ABUS 8355CSC Rock Through Closed Shackle Padlock

Just took delivery this afternoon. Top quality padlock. Beautifully machined and treated. Most secure well built padlock I have ever held. Silky smooth action. You can just tell this is going to last a long, long time. It gives me a lot of confidence it will protect. If someone wants to get into what you're securing, you get the feeling it will be from a weaker link in your security set up than compromising the integrity of this fine padlock . Got a really good deal from Amazon Warehouse at just over £27. RRP £70

Has been on my super strong 'beast sheds' shed for a month or 2 now, very strong, no issues with key opening or closing, as long as you're not heavy handed with the key/key mechanism in locking and unlocking and you maintain the lock with wd40 or equivalent then I don't see any issues arising, it'll happily sit there doing the job its meant to do.

These are very good padlocks, and provide, in my view, a high level of security, certainly against the opportunist type of thief. Someone armed with an angle grinder or pneumatic bolt cutters might be able to overcome them, but it would take time.I bought two of these padlocks at about the same time. I found that opening them meant that the key could not be removed from them without relocking them. Looking on line, I discovered that it had been made possible by Abus to change this by taking the guts out of the padlock body, and removing a tiny brass piece from the top of the mechanism.. I did this with one of my padlocks, and it solved the problem. However, when I did the same thing with the other one, it didn’t work. The key would still not come out of the padlock until I locked it again.It’s a minor problem, but irritating. I contacted Abus by e-mail asking for advice. I got a reply saying that they would respond to my query within a day or so.. That was more than a month ago, and i’m still waiting. It is for this reason - poor customer support- that I have downgraded my rating to 4 stars.

Solid lock. I'm using two to secure my garage, after a years use the lock mechanism is still smooth, a little rust here and there but nothing preventing the lock from working. Pricey, but worth it for the peace of mind
