In this episode of Lock in the Wild, we take a close look at an ABUS 83/45 padlock fitted with a high-security BiLock cylinder that has been installed outdoors near a large body of water for more than 10 years.
This is a great real-world example of how a padlock holds up after years of exposure to the weather, moisture and a potentially corrosive environment.
We take a closer look at:
🔹 The condition of the ABUS 83/45 padlock after 10+ years outdoors
🔹 Corrosion and wear on the lock body
🔹 How the stainless steel shackle has held up
🔹 How the BiLock high-security locking system has performed
🔹 Why the keyway and cylinder can be important in harsh environments
🔹 What happens to a quality padlock after years of real-world use near water
Locks can look great when they are brand new, but the real test is how they perform after 5, 10 or even more years in the wild.
This ABUS and BiLock combination has been exposed to the elements for more than a decade. So, how well has it survived?
Watch the video and take a close look at a genuine Lock in the Wild.
