The "lightest" lock on the "Gold" list is the Kryptonite New York lock, at four pounds. Many of the other "Gold" level locks weigh five, six, eight, and even ten pounds. Yikes.
That Magnum UL1 that earned a "Gold" is the much cheaper brother of the OnGuard Brute. It is probably the cheapest lock on the "Gold" list, but seems hard to find outside of the United Kingdom.
