I have Oxford shackle locks. The mechanisms are so tetchy you ideally need three hands to use them. One each for the key, u-bar and lock bar. If you happen to put the wrong key in the lock it turns, but only half the distance it should, which isn’t always obvious when you are struggling to hold it properly cos you only have two hands....well, I do, anyway.

My wife and I have identical Abus locks for our bikes. The brackets on the other hand are absolutely diametrically opposite in how they function. It's infuriating.
