The ABUS 88 Series PLUS Padlock (50mm) is designed for professionals and security-conscious homeowners who require a high-grade, resilient locking solution for outdoor or high-risk environments. It offers an exceptional level of defense against physical attacks thanks to its hardened alloy steel shackle and disk cylinder technology, though its specialized nature means it is heavier and more complex than a standard residential padlock.

No, the ABUS PLUS cylinder is a high-precision component that requires specific tools and expertise; it should only be rekeyed by a professional locksmith.
It is highly corrosion-resistant and suitable for outdoor use, but like all mechanical locks, it is not strictly waterproof and should be shielded from extreme elements when possible.
The ball bearings lock the shackle at both ends, preventing it from being twisted or levered open even if the shackle is cut.
Use the code card provided with your purchase to order replacements through an authorized ABUS dealer or a qualified locksmith.
ABUS stands by their products for manufacturing defects. Check the specific warranty terms included in your packaging documentation.
No, 50mm refers to the width of the lock body itself.
Ensure you are using the correct original key. If the cylinder is stiff, apply a small amount of graphite or specialized lock lubricant.
Check the shackle for debris or physical damage. Ensure the internal ball bearings are not obstructed by dirt.
Consult a local locksmith to see if they can impression the lock, though note that without the code card, duplicating PLUS keys is significantly more difficult.
To ensure optimal longevity, store your code card in a secure, private location, as this is required for authorized key duplication. When installing, ensure the padlock has sufficient clearance so that the shackle is not under constant tension or stress. Clean the lock body periodically with a soft, dry cloth. If the cylinder becomes stiff, use an approved lock lubricant—avoid using oils that can attract dust and grime into the precision disc mechanism. For rekeying, always contact a certified locksmith experienced with ABUS PLUS cylinder systems.
