Reusable thanks to five main closures: Our Combination Lock 158KC is recommended if you want to secure moderate valuables or objects.

FIVE MAIN CLOSURES

Our Combination Lock 158KC is recommended if you want to secure moderate valuables or objects.

With a four-digit numerical code, you can use the padlock 158KC to secure your locker for sports, the toolbox at work, or the shed in the yard. All you have to do is remember a four-digit numerical code. In this version - KC for Key Control - the combination lock’s integrated master key function ensures that a person at a higher level can use a numerical code to reset all locks with a master key to the code zero-zero-zero. This makes this combination lock reusable, which is a sustainable and cost-saving solution especially for use with lockers in schools, gyms, swimming pools, or other locker rentals.

Technology:

  • Solid body made from zinc die-cast
  • Shackle made from hardened steel
  • 4-digit resettable code

  • To secure valuables / goods of medium value or at an average risk of theft
  • To secure doors, gates, cupboards, lockers, tool boxes, cellar windows, sheds, switchboards, etc.

ABUS 158/45KC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does the master key override work on the ABUS 158 KC combination padlock?
KC stands for Key Control. An administrator with the override key can reset any lock in the group back to code zero-zero-zero, so a forgotten combination does not mean cutting the lock off. The user still sets and operates their own four-digit code day to day. One catch on the order: the override key is sold separately, so a facility deploying these needs to order it alongside the locks or the reset function is unusable.
2) Can you reset the combination on an ABUS 158/45 padlock for a new tenant or student?
Yes, and that is the point of the model. The four-digit code is resettable, so the same lock can be reissued to the next locker holder each season or each term rather than binned. For a school, gym, or pool running rented lockers, that is the difference between a consumable and a fixed asset.
3) Is the ABUS 158/45 KC secure enough for an outdoor gate or a tool crib?
ABUS positions the 158 KC for goods of medium value or average theft risk, which covers lockers, cupboards, tool boxes, sheds, cellar windows, and switchboards. It is not the lock for high-value stock or an exposed perimeter gate. For heavier duty, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, and the Sargent 82-856 uses a 2 x 2 inch brass case with a stainless shackle.
4) What is the difference between the ABUS 158/45 KC combination padlock and a keyed padlock like the Sargent 758?
The ABUS 158/45 KC opens on a four-digit numerical code the user sets, with an override key held by an administrator to reset a forgotten code back to zero-zero-zero; the override key is sold separately. The Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock, meaning it is opened by a key and the key cannot be withdrawn while the shackle is open. Where a locker or cabinet is handed to a rotating user who should not be issued a key, the code-operated 158/45 covers it; where every user carries a key on a keyed system, the 758 is the key-operated form.
5) I need a padlock on a keyed system with interchangeable cores instead of a combination lock. What should I use?
The ABUS 158/45 KC is code-operated, so it does not accept a cylinder from a facility keyway. The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which lets the core be pulled and rekeyed with the rest of the building. The Medeco 54515G XT is an indoor/outdoor padlock supplied with a cylinder and is non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter. Either of those puts the padlock on the same key system as the doors; the 158/45 keeps it off the key system entirely.
6) Should I use a combination padlock or a keyed padlock for staff lockers?
A combination lock like the 158/45 KC suits shared or rotating users: nobody carries a key, nothing gets lost, and the administrator holds a single override key rather than a key cabinet. Where you want the lock keyed into an existing master key system, go keyed instead. The Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock takes an interchangeable core so it drops into a facility keyway, and the Medeco 5260 uses M3 key technology with a 7/16 inch shackle for a higher-security keyed option.
7) What is the ABUS 158/45 padlock body made of and how big is it?
Body is zinc die-cast at 45mm wide, with a hardened steel shackle 6mm in diameter. The 45mm width is the mid-size in the 158 line and is what makes it sit flat on a locker door without fouling the neighbouring door.
8) How many ABUS 158/45 KC locks can one master key reset?
The KC override is a group function, not a one-to-one key. A person at a higher level uses the master key to reset all locks in the group back to code zero-zero-zero. Order the same 158 KC model across the facility so every locker answers to the one administrator key, and specify the override key separately since it does not come with the lock.
9) Is the ABUS 158/45 padlock suitable for an outdoor gate, or is there something built for weather?
The ABUS 158/45 has a zinc die-cast body with a hardened steel shackle and is described for doors, gates, cupboards, lockers, tool boxes, cellar windows, sheds, and switchboards. For an exposed exterior application, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder, and the Medeco 54515G XT is rated for indoor/outdoor use. Those two are built around exposure; the 158/45 is built around code operation.
10) How does the shackle on the ABUS 158/45 KC compare with brass-body padlocks like the Schlage KS23D or Medeco 5260?
The ABUS 158/45 has a 6 mm shackle diameter with 20mm horizontal and 25mm vertical shackle clearance, on a 45mm wide body. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, and the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter in satin chrome. If an existing hasp or chain sets the opening the shackle has to pass through, those diameters and the 158/45 clearances are the numbers to check before ordering.
11) For a school or gym locker program, is the ABUS 158/45 KC the right choice over a standard padlock?
The KC in ABUS 158/45 KC stands for Key Control: an administrator can use the override key to reset a lock back to code zero-zero-zero when a renter leaves or forgets the code, so the same lock goes back out to the next user. That is the behavior a locker rental program needs. A keyed padlock such as the Sargent 858, a non-key retaining lock with a stainless steel shackle in US4 satin brass, requires issuing and recovering a physical key from every user instead.
12) Does the ABUS 158/45 KC give the same pick resistance as a high-security padlock?
The ABUS 158/45 uses a disc cylinder for protection against picking and is stated for goods of medium value or at an average risk of theft. Where the risk is higher, the comparable high-security padlocks are built around patented key technology instead: the Medeco 5260 uses M3 key technology and the Sargent 82-856 is a KESO Series padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle. Those two are key-operated, so they trade the code convenience of the 158/45 for a controlled key.
13) Can the ABUS 158/45 KC be ordered keyed alike with the rest of a facility's padlocks?
No. The ABUS 158/45 KC is a 4-digit resettable combination padlock; each user sets their own code, and the administrator override key resets locks rather than opening them as part of a keying schedule. To standardize padlocks under one keying scheme, the Sargent 758 and 858 Series and the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock are the key-operated forms, with the 60-858-2 accepting a core that can be rekeyed in the field.
14) Is the ABUS 158/45 KC a commercial-duty padlock or a consumer one?
It is catalogued for commercial use, and the KC master-key reset is a facility feature rather than a retail one: schools, gyms, swimming pools, and locker rental operations are the stated use cases. A single administrator resets forgotten codes across the whole set of locks.
15) Can the combination on the 158 KC be picked or decoded?
The 158 KC uses a disc cylinder mechanism, which ABUS rates as maximum protection against picking. The override side is key-operated rather than a second dial, so there is no shortcut combination sequence to work out.
16) Which padlocks let the key be removed while the shackle is open, and does the ABUS 158/45 work that way?
Key retention decides whether a lock can be left hanging open with the key in a pocket. The Sargent 758 is key retaining, so the key stays captive while the shackle is open. The Sargent 858 and the Medeco 54515G are non-key retaining, so the key comes out with the lock open. The ABUS 158/45 KC is not governed by this at all in daily use: it opens on the four-digit code, and its override key is an administrator function for resetting a lost code, sold separately.
