Lock # e98891 to secure the rack to a building or tree for example. This rack is not designed for outdoor use, so I recommend using one of those methods with the Swagman Park City Indoor/Outdoor Bicycle Parking Stand - Double Sided - 6 Bikes # S64016 instead as it is designed for outdoor use. This has zinc and black powder coated steel tubing for more durability and rust resistance.
Any altering of the rack can cause damage, so I recommend using a cable lock or chain with an anchoring system to secure it to whatever you want to connect it to for theft deterrence.
