Abus Vs Master Diskus'
Daniel D
they have a Master lock that resembles the Abus Diskus. My question
is, are there any differences between the two? (eg-pick resistance,
security, mushroom pins, durability...) and would it matter which I
choose to use?
Thanks,
Daniel D

Not to sound persnickity...
What the hell is a "shank"? ;)
Do you mean shackle?
Never heard that term before.

Abus Wins / Hands Down
All of the Abus stainless steel Diskus padlocks are made in
Germany with the latest high tech equipment designed by Abus
engineers. The stainless steel shells on every Diskus is at
least 50% thicker than any competitor. To compliment this, the
weld around the circumference is at least 50% deeper. This
results in pulling and torsion resistance that is 4 times
stronger than anything else on the market. For maximum security
choose the 20 series which also comes with a dust cover. The new
26 series now features drill protection over the keyway. The 28
series Buffo has almost the same strength as the 24 series at
just a little over half the price. The Diskus locks fit
perfectly on most self storage doors. Once on the door, they are
10 times harder to remove than anything else without the key.
20 SERIES
The 20 Series is the only Diskus padlock to feature the Abus Plus
Cylinder. The Plus Cylinder ensures key control as there are
only a handful of certified locksmiths that have our exclusive
plus key cutting machines.
Features of the 20 series include:
ISO 9002 certified production
Unique shackle design ensures protection from bolt cutters and
pry bars
Available keyed alike, keyed different, and master keyed
6 disc cylinder for over 30,000 possible key combinations
Hardened first disc prevents drilling of cylinder
Chrome Moly through hardened shackle
Lifetime Warranty on manufacturer defects
Stainless steel body and solid brass or copper internal parts
ensure lifetime rust resistance

I had a job of opening 5 Abus disk locks. I thought Hey easy job I can pick
them or drill them No Problem.
$40 for the service call
Priced each lock at
$5.00 to 8.00 each.
They are impossible to pick due to the warded pins.
When I tried to drill them Oh My Freaking God.
Abus has a dead locking feature on their Disk locks. Master does not. I
drilled out the lock expecting to turn the cylinder Ha ha ha OMG. The dead
lock feature would not allow the lock to turn. I had to cut them open down
the edge with a torch because of what these locks where on. I dumped out
most all of the locks guts and until I flipped the DL feature them bad boys
would not open.
On time alone I lost my butt, However, I learned a great lesson.

good choice Daniel
I say that because Abus is the "Best" Diskus Lock on the market.
Be sure and look into a 20 SERIES DISKUS
Diskus with Plus Cylinder....

I know that you are from Arkansas. Saw this on 60 Minutes a
few weeks back on ABSOLUTLY bizarre state laws. You may find this
interesting: apparently it is a felony to pronounce Arkansas as
"AR-KANSAS. Is this true?
It's on the books.
Billy, where are thowt? Is "shank" acceptable? Billy?
BILL-EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

post.
