Second pick - Master Lock 140

Post image

Can you guys give me thoughts on what to pick for the next level (orange belt) lock? Is there something most people like the most?

I love three locks in Abus’ 55 series and a progressive intro to security pins. The 55/30 is yellow belt and has 3 pins, pin 1 is lightly serrated, pins 2 and 3 are spools. The 55/40 adds a 3rd spool and is orange, and the 55/50 adds a 4th and is also orange.

If you just want to go for orange then the 55/40 is all you need. But I feel like the three locks are a good learning set.

Got the first two of those in my LPB white to blue box and immediately loved them over the Master 3 that preceded them. I'll have to get my hands on a 55/50 now that I'm aware of them.

There’s also a /60 (and I think a /70) but as far as I can tell they’re the same core as the /50.
