Oxford Unisex Adult 10 Ground Anchor for Floors and Walls, Black

Easy to fit and easy to follow instructions.Will need a 16mm drill bit to put the anchor bolts in.

Tough and durable anchor, there is a review from another user on this product that gives you goo advice on what type of drill bit to use, this is accurate and helped me massively installing to a wall. Heavy weight that adds a lot of security, good value for money.

This is great solid piece of kit Ideal for low to medium security applications. I use it to secure ladders against my wall to stop theft or a burglar using them at the rear of my property to gain acces to windows on first floor as my garden is very private and not overlooked . Be aware this ground anchor is only as good as the chain or locking cable and padlock you use with it , so don't use a cheap cable or chain and lock , it is a false economy, a decent chain and padlock will cost at least as much as the ground anchor probably more and you would be foolish not to buy a decent quality one to complete the security that this ground anchor offers . It comes well boxed with two 16 mm expanding anchor bolts and a allen key to tighten ,also two ball bearings to hammer into allen head bolts after tightening down to prevent billy burglar from simply undoing all your hard work with an allen key of his own !My instructions to those who do not usually do diy or are ladies who are not familiar with DIY. i.e total NoviceBasic DIY skills required to fitTools required1 x electric drill or suitably powerful battery drill with "hammer action " (to allow drilling in brick or masonary)1 x pilot drill bit (masonary type ) 6mm or 8 mm perfect for this1 x 16mm masonary type drill bit for second drilling of pilot hole1 x Hammer1 x allen key of correct size for bolts ( this is supplied with the ground anchor )1 x bit of chewing gum or blue tackMethoddrill masonary bit pilot hole in 6 or 8 mm after usingground anchor to mark holes locationdrill again the same pilot holes but with larger 16mm masonary drill bit to required depth (use electricians tape wrapped around drill bit at correct depth (hold fixing bolt along the length of drill bit to measure this depth )Once the 16 mm hole has been drilled to correct depth blow out hole s so free from debri and dust .Put bolts on to ground anchor (this will require unscrewing bolts and placing the threaded bolt section through ground anchor holes and the re attaching the rest of bolt on the wall fixing side of anchor screw back on gently so a good amount of thread is on bolts DO NOT over tighten as this will spread or splay the bolt and you won't get it in drilled hole !)Line up anchor and bolts Gently tap in bolt heads until anchor is flat or flush with wall .Tighten with allen key supplied (ensure this is tightenened as MUCH as possible by hand no need to smash it tight with a hammer )When you are satisfied all is tightened and secure affix the ball bearings supplied into the allen heads and use a piece of chewing gum or blue tack if you have any to hold the ball bearing in place then tap this into the allen head bolts until they are seated as deep as they will go .Lastly..discard gum ! and admire your handywork and bask in the glory of knowing you would have made any low life scum burglars life that much harder if he comes calling to your home ....be aware a 16mm masonary drill bit is not the kind of size most DIY ers keep in their tool box and you must factor in the cost of one allow £5 -£10 available here from Amazon . The pilot drill bit of 6mm or 8mm is common and usually in most DIYERs drill bit box .Hope this helps the total noviceP.S some people complain here on reviews that bolts dont fit etc into the holes drilled and get stuck half way in etc etc ..this is due to user instal error NOT the bolts or a quality control issuewhen you have drilled the 16 mm fixing hole to the correct depth ream the drill bit in and out a dozen times to clean the hole out and remove any debri and rough masonary then when you put the expanding bolts in ENSURE that you have not overtightened the bolt and began to splay or spread the expanding bit BEFORE you have even tapped it into the hole . The bolt should not be splayed at the fixing side at all as this will mean you get the bolt trapped half way . Follow these simple steps and you should have no issues at all.

Firstly upon opening the box I was quite surprised by how small this is.I already have an abus floor anchor with a 16mm chain and fahgettaboutit mini lock.This Oxford anchor is for my 14mm kryptonite chain and disc lock.The 14mm chain does just about go through this so I wall mounted it to lock up the front wheel and frame.With both anchors and chains plus shed alarm I think I've made my ebike as safe as I can .Overall I'm happy with the Oxford anchor but I leave the chain permanently in it because it's a tight fit to keep taking out.

Seems secure, but I won't know until someone tries to steal my bike lol

This is a great addition for bike security, was very easy to install, feels very secure giving that extra piece of mind that the bike will be alot harder to steal. Excellent value for money will be buying another one for my other bike.

Very happy with purchase

Great solid quality thick metal - single skin layerI just squeezed an Oxford 16mm chain through it and that’s a large ass chainGood solid bolts includedSo I bought a 2nd one a week later for double security
