Granit 37/80

This is an outrageous lock. Heavy and durable. It's got a great reputation out there, as the price would indicate. It is limited in that you can't put it through 2 chain links (if you can you wasted your money getting a crappy chain to pair with a great lock). So make sure that you get a chain where the links can go through other links. II did a lot of research into locks and chains after having my motorcycle stolen, and this lock was the one that kept popping up. I now have 2 of these combined with 2 Pragmasis boron steel chains. Having 2 locks and 12 feet of chain may sound crazy, but it's flexible to lock around anything and having 2 locks means if I can't open one then I have a second option to unlock (it's happened to me). This is an expensive lock, but it's makes for a good defense against thieves. Update after 9 years of ownership: I still use 2 of these to lock up a motorcycle on the streets of NY. That's about $14 a year, so far. The design of these locks is awesome. They lay on the ground, sometimes in the dirt when lock, and that means tons of dirt enter from rain. On the worst occasion I might have to jiggle they key to get the dirt out, and just recently the worst case required a couple cycles of hot water and compressed air to clean, but it's back in order. I had it freeze up in extremely cold weather (laying in snow and ice), and less than a minute with my cigar lighter resolves that. So, not only well-built and strong, it is also durable and long lasting, making it an economical purchse.

I ordered this lock used off of Amazon recently. I was in need of a higher security lock that could not be picked with the ease of a Master lock. The lock and all related items arrived in flawless condition. It comes with a card with the code to make new keys and two keys, one with an LED light on it. I was pretty skeptical about the light- usually they are pretty cheap affairs that only work for a little while. This key is very well thought out- the battery and LED can both be easily replaced if needed. Now on to the lock. "Granit" is a good name for it. Abus rigorously tests their locks according to the CEN standards and this lock rated CEN 5 on a scale where CEN 6 is as high as possible. Abus guarantees this lock to last 40 years in a marine environment as long as it is maintained every once in a while. This sucker is probably going to outlive me. The lock is substantially large and it looks like you could use it (and some creative lock placement) to keep somebody from stealing your Panzer it you had to park it in a bad neighborhood for an extended period of time. The lock was not as heavy as I was expecting, and the build quality is top-notch. It is very easy lock and unlock. Unlike many locks, both sides of the shackle come out when you open it. This little feature actually makes it far easier to put the lock on and take it off- you do not have a couple of pounds of steel awkwardly swinging around as you try to take it off and put it on. Slap the U-shackle through your chain or hasp, slide the lock body over it, turn the key 180 degrees and off you go. It is an operation that can easily be completed with one hand due to how well the parts fit together. The steel gate this lock is closing is probably now the the weakest point in the physical security that keeps people from bothering me or breaking in. In fact, if anybody does manage to get in by breaching this lock I will probably be more impressed than angry. I will be buying more of these in the future as needed.

Amazing super solid and cool looking lock. Just make sure to check the shackle diameter. It is beefy.

This lock is a BEAST! I purchased the lock and matching Abus chain as I have moved to a higher crime city. I have a $2K bike that I don’t want to lose and needed something to protect my investment. The lock is bombproof but very, very heavy. I wish I would have gotten the next smaller size Abus lock as it would still have done the job but saved a lot of weight (I’m also including the chain). When I can afford to I will get the next size down but will still hang onto this one and use it in another application. Be sure to keep in mind that the shackle on this lock is very thick and WILL NOT fit most storage units. Other than that this lock will be handed down through the generations as well as the inevitable nuclear holocaust..

Again A great Lock. but what are there in the world more than People ? Shipping Containers... and what do a lot of people use shipping containers for????? storage... and what do people need to secure their storage containers???? Strong Solid Locks that can't be defeated in less than 10 seconds!!!!! and so far i have tried 2 of these locks...1st an Abus a '37/80' which didn't even come close to fitting the 'holes' for the container's handles....this one is a '37/60' slightly smaller and fits perfectly except when you attempt to lock/close the hasp it won't allow the key to completely rotate which prevents the hasp from locking..... Mother-#@#%$&!!!! it's a God #$#%#! millimeter too wide to allow the hasp from fully closing... what a bummer... it would be so amazing as a security feature, simply by the way the lock fits into the hole at a perfect 90* angle. which would have made it even more impossible to cut with bolt cutters (which is why I'm fretting so God$%&*#%! much in the first place....) it is off by a 'millimeter' !!! and i hate the metric system!!! what do i do now? drill the hole wider? sure if i had a drill that large...or suffer the insecurity of knowing that i might be 'robbed' again? the company should have thought through this a long time ago. noting that containers are very popular having a well-locked container is a security feature that benefits everyone and designing locks that fit the standard size(s) holes in the containers would be the thing to do. i sure as heck would have thought of that if i owned an international lock company. otherwise, these are very fine locks... but i will never know, i won't be able to use them just yet..

Very strong padlock.

After days of research I've discovered this high quality German made ABUS 37RK80 padlock is by far the most bulletproof beast I will ever need, they were designed to lock the hatch on a tank! The body of the lock is made from high quality solid steel, the keyway is the most advanced design and 100% unpickable except by very few of the best lock smiths in the world, the shackle guard means bolt cutters can't touch it, this lock combined with a # 8 grade industrial chain will prevent any tools including cordless angle grinders from defeating this set up, if you value your bike as much as I value mine, get this lock.

Es un candado en extremo robusto. Las fotografías no le hacen justicia ni al tamaño ni al peso. Es el tipo de candado que desalienta a cualquier ladrón incluso de verlo. Vale cada peso.

This thing is a beast. High security disc core, heavy solid steel lock body, thick hardened steel shackle protected by a high shackle guard. Operating the lock is very smooth and satisfying. I love how the shackle fully detached from the lock body when unlocked.

Excelente, es imponente con solo mirarlo, de materiales sólidos. El peso y la calidad van de la mano, bastante costoso pero lo vale. Se desprende la parte de la argolla para fácil uso pero al cierre queda justo.
