Where and what Abus Diskus should I buy?

Information about locks themselves. Questions, tips and lock diagram information should be posted here.

Where and what Abus Diskus should I buy?

Postby WOT » 14 Apr 2008 4:27

I have a BRINKS Master M1 Diskus look-a-like padlock for my storage unit, but it's time for an upgrade.

Should I get the 20 series, or the 26 series?

Where would one look locally or do I have to get online? Abus site doesn't give me much info.

Take the 20 (ABUS Plus mechanism), I'm pretty sure no one will manipulate it, not even Jaakko, for he is probably too far away...

I'd vote 20 series.

Though, I think the ultimate storage lock is the S&G 0880. Sure, its easier to pick than the abus, since you could practically fit a small boy in the keyway, but it still is rotating disk, and it just screams too big for brute force.

Nice lock. But why don't they cover the mechanism properly? :shock:

:lol: Actually, a nice way to make a cutaway...
