I know that many drivers have Abloy locks. I lost a key and need a replacement. Is it possible? I want to explore all the options before I buy a new lock...

Our company supplies them and for some they can cut new keys.

These folks might be able to help but it might be costly https://securitysnobs.com/Abloy-Cut-Key.html

I don't know Andrey. I have three of them, but I've never lost a key or had a spare one made.

This might be an example of having a spare key hidden on the outside of the truck, the same as a spare ignition or door key wired somewhere for emergency use. Maybe we should all start doing this for our securement locks, too?

I have a spare key outside in a magnetic box, in a small ziplock bag with some motor oil inside, but this padlock is different - I got it with the truck, and there was only one key. I asked at Home Depot, they couldn't make a spare. I should have asked a locksmith, but never did it... my bad. If the boss doesn't have a spare or our locksmith cannot make a new key, I'll have to buy a new lock.

I hope you can come up with another key because those locks are expensive!

Thank you! Blanks at $10 is a reasonable price. I need to find out whether a locksmith can use it for my lock.

I don't know exactly how this works but I once had a locksmith make a key for me based on the lock's code (I bought a utility box that the seller had lost the keys for) and they charged a slightly higher price but not really crazy ($15?). He told me that only bonded locksmiths could do that kind of service.

Never heard of em, so I googled em lol DANNNNG ! Them are expensive padlocks! I'll srick with my heavy duty master locks, got plenty of em, then 3 of those round kinda locks....

Youtube guy "Locksmith" he has videos watched 3 or 4 of em how he picks those Finnish locks, different model #s they have 10 discs and with fake slots eh took him all of 5 minutes to pick it then gutted it all out, disc by disc... Acrually was pretty cool to watch lol But a good couple blows on lots of locks does the trick....Most padlocks have a tiny hole somewhere too for picking? I forget.....

Not a thief so don't need to know lol, only how to get back in my truck, after locking the keys inside (don't ask.....YEAH on the fuel Island ) hahaha Had to go in and buy their $32 lock pick set, all mine are at home.....NOW, I puit the extra in my pocket, that won't happen twice!

Years ago bought me a master lock pick set with american and euro/asia picks off the Mac tool truck, prolly around 100 different key profiles.....

Stevo, these locks are super hard. My guess is that it works best against people with bolt-cutters, not the ones who have skills to pick an Abloy. I personally tried to cut it, not even a scratch :-)
