Can this wire be easily cut?

If you leave it a place overnight or for an extended period of time, im sure it can. This is not the type of lock you get if you're going to be leaving your bike locked for a while. This lock is great for locking it up to get to class, picking-up groceries, etc.

If a bicycle thief wants to steal your bicycle, they will steal it. This, and just about every other lock, is to discourage casual thiefs from grabbing your bike.

The wire cut be cut. If you need high security I would not use this. Otherwise it's great.

I used a bolt cutter to cut the stupid thing off. It's just wires and plastic.

Yeah, if you have decent bolt cutters, you can get through any wire lock. That's why wire locks shouldn't be your primary defense against theft. As wire locks go, this is a pretty solid one, but at the end of the day it's not meant for heavy duty.

I shortened mine by first marking where the cut needed to be and making the cut with a large utility knife. The other option would be with a Hacksaw, either should do the job. If you do a search on the internet "best method for cutting wiremold" you should get some results/feedback on the subject.

The wire is very stiff. I doubt they would be easy to make out of wire pliable enough to spool.

yes it is very easy to cut. Scissors work very well and it can be cut straight or at an angle.

Only if you want to cut the wire and reconnect it. (Warning) if you cut the wire it is a fine wire and difficult to handle, reconnect, & strip the wire. You must do it taking your time. But it can be done. But I do not change my opinion of the light they are dim and not reliable.

The wires can be cut and re-attached in the middle. Removing and re-attaching the white connection could generated more trouble that just re-splicing each wire

Well, yes and no. You cannot cut the wire to shorten the length of mesh. However, we detached the yellow wiring from its mesh, reworked it to make the loops shorter and closer together to fit inside the mesh dimensions, and then installed it that way. It worked out fine. So if you take the time to reshape/retape the wire, you would be able to shorten the mesh sheet. Please be sure to have the right type of tape for reattaching the wire to the mesh.

Yes - but it wouldn't be super secure. It's not a very thick wire. It could easily be cut.

i would say yes as long as its secured well. this stuff kinks easily. also i had stated in an earlier post that it was easy it cut. the first time i cut it it went very well. the second time not so well. the tubing cutter i used had a hard time and crushed the pipe when cutting it. if you are going to cut it, insert a wooden dowel or a piece of pipe in the spot you will be cutting

Yes, but not real clean. The spiral wrap of the wire requires a bit of an angle on the cut and you'll need a wire cutter for the reinforcing wire. It'll be a little ragged but it can be done.

I would suggest you go to the hardware store or search on Amazon for wire cutters. Don't ruin a good pair of scissors. Breaking it would leave dangerous sharp edges.

I think it could be easily cut with a hack saw. It's pretty tough stuff. I wouldn't recommend using a utility knife for safety reasons.

sure it can be cut. it might be a little hard getting a neat hole. try an X-acto knife and or utility knife. scissors could work too.

You can cut the wire and hard wire in a box. The wire is low gauge so it breaks easily mine are just plugged in.

No it can't be cut because the mesh will unravel, unless you are a good sewer and can sew the edging back on.

I didn't have to shorten it, but the directions from the manufacturer says it can be cut. I would think an electric saw would work.
