    The nearest I can find to a Neosteel with rear lock is this one, with two locks, one front one rear, but the rear one only secures the optional plug. But I suppose there could instead be the main lock at the centre back (where it is normally at centre front). Then no lock at front at all, just integrally attached as it is at back normally. Presumably this is what Neosteel have in mind?

    Links here. Any thoughts?

    Seal bolts does not work for me (or rather for my Wife). Nice addition used from time to time, but rather useless.
    Lock pick is about ~10€, so not really big problem.
    Pictures/information could be found here: http://www.neosteel.de/Nseparch.htm
    3-rd and 4-th photo - unfortunately only from the front.
    I could lock my belt (front locking) with closed eyes, so I do not think it will be much more problematic when lock will be behind me. Even if I will need some help from my Wife, this could be addressed and its an opportunity rather than problem.

    PS.: I modified my belt (or rather abus lock) by sanding edges of the locking pin to have easier closing - instead of "factory" shape like this: || I have tip sanded to something like this: /\ - it gives much, much easier fitting.

    Seal bolts help to seal. Locks help to lock.
    Two different functions.
    It depends on what you need.
    And a more secure lock helps.
    That secure lock was the original intent of the TS.

    I now have the ABUS EC 75IB/30 lock here. It looks and feels quite solid, the dimple keys look interesting.
    As soon as the Neosteel belt arrives I will let you know the actual differences to the lock Neosteel supplies.

    To get an Abus padlock call a locksmith. They order them through their business license from sources that do not sell to the public. Beams like abus and medeco usually are only available through such sources. Hope that helps.
