Abstract
A cable lock includes a security insert to help prevent tampering with the internal components of the cable lock. The security insert may include a pair of side panels oriented generally parallel to each other and an end panel oriented generally perpendicular to the side panels. The security insert fits between an inner and outer member which are both made of relatively soft metal, such as aluminum or zinc casting. The security insert is made of a harder material, such as steel, which is resistant to drilling. The security insert surrounds a locking mechanism that may include a disc positioned on an angled incline.
