Combination Lock 145/40 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 145/40 C-OR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I set my own combination on the ABUS 145/40, or does it come with a fixed code?
The code is user-settable. The 145/40 carries four number wheels with an individually resettable digit code, so a property manager or facility can assign a code per locker and change it on turnover without buying new locks. The smaller 145/20 and 145/30 bodies use a three-digit code instead, which is 1,000 combinations against 10,000 on the four-wheel 145/40.
2) Should I buy combination padlocks or keyed padlocks for a school or gym locker room?
Combination locks like the ABUS 145/40 make sense where the user changes and no one wants to manage keys: school and sports-centre lockers, staff cubbies, seasonal storage. Each lock takes its own resettable 4-digit code and no key ring travels with it. Where the lock has to fall into an existing facility key system, go keyed instead. The Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock takes your interchangeable core so it joins the building's masterkeying, and the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic padlock if you need an audit trail of who opened what.
3) Can ABUS 145 combination padlocks be keyed alike or master keyed across a building?
No, and this is the decision point for a facility standardizing across many openings. The 145/40 has no cylinder at all, only four resettable digit wheels, so there is no keyway, no master key, and no override for staff. What you can do instead is set every lock in a zone to the same code and reset it on turnover. If you need one master key over a group of padlocks, move to a keyed line such as the Sargent 758 Series or the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock, or the Sargent 60-858-2 if you want removable cores in your existing system.
4) I need a padlock on a master key system instead of a combination - what replaces an ABUS 145/40?
The ABUS 145/40 is a keyless lock set by a 4-digit code, so it cannot be brought onto a keyway. For a keyed padlock in the same duty range, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass, and the Sargent 858 is the non-key retaining version with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass finish. Key retaining means the key cannot be withdrawn while the lock is open, which is what most facilities want on gates and cabinets where a padlock left hanging tends to walk.
5) Which padlock should I use if the facility standardizes on interchangeable cores?
The ABUS 145/40 has no cylinder to swap - it is code-operated with a resettable 4-digit combination. For a facility that rekeys by pulling cores, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, so the core comes out with a control key and the padlock stays on the hasp. Institutional buyers standardizing a campus usually run the removable core body on the doors and gates and keep the ABUS 145 for lockers and personal storage where each user sets their own code.
6) Is the ABUS 145/40 suitable for an outdoor gate, or is there a better choice?
The ABUS 145/40 is weather resistant, with an anodized coating on the aluminum body for corrosion resistance, and it is intended for luggage, lockers, cash boxes, tool boxes, and switchboards. For a padlock built specifically for exposed outdoor duty, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, and the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter. Those stainless and outdoor-rated bodies are the ones contractors put on yard gates and utility enclosures; the 145/40 belongs on the interior and travel side of the job.
7) Do the different colors of the ABUS 145/40 padlock change the lock, or are they just cosmetic?
Same lock in all six colors we carry, black, blue, green, orange, red and yellow. The color is an anodized coating on the aluminum body, which is what gives the corrosion resistance, so it is functional as well as visual. The practical use is sorting: color-code by trade, by building, or by department so a maintenance crew can tell at a glance whose lock is on which locker or panel.
8) Will an ABUS 145/40 combination padlock hold up outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
Weather resistant, yes. The body is anodized aluminum rated corrosion resistant, which is why it survives a wash-down area, an unheated storage room, or a fence-line cabinet better than a plain steel lock. That is about the finish surviving moisture, not about the lock resisting attack, so exposure is fine but an exposed high-risk opening still wants a stainless or hardened body lock.
9) How wide is the ABUS 145/40 lock body, and will it clear a recessed locker latch?
Body width on the 145/40 is 1-39/64 inches, which is the largest of the 145 family. In a recessed or shrouded latch pocket, that width is the number to check first, not the shackle, since the body has to sit clear of the door return. If the pocket is tight, the smaller 145/20 or 145/30 bodies fit where the 40 will not, though they step down to a 3-digit code and are meant for lower-value contents.
10) What happens if a tenant forgets the code on an ABUS 145 padlock?
There is no key override on the 145/40 and no cylinder to pick or shim, so a forgotten code means the lock gets cut off. That is the trade for keyless operation. Property managers running lockers or storage cages generally record the set code in their own log at issue, since the wheels are individually resettable and can be changed again after each turnover. If losing access is unacceptable on an opening, use a keyed padlock so a staff key opens it.
11) What looks like a substitute for the ABUS 145/40 but will not work the same way?
The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic padlock, and buyers sometimes read electronic as keyless and treat it as an equivalent to a combination lock. It is not: the 54515G is supplied with a cylinder and is credential-operated, while the ABUS 145/40 opens on a 4-digit code the user sets themselves with no key, no credential, and no programming. If the point of the purchase is that a tenant or student can set and reset their own code, the electronic padlock does not do that job.
12) I need a higher security padlock than the ABUS 145/40 for medium value stock - what are the options?
The ABUS 145/40 is the large variant of the 145 family, aluminum bodied and rated by the manufacturer for goods of medium value or an average risk of theft, with the smaller 145/20 and 145/30 for low risk items. Where the exposure is higher, the metal-body keyed padlocks are the step up: the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle and M3 key technology in satin chrome, the Sargent 82-856 is a KESO Series non-key retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle, and the Medeco 521 G8R is a solid stainless steel body. Those bring restricted key control and a heavier case, at the cost of having to manage keys.
13) Is the ABUS 145/40 a real commercial padlock or a travel lock?
It is catalogued as commercial-grade hardware and gets used both ways. ABUS positions the 145/40 for medium-value contents at average theft risk, and the spring-loaded shackle plus low aluminum weight is what makes it practical on luggage and cases. In a facility it lands on lockers, cash boxes, cupboards, tool boxes and switchboard panels. For a door, a gate, or anything exterior and load-bearing, this is not the lock.
14) Which padlock is easiest to identify at a glance across a large fleet of lockers?
The ABUS 145/40 is offered in blue, black, green, orange, red, and yellow, and the color is a deliberate part of the design - the anodized coating is intensive enough to give a high value of recognition. That lets a property manager or school assign a color per floor, per trade, or per department and sort at a distance. The keyed comparables are specified by metal finish instead: the Sargent 758 and Sargent 858 come in US4 satin brass and the Medeco 5260 in satin chrome, so they all read the same from across a room.
15) What is the difference between the Sargent 758 and the Sargent 858 when replacing an ABUS 145/40 with a keyed lock?
Both are keyed alternatives to the code-operated ABUS 145/40. The Sargent 758 is key retaining, so the key stays captive in the cylinder while the shackle is open, and it is finished in US4 satin brass. The Sargent 858 is non-key retaining with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass, so the key comes out with the lock open. Key retaining suits gates and cabinets where the padlock must go back on the hasp; non-key retaining suits a route where one person carries the key across many locks.
