I agree with GA2G regarding the fact that some locks are better than others with regards weather-proofing. I have an oldish Kryptonite New York that spends most of its life outside at work. It has a sliding flap in the lock mechanism which keeps out the crap. On the other hand a recently purchased Abus U-Mini 401 which has no protection against the elements. I did however manage to slide over a cut out section of old 26" inner tube and this provides excellent protection keeping out everything.
Incidentally the Abus Mini is a sod to capture an MTB frame's seat stays rear rim and a bike stand. What a fight.
