The ABUS Steel-O-Chain™ 4804K is a practical 110 cm chain lock for children’s bikes, entry-level bikes and lower-risk parking situations. Its longer chain length makes it easier to secure the frame to a bike stand, railing or other suitable fixed object.
The 4 mm square-link chain is made from specially hardened steel and covered by a textile sleeve to help prevent scratches to the bike’s paintwork. This key-operated version is a straightforward everyday lock for riders who prefer a traditional key over a combination code.
Extra Length for Easier Locking
At 110 cm long, the Steel-O-Chain™ 4804K gives you more flexibility when locking up. It makes it easier to pass the chain through the frame and around a fixed object, particularly when racks or railings are awkwardly positioned.
Protects Your Bike’s Finish
The hardened-steel chain is covered by a textile sleeve, helping to prevent the lock from rubbing against the frame and damaging paintwork. It also makes the lock more comfortable to handle and carry.
Right for Lower-Risk Parking
This is an entry-level chain lock best suited to lower-risk locations and shorter stops. For higher-value bikes, long periods of unattended parking or areas with a greater theft risk, we recommend stepping up to a heavier-duty ABUS lock.

Who Is It For?
The Steel-O-Chain™ 4804K suits children, families and riders with entry-level bikes who want a simple key lock with useful extra length. It is ideal for short stops in visible, lower-risk locations where the bike can be secured to a suitable fixed object.
Our Thoughts
The extra 110 cm length is the main advantage here. It makes locking through the frame and around a stand much easier than a shorter lock. The textile sleeve is a good touch for painted frames, but keep the security level in perspective: it is a deterrent for lower-risk use, not the lock we would choose for an expensive bike left unattended all day.
