[1398] A Padlock I’d Use: Abus Granit 37RK/80 (Pick & Gut)

[stephengoldberg]

I used one of these on a uhaul for a cross country move. The trailer WAS broken into but the lock wasn’t the weakest link, in fact the thieves clearly spent a LOT of time trying to break through the lock but ultimately found that breaking the metal on the uhaul itself was easier. This lock is an absolute beast.

I imagine the Abus guys cheering in their office when one of them finds this video. "A Padlock I'd Use" from LPL has got to be one of the highest praises a lock can get.

[Bbeaucha]

I feel like whenever a lock manufacturer gets the LPL seal of approval, the whole office goes nuts. They set off confetti cannons, Sheryl from accounting kisses the mailboy randomly, engineering team is hugging each other while sobbing with joy, the CEO closes his office door leans back and let's out a sigh of relief.

Title itself is one of the biggest praises that you could've ever gained as a lock company

[saltycycling]

A friend had this on his shed as it stored a few valuable bicycles. The thieves tried picking and cutting the padlock but eventually found it was easier to lift the entire roof of the shed and grab the loot.

[tozzasque]

In a safe environment, with all the right tool available, with no pressure, and already knowing what is the best way to open it, it takes an incredibly amount of effort from him!
Unbelievable!

[someoneudontknow]

When even the lock picking lawyer would use the lock you know the lock is pickproof to any regular mortal

[ilombra]

The video duration alone is a ringing endorsement of this lock. Well done Abus.

[thelickpolice]

Just to be clear: kryptonite locks that many locksmiths just say aren't pickable and grind them with an angle grinder take him 20 seconds to open with this tool

[lawlblogger]

the fact it takes an expert special custom tools and several minutes shows how well this lock was made

[_Stormfather]

"What doesn't come through in the video is the amount of skill that's required"

Trust me, with as long as it took you to pick it, that came through

[Bot]

"The disc detainer core is upgraded with a butterfly disc to prevent what I am about to do now." Nice try Abus. Still, pickresistant to mere mortals goes a long way.

[Timecop]

A long Lock Picking Lawyer video on a single lock? That's the lock you need!

[KuruGDI]

The lock package will probably have _"A Padlock I’d Use" - LPL_ printed on it in the future

[bigtxbullion]

We have sold dozens of these 80 and 60 models. Tenants love them. The removable shackles are awesome and the beefy design leaves no doubt it is simply one of the best available anywhere.

[Pay-No-Mind]

As far as marketing goes, praise from The LockPickingLawyer, especially him saying that it's a lock he'd use himself is a HUGE deal in my opinion.
At least with the customers / security professionals it matters.

[anothersortofleave]

Bosnian Bill has stepped away to deal with Family matters but LPL still credits him every time their pick appears. This speaks to integrity and I have noticed it and appreciate it.

This is the only channel I know where 99.99% of products reviewed are flawed. Once is a blue moon, comes this golden egg.

[greendryerlint]

The amount of time it took LPL to open this definitely illustrates the difference between a cheap disc-detainer core and a quality one with more discs and false gates. I'm sure even with the correct tool it would stymie a novice picker for a long time. Looks like Abus put some thought into this one and took feedback from pickers or at least picking videos when they engineered the core. I'm not sure if I have anything with a hasp good enough to hang a lock like this on.

[astrosteve]

What I love about this video is when LPL says "This has a butterfly disc so it can't be picked with a tool like this. Now I'm going to pick it with this tool anyway." Nice job!
