Abstract: A folding lock includes a lock body having a latching mechanism, a jointed bar hoop having a plurality of jointed bars pivotably connected to one another, and a closing bar. A first end of the jointed bar hoop is permanently fastened to the lock body. The closing bar forms a free second end of the jointed bar hoop. The closing bar can be latched to the lock body by the latching mechanism. The lock body includes an alarm device for outputting an alarm signal. The closing bar can selectively be latched to the lock body in a first closing position or in a second closing position, with the alarm device not being able to be activated when the closing bar adopts the first closing position and with the alarm device being able to be activated or being activated when the closing bar adopts the second closing position.
