Hi everyone.
i have one of the lidlox lock and I like it a lot.
The lock core is giving me problems and sadly seems like they are out of business.

im trying to track down a place to get a generic lock core for this thing…

www.lidlox.com

does anyone have done a similar job any clue ?

regards!

 

I have purchased two lid locks directly from LidLock and very satisfied with them. However, as you discovered, they are out of business. Now, I would rather deal with our original equipment manufacturers here in the States, but sometimes we're just forced to go elsewhere. These things are all over eBay for $25 or less. How do I know, I just bought two of them a couple months ago. They appear to be the same type of manufacturing and the quality and keys and stuff appears to be the same.

Much appreciated, I guess I’ll take two of those.
sad that they when out of business since I genuinely liked their product.

 

I never understood why someone would steal a helmet. Like stealing someone's underwear. Yuck.

100% agree with you.
At the moment nobody tried to steal my helmet but a little precaution doesn’t hurt

 

Probably couldn't compete with the cheap eBay knock offs... Sad for sure.

 

Yes, I've been riding over 50 years and have never locked a helmet, nor had one stolen. Nor have I heard of anyone else I know having their helmet stolen.

Is it really that common of a crime?

Try going to this page, maybe ask them if this will get you what you need.

I think he was involved with the Lid Locks project in the early days.

 

I’m in nyc and I’m very lucky since I never had in issue of any kind at all.
here and there I go to some bars at late hours but is just an extra precaution

 

I'm not throwing shade on your decision, just kind of a rhetorical question, as I can't recall meeting anyone who's had their helmet stolen. Usually it's the whole bike I've heard about.
