Abus82Ti/70 Titalium Shutter Lock

This item arrived safe and well packaged.This is a lovely strong padlocks. It is clearly very well made and very strong. It seems to be quite durable too! It is a little on the expensive side though.I actually bought this as I needed to secure a storage container unit. I had taken several measurements and pictures, and this seemed to be able to do the job. However it actually didn't! My container has 2 locking positions and this fit into neither of them! The lock behind the secure plate would have been perfect if it weren't for 1 thing... the bar pulls out of the opposite end to the key. Which means it was not able to be slid into position due to the metal shrouding. Neither could the bar be pushed down through the locking hole.The second locking position is through a metal catch and into the handle. But the bar was unable to be pushed through this hole due to the main block hitting the bottom of the handle.I feel very disappointed as I had measured this all... but due to a silly design decision it didn't work! I am sure I will find another use for it, but purposely paid for a more expensive lock to try and secure my stored items. So I guess that's what has left me with a bitter taste.

ABUS 82TI/70 pictures above and drawing shows a square block lock 20mm across...WRONG! See the pic attached ,lock is oval, 16mm thick at the bolt loacation, and the shackle(bolt) is 12mm(very good by the way) leaving just 2mm each side to protect the shackle. 2mm!! Even a portable dremel would cut it. I dont know how hard titalium is, but 2mm with a cold chisel and normal hammer, 2 bangs and lock is off. I give it 3 stars ONLY for the hardened shackle and the name may deter some thieves , it is good for a toolbox or garden shed you keep worthless stuff in, especially if you use the cheapest hasp, and you not really bothered but fear a smaller lock will be cropped. I would file this as deterrent only. Abus take note if it was square like the drawing it would have not returned it!

In putting in an external grille to protect my side garage door, I needed a padlock that was cutter resistant.The appeared to fit the bill and on receipt, it fits perfectly and provides the security I need.It comes with two keys and self locks.The lock is from a respected manufacturer and is far less expensive than some others of its type, while retaining the nexessary level of security.Recommended.

Very well made although this company expect anything else ? Extremely strong and well made although very light from the Titalium it’s made from and the clasp is well protected from bolt cutters.Although it’s smaller then I imagined but does the job for me.

Great looking lightweight (175g) lock in the Titalium line from Abus.The lock operates easily with a satisfying click and can be locked without key.Security: physically the lock is on the more secure side with a 12mm hardened shackle and thick lock body. Key parts of the body are either very thick or are reinforced with a hardened steel bolt. The core is a 5 pin core with tight tolerances, giving it some resistance against lock picking attacks.However, the lock is shim-able (see attached photograph), but the tight tolerances on the shackle bolt mean that a shimming attack takes a minute or more to execute.Overall a good lock at a good price.
