ABUS Padlocks

Generally speaking we regard ABUS as the leading padlock manufacturer. They don't have the best marketing, nor packaging, but they do manufacturer the best padlocks and to the highest standard. In fact they're one of very few who still manufacture a lot of their locks in Europe whilst the majority of other brands have moved their production to non owned Chinese factories.

The result of ABUS is a product that more reliable, rusts less and is significantly stronger. We've been to the ABUS factories on a few occasions and every time we're staggered by the engineering best practices.

Below are various categories of ABUS locks starting with their Brass range:

FAQs

Yes. ABUS have multiple factories in Germany and they continue to make their locks there. The working standards are really very high. Just look at the YouTube videos we have done from the ABUS factories and you can see the standards there.

In many chases other brands have begun using non owned factories in China which means many different brands are made in the same factory. This doesn't help with quality control nor innovation. You're just buying a brand and you'd don't know if they've been through quality control. Now this doesn't mean ABUS only use German factories but mostly they do and every lock is at least designed in Germany, not just a relabeled Chinese product.

Generally speaking two things make a lock strong. The strength of the metal and the difficultly level required to pick it.

Strength: Padlocks are generally made using hardened steel. It is a delicate process to make the steel strong enough to withstand a saw or bolt cutters, but not too strong that it becomes brittle. This fine line really is important and we find that many other brands don't have the same level of consistency in their hardening process. ABUS grades their hardened steel very highly and so you can test 10 of the same lock and they all come out with the same result.

Picking: The ease of which a lock can be picked depends on tolerances. If the engineering is exceptional then it is almost impossible to pick a lock unless you're trained as a master locksmith. For locks not made to the same standard then the ability to align the pins in the key-way becomes much easier! Needless to say the tolerances in ABUS locks are the highest in the industry, perhaps similar to Abloy.

All padlocks are designed for a specific purpose. Indoor, outdoor and marine grade (for salt water). However, generally speaking we have found that the Abus locks last longer outdoors than other brands of lock, which tend to begin rusting sooner. As you walk around take a look at the the locks you see. Generally speaking you'll notice that the ABUS branded locks tended to be in good condition without signs of rust compared to others. This is because of the coatings they use and the high grade of stainless steel in the mechanisms.

For marine environments which salt water is present then we tend to only recommend ABUS.
