I have several of the "wolf" ones that came with various devices I have tried, but invariably they stop locking or unlocking. What other locks, other than integrated ones, have you found that work well?

Hard to beat the old standby ABUS lock made from Stainless and brass. Never had a problem with them.

I have found the old style brass Masterlocks to be the most reliable (admittedly, I haven't used ABUS).

I agree with wishful4. The Abus lock has worked flawlessly for us with little maintenance for years.

We've thought about trying this one. Not sure if it might be a bit too big. The key style may attract more queries. Mistress likes the thought of that.

Edit; apparently I forgot to put the link in.

This is what we use...

The vinyl cover gets rid of sharp corners for both his and her comfort. It's not a sexy heart shape or shiny brass lock, but it has long-term functionality. I also use a rubber band around the post of the base ring to keep the lock from chattering—again, not sexy, but functional.

When we first started using the ABUS lock, we quickly realized the corners and edges were too sharp. I took a fine file and eliminated every sharp edge I could find on the lock and my spouse has not complained since.
