ABUS Diskus Display

[GWiens2001]

Recently was given a display for Abus Diskus locks, but no locks on it. It would normally have four models of normal pin-tumbler versions of the Diskus lock on it. But why be normal? Already had two types, got another from PMaxey, and the final one from eBay. Here it is, and the locks on it.



"Normal" pin tumbler version:



Dimple version:



Abus Plus (disk detainer) version:



And finally, thanks and a big shout-out to PMaxey for this one, a Lever version:



So now I have a cool display thanks to my friend Bruce at the lock shop, PMaxey, and some other ones I had laying around.

Anyway, for those of you who did not know, there are, in fact, four styles of keying available for Abus Diskus.

Short, sweet, and full of pictures.

Very nice! Do you know how the lever diskus works? How does it's pick resistance compare with the others?

That is way better than having 4 standard ones! The lever one in particular is really cool.

How cool!
Never seen a abus plus discus before.

Those are some seriously cool locks! I think my favourites are the dimple one and the disk detainer one, but to have all four variants is pretty special.

Now, if only they would build a solid-body version, which would actually be as tough as they make them look...

An old Abus representative told me the original was a basic 2-lever lock.

Good bit of trivia. Thanks!
