Latest News

We are pleased to announce the availability of 3 new padlocks suitable for use with the Protector 16mm chain (amongst others). There are now lower-cost alternatives to the ultimate-security Squire SS65CS padlock that also fit the 16mm chain. These are the incredibly compact but still highly rated Untouchable; the doubley-certified Vector Blok disc lock/padlock; and the very competitively-priced Gladiator. The Squire SS65CS still remains the one to beat, but these alternatives are all Sold Secure Motorcycle Gold approved and definitely worth consideration.

We are also now supplying the new Squire Ex-Caliber 16mm chain as another top-quality uncroppable chain, this time backed with the Squire brand. The Ex-Caliber is only available with the Squire SS65CS padlock, so it appears in our Package Deals section.

We have added 1.2m and 1.8m lengths to the Protector 13mm range and this chain is now available in discounted packages with the Torc ground anchor (e.g. for high-value bicycle security).

The Protector 10mm chain is now supplied with a black sleeve, and we've added another discounted package that combines the Protector 10mm chain with the Squire SS50CS padlock and another that extends the 10mm chain into the Torc ground anchor packages.

These additional package deals make it easier to achieve an appropriate Sold Secure-approved combination for insurance compliance, e.g. for bicycle security.

The Anti-Pinch Pin is now available with optional flame-retardant low-temperature-shrink heatshrink sleeving, to protect bodywork etc.

The Torc Ground Anchor

We at Pragmasis developed the Torc ground anchor because we didn't want our motorcycles to be stolen and we thought the other products on the market were too difficult to install, gave poor security, or both! We now specialise in supplying high quality British made security products to protect valuable items.

The Shed Shackle

There was nothing on the market to solve another problem so we created the Shed Shackle to combat the huge growth of thefts from sheds. If you keep bicycles or garden equipment in a wooden shed, this could be what you've been looking for!

The Protector Chains

Not satisfied with the security chains available from other manufacturers and suppliers, we have just launched our own Pragmasis Protector chains - top quality security at an affordable price, especially when combined with other products in our Package Deals.

Introducing the Anti-Pinch Pin

We've created another new product to help secure motorcycles, quads, etc - The Anti-Pinch Pin! This helps you to lock bikes that don't have any holes large enough for you to route a decent-sized chain. Instead of putting the chain through the wheel, which is the usual alternative, the Anti-Pinch Pin gives you the option to lock the heart of the bike, and in some cases it is much easier to use than a long chain - read more about the Anti-Pinch Pin. 

• It can be easily fitted with DIY tools, yet uses four high quality fixings rather than relying on a single bolt. This makes it extremely secure without you having to concrete it in.
• It is unique in that it can be fitted to brick walls, concrete floors or even inside a van or metal out-building such as a bike safe.
• It rotates and folds - this keeps it out of your way, but makes it harder to attack for the thief. You can even drive your car over it without damaging the car or the ground anchor.
• It is large enough to be used with heavy-duty chains. Many chains currently on the market can be easily bolt-cropped in a few seconds. The Torc ground anchor is large enough to cope with high quality chains that cannot be bolt-cropped
• It is Sold Secure Gold in all six categories - approved for use with motorcycles, bicycles, ATV's, caravans, cars and commercial equipment.
• Awarded Security Product of the Year by Cycling Plus magazine, December 2006.
• "This is the best one on the market" (Chippy Wood, Bike Magazine)
• It is made in Britain. Buying the Torc anchor means you are getting guaranteed high quality and supporting British manufacturing at the same time!

What makes the Shed Shackle Special?

• It is unique in that it reinforces a large area of the wooden wall of the shed to create an effective anchoring point.
• It can be easily fitted with DIY tools - There is no need to install a concrete base or to empty your shed.
• It is easy to use since it supports your chain/etc. at a convenient height to secure your valuables.
• Its height helps you to keep your locks/chains/etc. clear of the floor, making them harder to attack.
• It is ideal for securing bicycles and garden equipment.
• It is made from hardened steel, with security shear nuts and threadlock for attack resistance.
• It is difficult and noisy to attack - Thieves don't approve!
• It has a modular design allowing you to adapt the installation to suit your own shed.
• It suits a range of security devices (e.g. chains, U-locks and cable locks).
• Given a Pick of the Year award, Cycling Plus magazine, December 2006.
• Sold Secure approved.
• It is also made in Britain - Support British manufacturing!
