Recommend me a padlock

[WOT]

I got myself a public storage unit. Since the door hardware isn't very strong, the lock doesn't need to be super resistant to brute force attack.

I considered a Abus Discus shaped Brinks padlock, but with the Master M1 keyway, it's hopelessly vulnerable to compromise by a bump key.

What lock offers protection that can't be cut with a pocket tool, resist bump key and a decent pick resistance?

How about the good old Brinks shrouded? It's relatively inexpensive. The average person will not pick it. And it's shrouded to prevent bolt cutters.

One more thing. In my opinion due to the tension needed to turn the shackle of the Brinks R70 disk padlock bumpkeys are not going to be a big threat.

How about a Abloy Disc lock? Most of us here has never been able to or tried to open many of those kind of locks.

why not get a real Abus Discus 24/70 instead of the Master No.40 clone or the Brinks R70 clone? It's $25 at my local locksmith's.

Is it anymore bump key resistant than the R70?

are you really that concerned about bumpkeys? i mean really.... you should know the likely way someone is going to break into a self-store is with bolt cutters that way they can hit as many units as possible and sit around messing with bumpkeys and locks...
i mean seriously, are you gonna play around with each lock for a period of time or just cut'em off in 1secs time... especially when you know time is the factor of jail or money

it's no contest... just get a lock that is difficult to cut off and if you are truly paranoid then get one of these and be done with it... but the bumpkey paranoia is just that paranoia, in a situation like this

[blake1803]

I tend to agree with UWSDWF. These Abloy padlocks will probably give you the best security for your dollar, at least in terms of picking/bumping resistance. I'm not sure how strong the locks are physically, though (for instance I don't know how they would hold up against something like bolt cutters or a Duckbill, etc)

[UWSDWF]

well the shrouded cannot get boltcutters on them and otherwise you gotta use a hacksaw or powertool to cut them off

[samfishers]

why don't you just use a normal padlock, they are only a few people that can pick locks. a normal robber, would just cut it destroy the door

For you samfishers I have these words of wisdom. Just cause you ain't paranoid don't mean they ain't out to get you.

Haha, I like that freakparade.

words I live by.

Why not just a Brinks Shrouded Padlock? Inexpensive, difficult to pick, and even more difficult to cut/break.

why not get a nice cheap lever padlock. no bumping there and it should hold up well to any kind of DE.
