Which keyway you like?
brand? American.. NOT Master.
--Shiva--
Mostly common keyways. I need multi-cylinder, too. I had an ABUS 83/KnK/45 set up for UE Keyway-works good. I'm Thinking American, too.
Did'nt Master take over American? Or merge?
Abus is good too..they are also high on my list..
and I HOPE that Master didnt take them over..

I don't think they did. But this guy I know does alot of purchasing for them-and said that they were selling American Locks as well-ABUS too. I like the ABUS, too. I've had one on a locker opened every day for 5 years and still going good-Not showing a bit of wear in the operation.
Remember Federal?

well..can the 'public' buy direct? Schools and big organizations can, but 'joe blow' on the street? but, some of the bigger shops will do retail..
Thats why master is not high on my list.. STILL wish they made the one use trailer locks tho, could sell a ton of them..

re-keyable, ABUS & American
my2¢
I'm afraid it's true:

Time to buy, buy, buy-LOL
Thanks you guys, for your input on this. Truth be revealed I prefer the ABUS or American. I've also had some requests for a shrouded shackle-Have'nt seen one in Multi-Cylinder. I'll keep looking.
Next time I see Bob I will get him to talk.-LOL

Shrouded shackle that accepts KIK cylinders at the link. BBE.
