ABUS 151/20 BakPac 3-Digit Combination Padlock, 1/8" Shackle Dia.

The shackle opening on the 151/20 measures 25/64 inch horizontally and 19/32 inch vertically, with a 1/8 inch shackle. That clears zipper pulls, small bag hasps, and thin locker staples. It will not go around a standard commercial hasp staple or a chain link, which need far more than 25/64 inch of horizontal clearance.

You set it yourself. The 151/20 uses an individually resettable 3-digit code, so you can program it when you receive it and change it later. Three dials means 1,000 possible codes, which is why it is a deterrent lock rather than a security lock.

It will not. The 151/20 BakPac opens on a 3-digit combination, so there is no cylinder to key and it cannot join a masterkey system. For a facility standardizing on one key system, go to a padlock that accepts an interchangeable core or a brand cylinder, such as the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock or the Medeco 5260 with M3 key technology.

The ABUS 151/20 is built to secure valuables or goods of lesser value, or goods at a low risk of theft, and is described as suitable for securing luggage, with a 1/8 inch shackle diameter and a 15/16 inch body. For an exterior opening exposed to weather, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder. For a gate or crib hasp that needs a heavier shackle, the Sargent 60-858-2 carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. Those are the locks to specify when the opening is outdoors or the theft risk is real; the 151/20 belongs on luggage, lockers, and low-risk closures.

The ABUS 151/20 uses an individually resettable 3-digit code and a 1/8 inch diameter shackle, with 25/64 inch horizontal and 19/32 inch vertical shackle clearance and a 15/16 inch body width. If the same light-duty opening needs to be run on keys rather than a code, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle. The KS23D/KS23F takes a key and its shackle is thicker, so confirm the hasp eye or zipper pull accepts 5/16 inch before swapping - the 1/8 inch shackle of the 151/20 passes through openings that a 5/16 inch shackle will not.

The ABUS 151/20 opens on a resettable 3-digit code set by the user, so it sits outside any keying system. To bring padlocks onto a facility key system, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which lets the core be keyed to the same system as the door cylinders. The Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, and the Sargent 858 is the non-key retaining version with a stainless steel shackle in US4 satin brass. Key retaining holds the key captive while the lock is open, so pick 758 where the key must not walk off and 858 where the operator needs to carry it away.

Dial the three digits, then press the lever on the side of the body and the shackle releases. There is no key and no cylinder to turn, which is the point of a combination padlock: nothing for a crew to lose and nothing to re-key.

Combination locks like the ABUS 151/20 BakPac make sense when you are handing locks to people who rotate, since there is no key to lose and the 3-digit code resets. Keyed padlocks make sense when you are standardizing a facility and want one key to open many locks, or when you want to control who holds the key. If you need that, look at a keyed padlock family instead, for example the Sargent 758 key-retaining padlock or the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock, which takes a core that can be keyed into an existing system.

Treat the 151/20 BakPac as an indoor and travel lock. It is a light combination padlock for luggage and low-value goods, not a sealed outdoor body. When the lock lives outside on a gate, meter, or utility enclosure, choose a weather-rated body such as the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, or the Medeco 54515G XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock.

Order ABUS model 151/20, the BakPac 3-digit combination padlock. The 151 is the combination family and the 20 is the body size, 15/16 inch wide, with a 1/8 inch shackle. Specify the color when you order, since that is the only option to choose.

No - they solve different problems. The ABUS 151/20 is a mechanical padlock that opens on a resettable 3-digit code by pressing the lever at the side, with a 1/8 inch shackle. The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and supplied with a cylinder; it belongs to the System Series and is opened by an electronic credential rather than a dialed code. If the requirement is an audit trail and centrally managed access rights, that is the 54515G. If the requirement is a code the user sets in the field with no electronics and no key to issue, that is the 151/20.

The ABUS 151/20 is a 3-digit combination padlock with a 15/16 inch body width and a 1/8 inch shackle diameter. For a brass body on a keyed lock, the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in a satin chrome finish, and the Sargent 82-856 is a non-key retaining KESO Series padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle. Both are substantially larger through the shackle and the case than the 151/20, so the hasp eye and the clearance around it have to be measured before ordering either as a replacement.

The ABUS 151/20 BakPac is offered in blue, matte black, coyote tan, pink, red, and yellow, so a color can be assigned per crew, per department, or per job box with the same 1/8 inch shackle and 15/16 inch body throughout. The keyed alternatives are specified by metal finish rather than color: the Sargent 758 and Sargent 858 come in US4 satin brass, and the Medeco 5260 in satin chrome. Color coding across a set of openings is where the 151/20 fits; a metal finish to match existing hardware is where the Sargent and Medeco locks fit.

Six colors: blue, matte black, coyote tan, pink, red, and yellow. That is enough to color-code by crew, floor, or department, which is a common reason to buy these in quantity for lockers, bags, and issued gear.
