Padlock options for cages

Abus has introduced a new 3-ounce padlock that is roughly the same dimensions as their Abus 65/20 model. It’s actually an Abus 64/20, so lightweight you barely notice it on your person. I was frustrated with my previous heavy lock that felt like it was dragging my cock downward. This new padlock fits any cage designed for padlocks. They are somewhat difficult to find; I had to wait several weeks before securing one. It’s unclear who is buying them up, causing frequent shortages in the stock. Perhaps men currently locked in chastity are acquiring most of them.

Also a note regarding the cabinet-style locks included with cages such as the Holy Trainer and similar models. The versions supplied with more budget-friendly cages tend to be poorly constructed. On day two of testing one on a new $50 cage, I inserted the key and turned it, but nothing occurred. The cylinder spun freely without engaging the mechanism that secures the lock in place. Fortunately, my ring was slightly larger than usual, allowing me with some pain and effort to free myself.

You can find an excellent alternative online for around $25, backed by a lifetime guarantee. I suspect most chastity cage owners aren’t using locks of that quality or price point. Since that frightening incident, I’ve stuck exclusively to cages equipped with padlocks, and the Abus model above is nearly weightless.

Several years back, I discovered a vendor on DH Gate selling clones of the higher-quality German-made barrel locks. I purchased four units with key-alike configuration just to be safe. The superior models feature drilled and set brass pins positioned over the tumblers. In contrast, the cheaper versions use a thin brass plate that is either stamped or swedged.

The ones that you get with the less expensive cages are cheaply made. The second day I wore one on a new $50 cage I was trying out, when I inserted the key and turned it, nothing happened. The cylinder was turning but no longer connected to the part that keeps the lock in place. I'm not entirely sure if you're indicating that genuine Holy Trainer locks have issues or just the counterfeit versions?

Basically, any Chinese cage utilizing brass barrel locks will likely include a subpar copy of the Burg Wachter locks.

I'm still using my old Master lock, which has been around for years. I don't know the exact weight, but it isn't particularly heavy. Last night, however, I had a dream where Mrs. Twisted put me into a steel cage, which might be somewhat heavier. It was quite unusual as I rarely have dreams.

The locks on the HT models I have used (MkII & MkIII) were all of the drilled variety. Check the top of the lock barrel (the ridge running along the upper edge); look for four distinct circular indents or see if the top is a single flat piece covering the holes. The higher-quality ones feature those four circles. One of them did fail when one circle "popped out," but I was still able to remove and replace it, having used that same lock in various devices over several years. MsM’s ld
