For the readers who've never heard of this brand Abloy let me share my little story. Abloy is derived from the Finnish of Assa Abloy. FYI, Yale also is a subsidiary of this ASSA Abloy. Abloy padlocks are some of the most reliable padlocks in the world, and are highly resistant to wear, dirt, moisture, corrosion and freezing. But in Malaysia's it is difficult to find except at TNB substation houses if you guys noticed they use this padlock brand to secure the building and premises.

One of the factor Abloy not popular in among Malaysia user is because of their expensive price. Price range RM150 to RM300 depend on size and model. But for me it is acceptable for those who secure their high value building and properties for long term period. Abloy was built by solid iron grade 4 padlock ... the shackle material is made by Boron. You guys can google what is Boron..This has made the Abloy padlock the choice of many governments and organizations around the world.

What is the different Abloy padlock with others brands out there is the unique Protect key which is cannot duplicate at general locksmith shop. No dealer other than the dealer who originally issued the keys (or the factory can cut more keys.

The padlock weight is quiet heavy around 600 gm. Unlike most padlocks, Abloy padlocks do not contain springs or parts which could jam.

So for riders out there I can recommend this padlock for long term investment.
