Interesting German locks

Postby thertel » 25 Nov 2004 23:57

Well I have a friend who is going to be flying back to the USA in the next month from germany and since he has lots of carry on and suitcase room he offered to pick me up some locks. So the question is what should I have him get me? I'm looking for intermediate to rediculously hard locks in dimple, pin tumbler, disc lock, and just about anything else. Any suggestions would be welcome, but please post a little about the locks too. Thanks in advance.

I think Abus profile cylinders are something typical German. You can find them in nearly every hardware shop and at many doors.
I cannot recommend anything specific here but I've noticed that Abus prints a "security level rating" on the package so it should be easy for your friend to find something from intermediate to "ridiculously hard". ;)

abus locks are very common. their standard and extra eurcylinders are not too hard imho. get maximum security stuff if you want a challenge

on the site of abus you can see how a lot of their locks are designed, so you can tell him pretty well what exactly you need

Was hoping for some off the wall crazy hard locks, that Wachter looks awesome, I'm gonna ask him to grab one of those. He got me an abloy eurocylinder as wellas some generic dimple locks. I'm really still just looking for suggestions on some very unique high security locks.
