Combination Lock 145/20 C

Practical for on the road: Our combination lock 145 is a compact padlock with numerical code and special coating for extra robust protection.

  • Solid aluminum lock body - low weight
  • Shackle made from steel
  • Individually resettable digit code

NINE BRIGHT COLORS

Our combination lock 145 is available in nine bright colors with a special coating for extra robust protection.

Padlock ABUS 145 consists of a solid aluminum lock body and a steel shackle. It is suitable for locking bags, suitcases, caskets, lockers, and more. We recommend the 145/20 to 145/30 variants if you want to secure low-value objects or items at a low risk of theft. The large 145/40 variant works very well for securing objects of medium value or items at a moderate risk of theft. The numerical code can be individually set with three or four number wheels, depending on the size of the lock. Due to their low weight, our combination locks 145 are easy to use at any time, even on the road.

Technology:

  • Solid aluminum lock body with anodized coating – corrosion resistant
  • Spring loaded shackle for a better setting of the opening code
  • 145/20 and 145/30: Individually resettable 3-digit code
  • 145/40: Individually resettable 4-digit code
  • Handy operation without key, low weight
  • High value of recognition by intensive colors

Operation and use:

  • 145/20 and 145/30: To secure valuables/goods of lesser value or at a low risk of theft
  • 145/40: To secure valuables/goods of medium value or at an average risk of theft
  • E.g. to secure luggage, lockers in schools and sports centres, cash boxes, jewel cases, cupboards, tool boxes, switchboards, etc.

ABUS 145/20 C-YE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the ABUS 145/20 combination padlock fit through my locker hasp or a luggage zipper pull?
Shackle clearance is what decides it. The 145/20 gives 25/32 inch of horizontal clearance and 1-17/32 inch of vertical clearance inside the shackle, on a 13/64 inch diameter steel shackle. So the hasp staple or zipper pull has to accept a 13/64 inch bar, and the opening you're passing through can be no wider than 25/32 inch. That's a small footprint by design, which is why it suits bags, suitcases, cash boxes and school or gym lockers rather than a gate or a chain.
2) Is an ABUS 145/20 enough security for a tool box or a job site cabinet, or do I need a bigger padlock?
ABUS positions the 145/20 for goods of lesser value or at a low risk of theft. The body is 1-37/64 inch wide with a 13/64 inch shackle, so it's a deterrent and a tamper indicator, not a barrier. If what's behind the door is of medium value or at an average risk of theft, ABUS points you up the family to the 145/40, which also moves you from a 3-digit to a 4-digit code. For anything genuinely at risk on a commercial site, step to a keyed padlock with a hardened shackle instead.
3) Can I set my own combination on the ABUS 145/20, or is it a fixed factory code?
You set it yourself. The 145/20 uses an individually resettable 3-digit code, so a property manager or facilities crew can assign a code per locker and change it at turnover without ordering a new lock. Three wheels means 1,000 possible codes, which tells you what kind of duty it's for: control and accountability, not high security.
4) Can I get the ABUS 145/20 keyed alike with the rest of my building's padlocks?
No. The 145/20 opens on a 3-digit combination and has no cylinder, so it can't be brought onto a master key system or keyed alike with anything. Where padlocks have to fall under a facility keyway, the keyed options are the route: the Sargent 758 Series is a key retaining padlock, the Sargent 60-858-2 takes a removable core so it can join an existing interchangeable core system, and the Medeco 5260 runs M3 key technology on a brass body. Combination locks like the 145 make sense for shared lockers where issuing keys is the problem, not the solution.
5) Is the ABUS 145/20 shackle thick enough to resist bolt cutters on a storage unit?
Not for that job. The shackle measures 13/64 inch in diameter, which is a light gauge intended for suitcases, lockers and cash boxes rather than a storage unit or exterior hasp. Padlocks built to be cut resistant run far heavier shackles, and among what's available the Medeco 54515G is a 5/16 inch shackle and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock is also 5/16 inch. If the lock is the only thing between the street and the contents, the 145/20 is the wrong choice.
6) Will an ABUS 145/20 C hold up outdoors on an exterior enclosure?
The 145/20 C is built as a solid aluminum body with an anodized coating that ABUS describes as corrosion resistant, and it is intended for luggage, lockers, cash boxes, cupboards, toolboxes and switchboards. For an exposed outdoor position, the padlocks built for weather in the comparable range are the Medeco 521 G8R, a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body supplied less the pop-out cylinder, and the Medeco 54515G XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, non-key retaining, supplied with cylinder. Those are keyed and electronic locks rather than combination locks, so you would be changing how the lock is opened as well as where it can live.
7) What is the difference between the ABUS 145/20 C combination padlock and a Sargent 758 padlock?
They are two different kinds of lock. The ABUS 145/20 C is opened with an individually resettable 3-digit numerical code on an aluminum body with a steel shackle, so no key is carried at all. The Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock, meaning the key cannot be withdrawn while the shackle is open, and it is offered in a US4 satin brass finish. If a crew shares one opening among several people and you do not want to issue keys, the code-set 145/20 C suits that; if you need the lock tied to an existing key system and want the key captive while the lock is off, the 758 is the one to look at.
8) I need a padlock that takes our building's interchangeable core - is the ABUS 145/20 C an option?
No. The ABUS 145/20 C is a combination lock set by a 3-digit code, so there is no core to swap into it. The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which is the type that accepts a facility core so the padlock keys alike with the rest of the doors. Pick the 60-858-2 when the padlock has to join a keying system and the 145/20 C when the opening is standalone and you want it opened by code.
9) The ABUS 145/20 C shackle is too thin for my gate hasp - what should I use instead?
The 145/20 C carries a 13/64 inch shackle diameter with 25/32 inch horizontal and 1-17/32 inch vertical shackle clearance, which is sized for lockers, cases and toolboxes rather than a gate hasp. For a heavier shackle in the same padlock family of products, the Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series has a 7/16 inch shackle diameter on a brass body in satin chrome, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock uses a 5/16 inch diameter shackle. Measure the hasp opening first, since a thicker shackle also needs a wider hasp eye to pass through.
10) Does the ABUS 145 combination padlock lock shut on its own, or do I have to scramble the dials?
The 145/20 is self locking, so pushing the shackle home latches it without a key or any extra step. The dials do need to be spun off the code afterward, or the lock reads open to anyone who walks past. The shackle is spring loaded, which pops it clear the moment the right code lines up.
11) I need to color code padlocks by trade or by building. What colors does the ABUS 145/20 come in?
Ten finishes: black, blue, brown, green, orange, purple, red, silver, titanium and yellow. The anodized aluminum body carries the color through rather than painting it on, and ABUS builds the range specifically so locks can be told apart at a glance. That makes it workable for assigning a color per crew, per floor, or per department across a fleet of lockers.
12) For a school locker program, is the ABUS 145/20 C or a Sargent 858 the better fit?
The ABUS 145/20 C is called out for lockers in schools and sports centres, and because the 3-digit code is individually resettable you can reassign a lock to a new student without cutting keys. It comes in ten finish choices including blue, red, yellow, green, orange, purple, brown, black, silver and titanium, which is how many programs colour-code by grade or wing. The Sargent 858 is a non-key retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in US4 satin brass, which suits a locker bank you want the maintenance department to master key instead of handing control to the user.
13) Is there a padlock with a wider body than the ABUS 145/20 C for a hasp with a large staple?
The 145/20 C measures 1-37/64 inch in product width. The Sargent 82-856 is built on a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case with a stainless steel shackle, so it covers considerably more of a wide hasp plate; it is a non-key retaining lock in the KESO series rather than a combination lock. Check the staple spacing on the hasp against both, since a wide case can bottom out on a hasp designed around a compact body.
14) Which padlock should I choose if I want the same lock to work on a keypad or credential system?
The ABUS 145/20 C opens by a 3-digit numerical code that is set at the lock itself, so it stands alone with no system behind it. The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock in the System Series, supplied with cylinder and non-key retaining, and that is the one to specify when the padlock needs to belong to a managed access system rather than be opened by a code shared among users.
15) Do I need to order a cylinder separately with the ABUS 145/20 C the way I do with some padlocks?
No cylinder ordering applies to the ABUS 145/20 C, since it is opened by a resettable 3-digit code rather than a key. That step does come up on keyed padlocks: the Medeco 521 G8R is supplied less the pop-out cylinder, so the cylinder is a separate line on the order, while the Medeco 54515G XT is supplied with its cylinder. Confirm which arrangement applies before you release a purchase order so a keyed lock does not arrive without a way to open it.
16) How heavy is the ABUS 145/20 for carrying on a bag or in a kit?
Light, and that's the point of the design. The body is solid aluminum rather than brass or steel, which ABUS specifies for low weight, and the whole lock is 1-37/64 inch across the body. Combined with keyless operation, it's the format people carry in luggage or a tool bag where a brass bodied padlock would be dead weight.
