Kryptonite Ground Anchor — Heavy-Duty Floor & Wall Mount for Bikes, 16mm Hardened Shackle

This heavy-duty anchor is built from hardened carbon-alloy steel and designed to be fixed into concrete, brick or suitable masonry to create a reliable locking point where none exists. Its domed body allows the hardened 16mm shackle to sit flush when not in use, reducing trip and wheel hazards while preserving a strong resistance to cutting, prying and pull attacks. The package includes two masonry drill bits to streamline the initial and final hole preparation for secure installation.

How does this anchor fit into garages or shared parking areas?

The anchor mounts to floors or walls and is appropriate for residential garages, storage rooms and commercial bike rooms. Once bolted down it gives a stable, permanent attachment point for U-locks, chains or cables so you can secure frames and wheels directly to the building structure.

• Surface-mount baseplate designed for concrete or solid masonry
• Includes a pilot and final-diameter masonry bit for accurate drilling
• Flush-shackle design prevents obstruction to vehicles and pedestrians
• Compatible with most U-locks and chain locks for flexible use

What resistance does it offer against theft attempts?

Constructed from hardened carbon-alloy steel with a thick shackle and a robust baseplate, the anchor increases the time and effort required for common physical attacks. Hardened inserts and heavy steel construction focus on stopping cutting, levering and pulling methods commonly used against simple anchors.

• 16mm hardened shackle for enhanced cut resistance
• Heavy steel baseplate resists pull and pry forces
• Hardened anti-drill ball bearing inserts protect mounting hardware
• Polypropylene/ABS cover shields the shackle and reduces corrosion exposure

How do I install and use the anchor on different surfaces?

Installation requires drilling into concrete or solid masonry using the supplied pilot and final masonry bits. For truck or trailer beds an accessory mounting kit is needed; wall mounting follows a similar drilling and bolting method. Follow local building codes and torque recommendations for anchor bolts.

• Two masonry bits included: pilot hole and final moly-bolt diameter
• Mounts accept standard expansion or chemical anchors (as specified by installer)
• Accessory kit required for non-masonry surfaces like thin metal truck beds
• Shackle lays flat under a protective cover when not locked up

What practical benefits will I notice day-to-day?

Beyond theft-deterrence, the low-profile domed design keeps floors clear for walking and driving while making bike lock-up faster and more convenient. The shielded shackle reduces wear on chains and locks and helps maintain a tidy, secure storage area.

• Flush profile minimizes trip and wheel catches in garages or driveways
• Protective cover reduces dirt and moisture exposure to the shackle
• Permanent installation eliminates the need to carry heavy tethering hardware
• Works with existing Kryptonite and third-party locking devices

Who is this for: The Kryptonite Evolution Ground Anchor is aimed at homeowners, bike commuters, property managers and small business owners who need a dependable, permanent anchor point for bicycles, e-bikes and other small vehicles where no fixed attachment currently exists. It suits anyone wanting a professional-grade mounting point with a low profile, solid construction and straightforward installation for long-term security.
