Best is a job, not a star line

A 4.5 does not outrank a stated level 9, and a level 9 does not fit an 8 mm eye. Salt air points at the 70 mm 24IB, the best value when that marine line is the job. Drill and pull on the page points at the 26/70. The Plus cylinder points at the 20/70, the top pick. The round body slows bolt cutters and is not angle-grinder proof. Hinges and hasps stay on the shed and gate page.

Salt air: the 24IB/70

For salt air, the listing is the 24IB/70, B0001MQQQY, at about £36.00. The bullet states level 8, a 10 mm shackle and clearance of 17 mm by 20 mm, with a cover and harbour wording. The UK catalogue marks the 24IB marine Yes. It is about £13.65 under the 20/70. Skip it if the staple needs more than about 17 mm of height. The 4.3 from 715 ratings is shared with the smaller 24IB files.

A tight eye: the 50 mm

When the eye will only pass a slim shackle, the 70 mm discs are the wrong shape of best. The 24IB/50 has a 6.5 mm shackle and about 8 mm by 13 mm of clearance. B0001MQR0Y is about £26.68 on the shared 715-rating line. B0012IOCIK is about £27.37 with its own 4.4 from 459. If you want a star count that belongs to this body, the second ASIN is the cleaner record. Skip both if you need about 17 mm of height.

Higher attack claims: 26 or 20

Choose the 26/70, B000P5RS6Y, at about £43.77, when the page must say the cylinder is protected against drilling and pulling. It is stated level 8 and 4.4 from 90 ratings. Skip it on the coast if an all-stainless shackle was the point. Choose the 20/70 at about £49.65 when the ABUS-Plus cylinder is the requirement. It is stated level 9 and marine No. The 24IB and the 26 are compared on the 24IB or 26 page.

Who should skip the pick

Skip the 220/70 at about £19.60 if you came for drill-and-pull wording or a Plus cylinder. It is stated level 7. Skip the top pick if the gate faces the sea. Skip the 26/70 if the shackle must be stainless. Skip every 70 mm if the eye is 8 mm, and skip every disc here if the policy names a grade the listing does not state.

Common questions

Is the highest-rated listing the one to buy?
Only if the job is a 70 mm closed shackle at stated level 7 and about £20. That is the 220/70, at 4.5 from 135. It does not state drill and pull, and it is not the Plus cylinder. A higher star line on a smaller sample is a satisfaction note. It does not move the lock up the ABUS 1–10 scale, and it does not change the clearance.
Which listing for a beach hut?
The 24IB/70, B0001MQQQY, at about £36.00, if the staple accepts about 17 mm of height. The catalogue marks that series marine Yes. If the eye is only about 8 mm, drop to a 24IB/50 instead of forcing a 10 mm shackle. The 20/70 is marine No in the catalogue, even if a reviewer has used one near the coast.
Which listing states drill and pull?
The 26/70, B000P5RS6Y, at about £43.77. The bullet says the cylinder is protected against drilling and pulling. That wording is not on the 220 or the 24IB pages in this set. It is still stated level 8, the same house number as the 24IB/70, so the number alone will not tell them apart on a shelf.
Which listing has the Plus cylinder?
The 20/70, B000Y8LQWY, at about £49.65. The bullet names an ABUS-Plus disc cylinder and stated level 9. Read past the attribute that says Combination Lock. The included component is a key. Skip it for salt air, and skip it if 17 mm of clearance will not meet your staple.
When is the 50 mm the right best?
When the hole in the staple or the chain will not take an 8 mm or 10 mm shackle, and you still want the marine stainless line. B0001MQR0Y at about £26.68 shares its 715-rating line with larger 24IB pages. B0012IOCIK at about £27.37 has its own 459. Neither will close on a hasp that needs 17 mm of height.
Does a higher price mean a CEN grade?
No. The 20/70 is the dearest listing here, at about £49.65, and it does not state EN 12320 or Sold Secure. Retailer pages have called a 26 a CEN 3 lock. That claim is not on these ASINs. Home Security 7, 8 and 9 stay on the ABUS scale. Your policy is the document that names a grade, if it names one at all.
