Metal CB-6000 Clone
The metal CB-6000 clone earns a LockedCage Score of 5.5/10 with an 8/10 value rating but just 4/10 for build quality — consistent across 523 user reports. At 200g+ it weighs double the plastic CB-6000 (100g), and the non-hinged 3-piece ring design carries the same pinch risks as the original. Compared to the BON4M ($219, score 9.2/10) with its hinged ring, this is a $25-50 gamble best reserved for short-term testing before committing to premium steel.

LockedCage Score
5.5 / 10
Cheap entry to metal
Better than plastic
Highly variable
Often needs sanding
Inspect carefully
Verdict: Test Before Investing
Reasonable for testing metal chastity, but upgrade for serious wear.
Important Safety Notice
Budget metal cages vary dramatically in quality. Before use: Inspect all welds for completeness, sand any rough edges with 600-grit sandpaper, verify the lock mechanism functions smoothly, and perform a short test wear (1-2 hours) before extended use. Discontinue use immediately if you experience skin irritation.
What to Expect
The Upside
- Price: $25-50 vs $200+ for premium steel
- Metal experience: Test if steel chastity is for you
- Interchangeable: Often compatible with CB-X parts
- Weight: ~150-200g — noticeable but manageable
The Risks
- Inconsistent quality: Same listing, different batches
- Rough finish: Often needs DIY smoothing
- Questionable steel: May not be true 304/316
- Poor welds: Potential weak points
- No warranty: AliExpress returns are difficult
What Users Say
“Solid metal version of the classic CB-6000 design. Feels much more secure than the plastic original. For $35 on Amazon, it's a reasonable way to test if metal chastity is for you.”
“Way heavier than expected. The plastic CB-6000 is 100g; this thing is over 200g. You definitely feel the weight hanging. Takes getting used to.”
“Better security than the plastic original by far. No more worrying about cracking or breaking. The steel bars are solid and the lock feels real.”
“Same ring design as the original CB-X, which means the same pinching problems. The 3-piece ring still catches skin during installation. Wish they'd adopted a hinged design instead.”
Common Questions
Generally yes for short-term play, but quality varies dramatically. Some users report rough edges, incomplete welds, or questionable “stainless” claims. Inspect thoroughly before use and sand any rough spots.
304 is standard food-grade stainless. 316 is surgical grade with better corrosion resistance. Budget cages claim 304; premium cages like BON4M use 316. For occasional wear, 304 is adequate.
Prices range from $20-60 on Amazon, AliExpress, and eBay. Quality correlates with price — the cheapest options often have finish issues. Expect to spend $40-50 for acceptable quality.
Most use the classic CB-X 3-piece ring design, not hinged. This creates pinch points during installation. Some sellers offer hinged variants; verify before purchasing.
For testing metal chastity without major investment, clones are reasonable. For 24/7 long-term wear, save for BON4M or custom steel. The comfort and safety difference is significant.
