Full details

The Selections Wheelie Bin Security Lock is an ideal solution for homeowners and businesses looking to prevent unauthorized waste dumping or keep pests out of their bins. This heavy-duty, 8mm thick plastic lock provides a robust physical barrier that secures your bin lid effectively without requiring permanent modifications or drilling. While the installation process is straightforward and tool-free, users should note that the lock must be manually removed before each collection day to ensure the waste management team can empty the bin.

FAQs

Does this lock require me to drill holes in my bin?

No, the design is completely non-invasive and does not require drilling or tools.

Will this fit a standard 240-litre bin?

Yes, the lock is fully adjustable from 5cm to 26cm and is designed to fit standard domestic 240-litre bins.

Is the padlock waterproof?

The padlock provided is water-resistant, making it suitable for standard outdoor weather conditions.

Can I leave the lock on during collection?

No, you must unlock and remove the device before the bin is collected, or the waste management crew will be unable to empty the bin.

What if I lose both keys?

Since this is a standard padlock, you may need to use a bolt cutter to remove it if you lose both keys; it is recommended to keep one key in a safe, designated spot.

Troubleshooting

The lock feels loose and the lid can still be opened.

Re-adjust the bracket depth. Ensure it is pulled tightly against the underside of the bin lip before locking the padlock.

The padlock is difficult to insert.

Check for debris in the shackle holes. Ensure the bracket holes are perfectly aligned before attempting to lock.

Pros and Cons

No drilling or structural modifications required

Must be manually removed before bin collection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation involves no tools; simply slide the bracket onto the rim of your wheelie bin and adjust the tension until the lid is held firmly closed. The unit is compatible with almost all standard plastic wheelie bins. For care, because the lock is constructed from rust-proof plastic, it requires minimal maintenance. If the padlock becomes stiff due to exposure to rain or debris, applying a small amount of silicone-based lubricant into the keyhole can restore smooth operation. Ensure that you keep one key in a secure location and the second as a backup in a safe place inside your home.
