Frame/seat mount bike locks

Frame/saddle mount

— the mount designed to fix the lock on the bike in the process of movement and when parking in safe places. By the name, such a mount is installed on the frame or under the saddle — depending on the type of lock: for example, a saddle mount is popular among cable locks, and a folding lock will fit only on the frame. Usually, the lock is installed and removed using a quick-release latch.

Of course, the lock can be carried in a pocket, backpack, etc.; however, a special mount is often more convenient. In addition, keeping the lock on the bike is less likely to forget it when leaving.
