FAQ

AnchorHog is a heavy-duty security anchor that lets you lock down valuable items – like bikes, equipment, grills, or tools – directly to the ground or structural surfaces. It’s designed for both indoor and outdoor use, giving you a reliable anchor point wherever theft is a risk.

1. Mount the anchor
You install AnchorHog into concrete, asphalt, or another solid surface using bolts provided in the kit. The kit typically includes everything you need – anchor plate, bolts, padlock, cable, and installation instructions.

2. Attach your item using a cable or lock
Once installed, you thread a steel cable or lock through your item and secure it to the AnchorHog. This prevents someone from simply lifting or dragging away your gear.

3. Robust construction & theft resistance
AnchorHog is made from thick, heavy #12 gauge steel. Stainless steel, zinc plated and powder coated versions provide durability and corrosion resistance. Its interlocking or multi-piece design helps resist tampering or forced removal.

Maintenance or care is not necessary. There are no moving parts or components to insure security of your equipment.

AnchorHog is made of heavy #12 gauge material and will withstand the weight of an automobile.

Yes. We would recommend using the Stainless Steel model for longer life.

You can if you make sure that the bolts are not exposed from the underside of the trailer.

There is a certain amount of skill level necessary. You must use the recommended tools and follow the instructions as provided on the website and with each AnchorHog.

Make sure you are using a hammer drill and it is on the hammer position. Also make sure that you are using a a high quality 3/16″ masonry drill bit.

You never know what is under the surface of the concrete. Try to move the installation to another area.

Check to see if the hole is 3″ or deeper and all concrete dust is removed from the hole.

Here are the things to check:

1) Was a ³/₁₆” masonry drill bit used, per the installation instructions?
2) Was the hole drilled to a depth of 3″ or greater, per the installation instructions?
3) Was the hole free of dust and/or debris?

It is difficult to determine if the concrete material is the problem but here is a possible solution:

Follow the installation instructions as before but use a shorter anchor screw – ¹/₄” x 1³/₄” Hillman or Tapcon brand anchors. These can be purchased at any Lowe’s or Home Depot stores.

The holes are 3/8″ diameter. The shank diameter must be less than the 3/8″ diameter hole. It is best to use the largest shank diameter for max. security.

Certainly. The zinc plating will last a long time without showing signs of rust. If exposed to a harsh environment, you may want to select Stainless Steel.

All AnchorHogs are made of 12 gauge mild steel or stainless steel, formed to give the security of a heavy construction.
