What is Sold Secure?

When considering physical security for your motorcycle, the Sold Secure sticker is a must. Sold Secure are owned by the Master Locksmiths Association. They work in conjunction with the Police, major insurance companies and former criminals. Sold Secure devise a range of tests. Only the best products pass this stringent criteria.

For motorcycles, there is one general level, the ‘Gold’ (scooters have a two-tier ‘Silver’ and ‘Gold’ rating). To achieve this, the product being tested must resist an attack for a minimum of five minutes by a combination of (but not limited to) the following: Concealable hand tools (screwdrivers, chisels, picks, shims, cutters, etc.); hacksaws and drills with various blades/bits; pry/wrecking bars; club and sledge hammers; bolt croppers of various sizes; splitters/separators; and freezing agents.

To pass the ‘Diamond’ level test (the highest physical security test level Sold Secure certificate), the product must be able to resist attack by an angle grinder! Milenco’s Snaefell range is one of the few products in the world that has gained this certification.
