Searching for the best budget bike locks is a balance between three main factors: cost, security and usability. There is no point buying a lock that is hard to crack but can't be practically used on your bike in the circumstances you want to secure it.
The good news is that you don't have to spend hundreds of pounds to lock up your bike securely. We set ourselves a budget of around £50 and found plenty of options to recommend. However, if you can't find what you are looking for in this article and are happy to consider spending a bit more, you might want to check out our guides to the best bike locks or the best lightweight bike locks.
Locks come in all shapes and sizes but fall broadly into three groups: D-locks (also known as U-locks), chain locks and cable locks. Cable locks tend to be very easy to cut through with basic tools, so we have only included one in this round-up – and that's because it is an ultra-lightweight option that may meet the specific needs of some cyclists.
