The high end Abloy locks are extremely high quality, weatherproof, and nearly indestructible/theft proof. My company requires us to use them on our trailers. I have seen pro locksmiths review these locks on YouTube with only good things to say.

I use an adjustable trailer lock that comes with an Abloy lock. The downside is that it can scratch your trailer. The locks are very resistent to weather. This is where I got mine from.

PE_T Thanks this.

Different trailer brands and years may be different. On Utility reefer trailers, there are always scratches and dents because of the lock. That was my experience with fleet reefer trailers. -
If you're really handy you can make a cover that slides right over the lock and uses the shackle to hold it on. Just use some black rtv silicone on the bottom to glue the hose together and make the top look like a hot pocket microwave pouch.snowlauncher Thanks this. -
The lock clamp does not move or bounce while the truck is in motion. So it doesn’t scratch this way. The poles are so close to the metal plate that it requires a bit of force to install the lock clamp.Attached Files:

I picked up a couple good quality locks from an RV dealer, had rubber covers, slipped over the lock like a condom.
(I might be onto something with the condoms)
Still have to shoot a little WD 40 once in a while and twist the key back and forth, moisture still gets in from the top, but the keyhole is protected from road dirt.PE_T Thanks this. -
