Review: As expected, a quality lock that is easy to pin up. - As always for this line of Abus locks, the results are solid. The key way fits a Schlage C key as expected, and is easy to pin up. Open the lock with the included zero bitted key. Use a good fitting #2 Phillips screwdriver down the shackle hole to remove the core retention screw. This must be a good fit, as the screw is tight. When the core slides out, look for the little spacer that makes the lock key retaining, and note how it installs. (It is sort of a stretched out Z shape) if you do not want the lock to be key retaining, go ahead and remove it. While it usually stays on the top of the cylinder, it does occasionally stay up in the lock actuator. It can be left there until reassembly, if you want to keep the feature, just be careful that you don’t loose it if it falls out while handling the lock. To pin the cylinder, inset the zero bitted key in the cylinder if it is not already there. Rotate counter clockwise until it stops. There is a plunger on the side, at the back, which need a to be depressed to rotate another 90 degrees counter clockwise, while keeping the key facing up. This will expose all the lower pins through a side window without removing the core. You can dump out the zero pins, and replace with standard Schlage pins with lengths as normal for a Schlage core to fit your key. You can insert the key you are keying to, and ensure all pins are smooth to the surface of the core before turning back and confirming normal function. I believe the one I pulled the core on had spools in all but one position, which should make this core generally immune to raking and bump keys.
Review: Super strong and smooth as butter to operate - Before you buy, make sure you’re either up for rekeying it yourself or take it to a locksmith. The lock is quite heavy, feels very solid, and rekeyed easily. When you insert your Schlage key and turn, it goes in and turns so smoothly. I’ve had it stay outdoors and no problems so far. Very nice lock.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Is Master Lock Level Protection
*by M***R on December 26, 2025*

As a Peer-to-Peer Car Sharing Business Owner, when I would have to transport and then, stage a vehicle, I, very often have to leave my auto transport unattended. This prevents or decreases the likelihood of unscrupulous person/people form easily taking my very expensive trailer. A little difficult securing the lock, but that is one reason I bought these instead of other brands. Very durable lock and well worth the cost. I would highly recommend to other business owners who need extra security and peace of mind.
