Best ABUS padlock

Updated: October 2026

A locker, a wet garden gate and a shed an insurer has asked about are three jobs, so one best ABUS padlock does not exist in this set. Name the job, then take the listing whose shackle, weather design and printed ABUS level match it. These picks use the seven amazon.co.uk ASINs, with prices from 19 October 2026. The full table is on the [ABUS padlock comparison](/hub/door-and-window-security/abus-padlock). The order of decisions is on the [ABUS padlock buying guide](/hub/door-and-window-security/abus-padlock/sub/abus-padlock-buying-guide). Peter F. compared the listings in October 2026, not in a lab.

Best everyday keyed lock under £10

If the job is a locker, toolbox or shutter at average risk, and the staple takes a short shackle, the 64TI/45 is the keyed lock to buy first. It is about £6.99, with a 7 mm hardened shackle, 24 mm of clear height and ABUS level 5 on the listing. The 4.5 from 4,131 reviews is shared with the high-shackle Titalium, so it is a family rating. Skip it in driving rain, or when the staple is deeper than 24 mm. The listing describes no cap. The 60/40 is cheaper, at about £6.75 and 4.5 from 186 reviews, and it prints neither a level nor a shackle diameter. It is not the best value once level 5 is the requirement.

Best of this set for rain

For a gate, shed door or chain in British weather, the 70IB/45 Aqua Safe is the top pick in this set. It is about £19, 4.6 from 1,173 reviews. The bullets give an 8 mm shackle, 24 mm of clear height, 20 mm of clear width, a cap, drainage and an encapsulated body. Water can still enter from the top, so the stars are not a waterproof claim. This listing does not print an ABUS level, though the 70IB/45 sheet says level 5. If the 20 mm clear width misses the staple, the rating does not matter. Move to the 83WP/63 when the risk is higher and the hole takes 11.5 mm. It is about £47.41 at ABUS level 9, 4.1 from 85 reviews. A key snapped in a new barrel. Hasps are on the shed and gate page.

Best when you need reach or a code

The 64TI/50HB80 is the pick when 24 mm will not reach. It is about £18.49, with an 8 mm shackle, 80 mm of clear height and ABUS level 6. It shares the 4.5 from 4,131 reviews with the 64TI/45. Skip it on a short hasp: the extra bar is leverage, and the listing states no cap. The 145/40 is the pick when the problem is a lost key. It is about £15.92, a four-digit code and ABUS level 4, at 4.2 from 472 reviews. Skip it outdoors. One report describes rust within two months, and a forgotten code is not recoverable. A closed-shackle 83-series lock sold elsewhere is not ASIN B004QXAIRM.

What these picks are not

None of these seven is a closed-shackle padlock, and none was confirmed as Sold Secure approved. If your schedule names a closed shackle, a 5-lever padlock or a CEN grade, check that paperwork rather than an ABUS digit. The 83WP/63’s level 9 is not CEN grade 6. A closed-shackle body such as an 83CS/70 is a different lock.

Common questions

What is the best ABUS padlock if I can name only one job?
Name the job, then the model. A short staple at average risk points to the 64TI/45 at about £6.99 and ABUS level 5, the best value. A wet gate points to the 70IB/45 at about £19, the top pick for rain. A deep staple points to the 64TI/50HB80. A gym locker with no key points to the 145/40. A hasp that takes 11.5 mm points to the 83WP/63.
Is the highest star rating the one for a shed?
The 70IB/45 has the highest stars here, 4.6 from 1,173, and it is the rain listing. Stars are not a shed certificate. Water can still enter from the top, and the amazon page does not print an ABUS level or a Sold Secure mark. The sheet says level 5. That number is not on the bullets, and it is not a BS EN 12320 grade.
Is the £6.75 brass lock the best value?
The 60/40 is the lowest price, at 4.5 from 186 reviews. It is not the best value when you need a printed level. The 64TI/45 is about 24p more, at about £6.99, and the listing prints ABUS level 5 and a 7 mm shackle. The 60/40 also drew a rust return after two days of rain.
When is the 83WP/63 worth more than the Aqua Safe?
When you need ABUS level 9, a coated hardened body, and a staple hole that accepts an 11.5 mm shackle. At about £47.41 and 4.1 from 85 reviews, it is a poor swap for a locker or a hasp the thick bar will not enter. A snapped key in a new barrel is already in the file. Level 9 is not CEN grade 6.
Which lock is for a gym locker with no key to lose?
The 145/40, at about £15.92, with a resettable four-digit code and ABUS level 4. Keep the code off the locker door. A forgotten code cannot be recovered. If you would rather label the lock and still use a key, the T65AL/40 can be written on and it locks when the shackle is pressed.
Can I call any of these the best closed-shackle padlock?
No. Every lock in this set has an open shackle. A closed-shackle 83-series variant sold elsewhere is not ASIN B004QXAIRM. If the policy or the police note asks for a closed shackle, this comparison does not supply it. Best here is the best match among these seven listings for a job you can name.
