Review on ABUS 55 40 Padlock Different by Mikey Shook

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Some good news and bad news

First the bad news. I bought this in August to protect a wildlife cam in my backyard. A few weeks later there was a noticeable amount of rust on the shackle and lock, although he claims it is an "all weather" lock. It got so badly rusted/rusted last week that I couldn't get the key in. I live in Florida so the most extreme weather besides the heat was the reclaimed water from my sprinkler systems. And now the good news. I am contacting ABUS because I missed the Revain return window by a few days. The ABUS support was fantastic. She totally understood my concerns and sent me a brand new lock for free (including some extra freebies for my concerns). I've seen other companies ask you to return a defective product or have you pay for shipping again. Not with ABUS. I really enjoyed that. I can't recommend using this lock outdoors in inclement weather (let alone "all weather" conditions), but I will say it opens easily and seems secure enough. However, I would recommend one of their other locks that has worked well in the same conditions on another trail camera: the ABUS 70IB/45 KD Blue all-weather, rugged brass body with guard and stainless steel shackle.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
