Great review! I LOVE the 90/50 - virtually the perfect balance between external hardness and internal complexity. I especially like the ability to re-pin the lock. I'll buy some on my next trip over, pin them with "super" security pins, and offer them up for challenge. Good fun.
Very Nice Video Adrian. I can't believe I've not seen it before. Keep up the great work. Nick.
I will check that out tomorrow mate thanks for the info :)
I totally agree! There is nothing better then a padlock with a ball bearing locking mechanism.
Thanks mate, yeah I like that option too
Great video, thank you! I think the hole in the core may be for a ball bearing to fit in (anti-drilling protection) like you find on higher security locks. I'm not sure though, just a guess.
Hey man, I also thought about that option before and you may just be right with that guess! Best wishes, Adrian
That could be it mate. I will check that tomorrow and let you know!
I had exactly the same idea on the material but without exact approval we will probably never know :)
But I agree with you.
Well I haven't seen them in the local store. I'm gone let you know as soon as I place the order. Noted ;)
Hi Adrian. Thanks for the video. Did you ever find out what the "ZE" stands for?
The "500" on the hull of the cylinder denotes the keyway. 300 is for Schlage C keyway, and 200 is for the Kwikset KW1 keyway.
+Cryptopolis Hey Crypto, thanks for the information on the keyway man! We have so many different numbers for keyways here that it is hard to tell sometimes... I don't know what ZE stands for yet but thanks for remindin me I should ask about that in my next mail to Abus! Best wishes, Adrian
It is one of my favourite Abus padlocks I have to say and I do not have it any longer :P
Is the side hole big enough to allow a pin to fall into it? I believe that it is for if the lock is ever picked, a driver pin will fall into that hole and "lock" the cylinder from opening the lock. At this point it would have to be drilled or cut off. Quite the interesting security feature.
i really want the 90/50 its my favorite padlock
yes the lock is very good
But that pin could not interact with the key or anything because there it doesn't go through the core to the key so there is no spring or anything. Or is there something I don't see? Thanks for the comment mate!
You can not buy them in a regular store here mate. I have to do a order soon and if you want to I can add one of those to my order. Just let me know!
The hole is for construction keying. The 83 series is what i think is under rated. You can remove the shackel and change it by turning the key. You can construction key it. You can rekey it or put a whole different core on it. And you can change it from key retaining to non key retaining.
Hey Smuckers, yeah on the series 83 that is correct. And yes the series is underrated! But on this one you can't. Interestingly there is a series 83 that is ONLY for the U.S. market and you can not buy it here, even if you are a big time customer. Same goes for the security lockout padlocks. They are simply not available here. On the other hand you can not buy the Abus Rock with the oval core in the U.S. you can only buy it here. Abus is VERY strict on that. I plan to sell European products to the U.S. in the future but I am not sure on how to do it the other way around.
I am sure there is someone with a milling machine making abus granit padlocks that accept oval cylinders. Thats not a huge loss for me because I have never seen or had a oval cylinder. Ruko padlocks are much harder to find. I dont understand why Abus feels the need to keep the markets separate. Dimple locks are also hard to find (in use) but easy to get for some reason.
I think the titalium 86 is the closest thing you have to the 83 series.
Btw you can shim the titalium series. The ones that don't have the ball barings you can shim.
Never tried but thanks for sharing! Best wishes, Adrian
Me too, Me Too!!
I believe the side hole is for construction keying. It allows you to use a small ball bearing in the pin stack that works with the contractor's key. When the end user begins to use the padlock, their key causes the ball bearing to fall into the core, rendering the construction key useless. I have seen a very similar feature on Sargent locks.

Check out page 13 of this PDF. It has a diagram that illustrates the principle.
CarsonReidDavis Hey Carson, that sounds logical to me! I think you are probably right. Thanks man! Adrian
there there to also stop bump there is a grove on the key for it
It's an Aluminium Titanium alloy, I would suspect from the pricing that unlike most of these TiAu alloys the majority of the material is Aliminium
Which model numbers do you mean jm?
the side hole is to add a pin it makes it near impossible to pick
titanium very easy destroyed galium. 20 minutes after use galium locks from titanium brake simple screw.
Hey foto, well galium does destroy titanium that is true! :)
The small one is a luggage lock. Why not use it to lock zippers on your suitcase?
Because you could still open the suitcase with the pen trick. Despite the fact that no suitcase is secure unless it is a peli case with solid padlocks, I would always recomment a decent suitcase with a TSA lock that is locked down in one position!
Nice Locks Adrian!
Und weißt du was die Buchstaben bedeuten?
LockPicking Nik Thanks Nik, Ich habe leider noch keine Ahnung was diese bedeuten aber werde es wohl irgendwann herausfinden!
Adrian Weber I knew that accent wasn't authentic...
Hey Paul, what shall I say? You caught me haha ;) nobody is perfect man! At least I can fool some Germans with it!
it is the closest to the original that I have heard, but something was off.
Paul MvN I'll take this as a compliment, much appreciated thanks man! Adrian
did you ever find out what the "ZE" stands for?
+zachary Allan Hey Zachary, not yet did you?
5 months went b y. did you contact abus or find out what the ZE means?
I actually did contact them but I did not receive an answer yet. But I am probably going to meet with Abus on the Security fair in Essen again and if I do not get an answer by then I will get one there I am sure!
The second smallest one is hard to spp
I can imagine that!
ball bearing locking all the way i have tired to smash one open with a sledge hammer no go.
My abus is said vh for some reason
Hey Harry, very interesting thanks for that input! Best wishes and stay healthy, Adrian
Those Abus locks are absolute crap. I bought a brand new abus titanium pad lock and locked my log splitter with it. Now I need to use the splitter and the lock wont open. It took me hours to open it. The aluminium had corroded. Junk.
Hey Drean, I totally agree! The cheaper Abus Locks are not as good as the more expensive ones made out of brass for example! Best wishes, Adrian
Well I'd say they have become cheap junk... There were not always.
Just melt it with mercury
Good idea ;)
@@AdrianWeber The Lock Picking Lawyer used gallium to destroy the big 80/50 lock. It took many hours, but was an interesting experiment.
These ARE shimmable.
+brian easton Hey Brian, thanks for your input man! Have you tried it? If it worked congrats! Best wishes, Adrian
have you verified this/?
Nope
+Silent but Descriptive I have shimmed the 80/50 that I own.
