The ABUS Diskus 28 series lock is a special kind of padlock with some distinct advantages. The disk shape itself effectively combats the most common ways of forcing it open. The design with only a small opening in the shackle makes it very difficult to tamper with. As these locks are mainly made of stainless steel, they are used especially where both security and protection against corrosion are required. The 28 lock is used to secure doors, gates, cabinets, barns, cellars, etc. The lock can be retrofitted with an ABUS-Plus disk cylinder which provides highest protection against intelligent opening methods. ABUS Diskus padlock series range includes many different sizes, shapes, shackles, and other additions.
