Testing Abloy padlock PL350

[@geezer2005]

After all that, he found the key....typical!!!

[@davidlanham99]

I know for a fact that H.K. Porter 42-inch bolt cutters will only put the tiniest scratch on the shackle, and that's after the jaws have begun to deform and the handles are on the verge of breaking. And the scratch was practically insignificant, hardly noticeable. I've seen people try to cut one with bolt cutters on 3 diff occasions; you cannot tell them that it won't work lol, they have to try anyway.

[@marcsellgren]

Nice padlock, but what really caught my eyes was the Heuer Front. Excellent vice.

[@lashlarue7924]

Well, as long as they treat her well the relative harm in having that one get stolen isn't that bad really. Maybe just buy a cheapo Master Lock and let the first locksmith to pick it open have the prize ;-).

[@michaelthomas3105]

My son tried to cut my Abloy padlock when I lost the key. The jaws broke on my expensive pair of 30 inch Record bolt cutters. It wasn't this model & the shackle was about 10mm diameter, but Abloy padlocks must be about the best you can get. A 5 inch mains angle grinder finally cut it, but as far as I'm aware angle grinders will cut almost any. My bolt cutters had a 1/4 inch chunk taken out of the jaws, so the padlock ruined them. Bit of a shame that my son is very strong & had one end of the bolt cutter handle against the ground for leverage, or the bolt cutters might have survived. Some padlock.

[@michaelthomas3105]

It seems the most expensive bolt cutters, like Kren 49 inch ones, probably might cut a 10 mm shackle on an Abloy lock, but they might not cut a 14 or 15mm Abloy shackle.I'd not risk ruining bolt cutters again unless they were cheap "throw away" bolt cutters, though Record is not an inexpensive brand & pretty good for most tools. Kren bolt cutters have little cutting edges than can be replaced, not the entire jaws.

Easier with a hand-held cordless angle grinder.

[@gyrene1966]

Having a 341 Abloy padlock on shed guarding worthless yard tools has been doing just that, just realized key's been lost however. Could a grinder sporting a diamond wheel cut the shackle, tnx

[@tiborkolb377]

All this is beautiful. But now this days you can buy cordless angle grinder. I wonder how long does it take to break this padlock. ?

[@nicholasoas9282]

It might take a long time the shackle is real tough boron i have it so i can feel how hard is the shackle

[@eicydee3212]

It depends on how skilled the person is using a grinder (some people apply way too little pressure for fast cutting). And how powerful the grinder is. It may be possible to cut it off in like half a minute. This is just unavoidable with a steel lock, as any kind of steel - hardened, alloyed or not - can be cut with a grinder quite easily.

[@newhuskytwenty]

Yes, really tough padlock. I would trust on it.

[@bathshebahubber614]

Impressive. Very nice. Let's see how it performs against the .27 purple strip Ramset...

[@coolride88]

What is the hardness of the shackle? Can you test it with a hydraulic cutter?

[@tucstwo]

Sooo, when someone mangles the keyway and discs trying brute force attacks, you are now permanently locked out of whatever you put this lock on?

[@HallsteinI]

+TopherFM No you'd have to bring in welding equipment that's capable of reaching a temperature where you can actually cut through the bolt.

[@TutsTeach]

Can you test the PL321 ?

[@theresia_cs]

How if i lose the key ??

[@AlcatrazLocksmithPhoenix]

Now THAT'S a padlock!!

[@imyoursitdoesntmatterwhat478]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5rEgIacZ9iErq8 They are not breaking the lock right way.

[@u042]

If this lock is protecting a real value and the chain holds an attack, just grind it. The trick is, protect the lock from grinding by take out the space for the grinder to reach. The only way to do it. If the value is high enough of the protected item, it's done in a jiffy anyway with PROPER TOOLS. Time and space is the real key here. When locking a bike, place the lock high, that is lack of counterforce for the bolt cutter and a dangling lock is hard to get a real hands on job on. The real key: PLACEMENT and SPACE. Sometimes it is better to cut the object the chain attach to.There.

[@boohoow]

I agree with others in the comments. Test it with angle grinders and high quality 42"+ bolt cutters, and we as consumers are able to compare it to others on the market.

[@ticklishlawyer2]

How about Biltema angle grinder?

[@64akon]

useless

[@boohoow]

+Olivier Cauffopé If it's useless then why do they not test it? Other than that, this seems like a seriously strong lock. And some very serious testing.

Didn't you know? It works only on Biltema padlocks. What you need is an Abloy angle grinder.

[@tompamannen1022]

How many seconds will it hold against an angle grinder?

[@Whenclownsattack888]

No bolt cutter test? I would get this if it could survive some decent bolt cutters

[@-Turtl3_]

Exactly, I have seen a video where the shackle of the Abloy 342 lock got cutted by a high quality 900mm bolt cutter that costed about 300€

[@smokyislay]

Cutting torch is cheaper than 300 euro bolt cutters and works to any lock. Maybe it is just me but I don't really see a lot of point discussing about expensive tools needed to destroy the lock. If the lock is somewhere in less crowded place and the item you are protecting would pay the effort of getting 300 euro tools to access it then you need additional alarms and surveillance anyway.

[@Brute4rce1111]

I bet I could cut right through that thing with my cheap Chinese pair of 42" bolt cutters

[@Bialy_1]

@@Brute4rce1111 the problem is that the bolt cutters jaws need to be harder than the material they trying to cut, so from your description i would say that your cheap Chinese tool gonna fail miserably. Search on YT movie "Gerda Zircon 116 vs nożyce do cięcia prętów." its atempt to cut 6th grade padlock but i doubt this padlock shackle is made from much weaker material.

[@Brute4rce1111]

@@Bialy_1 I do agree that hardness does partly matter when we are talking about cutting tools, but in my experience, even though I have dented my 42 inch bolt cutters jaws, I was still able to "cut" the shackle. My theory behind this is that the jaws are only going to dent so far before they work hardened themselves to the cross section stress level involved in the cut. After that, the stress/strain of those competing alloys start to experience fractural toughness. And of course, the shackle being the harder metal, will fracture under the extreme narrowed force of the cutters head. It's kinda the same concept of a lead 223 bullet zipping through steel except the lead does not work hardened, it's simply the forces involved that really matter.

With these locks its easier to cut the metal around the lock than to break one, even a 1meter long crowbar will bend with 2 160lb people hanging from it. Dont ask me how I know this :)

[@imyoursitdoesntmatterwhat478]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5rEgIacZ9iErq8 They are not breaking the lock right way.

[@pacovl46]

Why was there no bolt cutter attack?!

[@pacovl46]

Well, for one thing a hacksaw operates in a different way. Just because a regular hacksaw can't get through it doesn't mean bolt cutters can't either. Take a tungsten carbide saw and the story will take a different turn. Take hydraulic bolt cutters and it will get through it. It takes about 13 tones of pressure, though.

[@jamienewman1488]

What about hydraulics perhaps a spreader like the firebrigade use

[@jammi__]

+JAMIE NEWMAN That's what the first test is about.

[@eicydee3212]

With such tools, one can break pretty much any lock. The first pull test in the video shows it breaks at about 90 kN (9 tons) of pulling force. Most hydraulic tools are much stronger than that. It may even be that some pretty primitive attacks could rip it off. I'm thinking of threading a Zylon rope through it - it is more stiff than a steel cable and a 10mm rope holds 14 tons, attaching a big piece of metal to it (like a 45 pound weight plate) and slamming it down to yank on the lock.

[@badkid73]

The PL350 cannot be cut with a 42 inch bolt cutter. Unless the user weighs 250 kilograms.

[@scorchedearth1451]

Simple violence will not do the job. Better use brains to find weaknesses. The disks in locks like these are held in place with a thick bottom plate, which is pushed in tight. In some locks this plate can be pulled out, so all lock parts fall out. You would have to make a pulley which locks into the locking disk, and then starts pulling. how well would this lock do under this attack?

[@L2M2K2]

The bottom “plate” in these beasts is a several millimetres thick threaded insert (with a small screw “hidden” behind one of the legs of the shackle to prevent one from unscrewing it while the lock is locked. So no luck on that end, either. (When open, and after removing the locking screw, the threaded insert is opened with the blunt end of the key... but unfortunately there is no Integrated screwdriver in the key to open the screw so there is still at least one thing they could do better for fully tool free disassembly for legitimate users ;-)

[@davids6533]

Will it stand up to a seriously professional picker like bosnianbill? I've seen lots of tough locks that were easily picked by a pro or a lucky thug. In my opinion, if it can be picked, all of that toughness is a waste of time and effort.

[@davids6533]

***** Okay, thanks. : )

[@seancunningham6324]

[@davids6533]

[@aleksinuutila2315]

Definitely cant pick this, because it has completely different kind of mechanism with those discs (is it 16 of them). I have seen a tool that was made to pick abloy locks though.

[@FoodOnCrack]

he said himself that he can't and does not know anyone who can pick protec2. And if someone knew how to pick protec 2 they would most likely not be some thief but rather a CIA guy or something in that direction. Protec2 is quite overkill for locking up your goods, most criminals are nutjobs and don't even bother picking because they don't know how. They just smash and destroy everything but the cylinder.

[@douro20]

The liquid nitrogen test ruined the cold chisel after less than a minute...

[@ztefan3147]

I want that job :-)

[@cyberpunk004]

lets not forget the gas cutoff saw, pretty sure thats not in any official test and considering that its not really a quiet tool in any sense, esp with 5-7.5 hp of 2 cycle engine,its still regarded as the universal key for one time use. stealth=0 however, unless in the proper outfit and gear though:)

[@wb5mgr]

I noticed that nobody ever attacked it with heat... Not many blokes are walking around with liquid N2 but lots of folks have small portable oxy-acetylene cutting rigs... Even if you could just heat a section of the shackle enough to ruin the temper so it could easily be cut. Also, I might point out that the chain or shackle has to be just as indestructible or the lock is no good.

[@eicydee3212]

Sure, no lock is indestructible. Attacking it with heat usually takes time, however, unless one brings uncommon tools like a portable induction heater. And it's conspicuous. For Abloy cylinder locks (I don't know if they also fit the padlocks - probably not) there are even special carbide tipped milling bits. With a powerful cordless drill, they can drill open the lock in seconds: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5uXnqyIZ72fjcU
