Padlock reviews from Reddit

"Just ordered Abus 83/45 on Amazon for $30. Thank you for your help!"

"Abus 83/45 can be keyed to your house key (most commonly, Kwikset or Schlage) which is convenient for you."

"They are very well made disc detainers."

"Extremely unlikely anyone off the street is going to get past that."

"All 3 of these offer very tough locks."

"You can even get weather boots for them too!"

"High quality, hardened shackle and corrosion resistant."

"I used the Abus 72/40 for green and would heartily recommend it."

"You can get the ABUS 83WP/53 Weatherproof Padlock."

"Master Lock 140/141"

"Master lock M1…"

"Plain old round master combination locks have served me perfectly since 1985 or so when i got my first locker in middle school."

"Honestly I'd just go with a Master Lock 6721 with whatever commercial cylinder you want."

"Another vote for Master 140/141/142. And I'll add a few more options: Abus 64TI, Brinks brass padlock, Master V-Line 4140, Master 930, Master 527."

"I’ll just say you should get a master lock 140 since it’s good for the basics."

"The Master Lock 140 series is great to learn on."

"This is a master lock 141D and 140D. Basically the same lock other than the obvious. Equal difficulty."

"Another vote for the Master Lock 140D. And the 150 for orange belt."

"I have several and great locks for the price."

"An American lock 1100 series might work well."

"I agree with the American 1100 and Abus 72/40 recommendations."

"American 1100 is the best commercially available lock."

"For increased defense against picking you could try American Lock 1100, or any American Lock you like, or Master Lock Pro Series, which at this point is almost the same thing for this purpose."

"American 5200 is a great all around lock. It’s not going to break unless they have an angle grinder."

"American A1100 is good."

"Got an older American Lock 5200 for $20, but the look of a heavy security lock on toolboxes may also entice others to try and break into it."

"An American 1100 is probably the least expensive lock that puts up a pretty legitimate fight."

"I suggest American Lock padlocks, they aren't easy but they talk to you."

"This is originally a Brinks design from the old days when they actually made respectable locks, 6 pins, radical bitting and an American keyway loaded with spools and serrated, not an easy pick."
