    Going to be cycling into work a few days per week.
    Company provides a bike cage with unique swipe access.
    Obviously need to secure my bike while in there.
    What are the recommendations type/brand?
    Primary lock plus secondary lock for front wheel to frame?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kryptonite, Abus.

    More money tends to equal better lock. Don't go buying a 1000 euro bike and a 15 euro lock.

    More locks is more secure: U-lock and then a cable lock to secure wheels if they are quick release.

    If you can leave the lock in work (I do), you can afford to get something heavy and cumbersome.

    I would spend as much as you can afford. Don't bother with cable lock, unless it's to secure detachable wheels, saddles etc. I use an Abus City Chain when I'm out and about (rarely). http://road.cc/content/review/4450-abus-city-chain-x-plus-1060

    Kryptonite York Fahgettaboudit Mini Lock. Heavy lump of a thing but you could leave it in the cage...
