This padlock has a reputation for being oddly tough. It doesn't use any security pins or trick features, just very good machining and some of the most difficult bittings I have seen in an off the shelf lock.
Internally the lock's design is similar to American Lock's common design and ABUS' 83 series. A standard Schlage Key-in-knob cylinder is fitted with a tail piece that interacts with a cam very reminiscent of American Lock and a retaining cover similar to ABUS's KIK adapter for the 83 series.
Despite the seemingly simple and low challenge design the quality of workmanship and the keyway combine to make these locks a solid challenge for a very low price.
