Careful, that listing is only for ONE lock (BLUE). American Locks are hard to find on Amazon.ca. Amazon.com (US) has them for $10 each and ships to Canada (or if near the border, find a friend to ship to and pick up):

I use this for lockers and this for my storage unit.

Today I ordered a couple locks from Amazon that are pretty cheap. The Abus 80TI/50 (green belt) is $13.11 right now.

I also ordered an American 1106 (blue belt) for $9.87

I wanted to get a few locks that are progressively harder to practice on and learn more about security pins, found good prices on these and couldn't pass them up.

For the Abus 64TI/50, I use the Peterson .040 pry bar and Peterson hook 1 in .018. Once you've picked it a few times and know the binding order, the lock becomes pretty easy to pick consistently.

The Master Lock 570 is a challenging lock due to the dead core. I recommend working your way up to this lock. The Master Lock 140, Brinks 40mm (non-brass), and Abus 55/40. For these locks I use Sparrows' BOK tension and Peterson hook 1 in .025.

Once you've got these down, you can step up to the Paclock 90A, Master Lock 410, and American 1100. For these locks I'll use the previously mentioned Peterson hook 1 in .018, Peterson hook 7 in .018, the previously mentioned Peterson .040 pry bar, and the Peterson .050 pry bar.

Good luck!

That makes no sense - they come in original packaging, and have the serrated key pins, the fully serrated driver pins, and spools. The bitting however is just plain terrible. Not sure how it would be counterfeit.

Pick the American 1100 for a blue belt. Amazon has it in yellow for $9.68. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015MG09E8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_evtJzb30VMHB0

If someone really wants to get in, they will. Lockers don’t hold big enough shackles for you to have much physical resistance, and someone could just break the cheap locker door or hinges regardless.

That being said, I agree with u/stab_in_the_eye. American 1100s are light, decently strong, impressively cheap, and will take some time and decent skill to pick (not astroturfing). They can be bought here, and this color (Master Lock Influence, priced by color) is currently on sale for some reason.

EDIT: Also, if you don’t think the longer shackle on the 1106 will fit, this one has a shorter shackle, but is (Master Lock!) priced... higher?

u/AWESOM3e92 · 1 pointr/ar15

Running 1/4" shackle. I recommend getting 1" - 1.5" shackle length. Bought American Lock from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/American-Lock-A1106YLW-Padlock-Aluminum/dp/B015MG09E8/ref=sr_1_1?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1510819926&sr=1-1&keywords=american+lock

Had them all re-keyed so I just need 1 key so I didn't need to carry multiple keys to open one case.
