ABUS160/50HB50 Weatherproof Resettable Chrome Combination Padlock, 4 Dial, with 2" Long Shackle

Very nice lock. We live in Houston, TX and the humidity is brutal. Just removed the lock after a few months to have our fence gate replaced and the lock is as new as the day I put it on the fence latch. It is easy to set the combination and the best part of setting the combination is that you do not need a special tool but only a flat head screwdriver. I would highly recommend this outdoor lock.Update: July 25th,2020. I have unlocked this outdoor lock at most two times in 4 years. Looks brand new and unlocked easily after almost 4 years in Houston, TX where the humidity and heat are brutal.

We built a fence on a remote field and wanted quick access to the gate, while keeping others away. This combination lock seemed to be the perfect answer, as we wouldn't need to worry about losing the key. My only regret is that the individual numbers on the lock are small and difficult to read. Because they're so small, it's challenging to move them, especially in cold weather. Before installing it, I sprayed the mechanism with silicone spray in the hopes of keeping them free moving and avoiding rust. I've only had it a couple of months, so it's too early to tell how this lock will perform long term.

The numbers turn well. Unlocks smoothly and reliably.

Excellent. Functions perfectly, but only expect no more than 5 years of daily use outside before they stop working...general corrosion. I have purchased several over the years. I will buy them again.

We have used several brands of all-weather padlocks for yard and jobsite gates. Most last about two or three years and the numbers get hard to read and often the shackle becomes difficult to pull out, despite applications of lock lube. The dust and sand takes a toll. One ABUS lock is five years old and looks and performs as new. I think any other brand of combination mechanical padlock is a waste of money.

We bought this lock for our Boy Scout Troop truck. I thought that the chrome finish might be more weather resistant than the prior lock we used. We prefer a combination lock as a number of our leaders have access to and use the truck. This lock was used to secure the rear roll-up door of the truck. We have only used the lock for a month or two. It wasn’t locked and unlocked more than a dozen times.This past week - we dialed in the combination on the lock, gave it a pull to open it and it just fell apart. All four of the rivets simply sheared off.

The finish on this lock is so mirrored, it reflects back to the street as the brightest object, advertising that there is a huge padlock on the gate. It was a clear day when I installed the lock so thankfully I had an old welding helmet so I could see to do the task. The lock function is great, too. Whenever we change pool companies, boom. We change the unlock sequence. Simple! Pretty sure the sun reflection off this lock is visible from space. I will check after the next Google satellite shots are updated.

Not weatherproof, good for indoors use only....
