ABUS80TI/50 KD Titalium Aluminum Alloy Padlock Keyed Different

Good construction

Great luck great price really cool unique key way wonderful to pick up for Lockport at only 20 bucks 6 pins all spool pins just really fun puzzle cool lock all the way around very lovely functions very smooth keys are cut well and are nice keys in general and it's a pretty hefty lock I mean it's the light because of the material it's made from but it's very big one but much larger than your average padlock definitely at this price point.. it's about the size that everybody wants a lock to be

Solid lock. Heavy. Smooth key insert.

This Abus 80ti/50 is a solid made, smooth operating lock. The body is a titanium/aluminum alloy with a hardened steel shackle. It is designed to be weather resistant and operate in conditions where you might otherwise use a brass padlock. The lock contains security pins to make it pick resistant but it is worth noting that the lock is susceptible to a shim attack. This lock will, however, stop most would-be thiefs as very few are going to bother trying to shim the lock. It is ideally suited for medium security applications.For the lock sport enthusiast, this is a green belt lock. It contains a combination of serrated and spool pins and has very tight machine trolerances. This lock gives great feedback and is a fun, challenging pick.

(April 5, 2019)This review will be short, since I've only been using this lock for a couple days now.Purchased this to replace a rusted out lock I was using to secure my power box outside of the house. Lock is under an overhang, exposed to the lovely weather we get here in Florida. I do not expect to be opening the lock anytime soon, so for the most part, it’s just going to be sitting out there doing its thing. Will post an update to this review at a later time, maybe around fall. That should have been long enough to have been dealt some interesting weather conditions.(May 2020)Locks have been outside for over a year and they still open just fine with a key. No noticeable surface rust that I can see. There was some odd white crusty stuff near the drain hole, but that was probably mineral build up from rain/roof run off water.Overall, I'm impressed by the lock’s durability. That said, I'm aware of the reviews pointing out the locks can be easily shimmed. Frankly, A LOT locks have the same issue. I am not using this lock to protect anything of value, so I accept the risk of the locks being hackable versus the risk of some "genius" opening out my outside electrical junction box, and electrocuting himself. If said "genius" shims the lock and begins to mess with the box, then that's on them, I did my due diligence by securing the box from unauthorized access.

The mechanisms on this lock are so smooth and easy. It's a GREAT lock.

Abus is more costly than big box choices, but it is superior in every way. Keys are even nicer than master lock. Abus makes a consistently great product.

I chose this lock after watching a couple videos going through the different levels of locks and showing which ones were best in security. This lock was a nice mid-range one, not easy to break into without costing too much. The shackle is really thick - much thicker than the average Master lock (which I know are usually a poor example since they're so easy to break into). It wasn't too thick, though; I was still able to fit it through my storage unit lock. It also has a nice heft to it; it doesn't feel like it will break easily. Plus, it was a good price - while the $100 lock will probably be more secure, I feel confident in leaving my stuff protected by this lock. Plus, with Master locks on a lot of the other storage units, I feel like a burglar would go for the easier prey than trying to break into this lock.I'm not a locksmith so I can't attest to how easy or how difficult it is to break into this lock, but I can tell you that it has a long, six-pin key that should be more difficult for someone to pick. Overall I think it's a good choice.
