Padlock 24IB

The Diskus® padlock ABUS Diskus® 24IB provides you with all-round protection against theft and corrosion.

  • The original ABUS Diskus® – 100% rust-free security
  • 360-degree all-round protection
  • Precision pin cylinder

ORIGINAL ABUS DISKUS® - 100% RUSTPROOF SECURITY

The ABUS Diskus lock is a special type of padlock with special advantages.

The Diskus lock’s shape effectively prevents the most common methods of breaking through. This means that the small shackle opening called for in the design offers hardly any space on the shackle for attacks. Due to the predominant use of stainless steel, the Diskus lock is most especially used in cases where security and corrosion protection are required. The ABUS Diskus 24IB can be used to lock trucks, doors, gates, barns, basements, sheds, etc. Ideally, an ABUS Diskus hasp should be used so that the shackle of the lock cannot be attacked with tools to pry it open.

Technology:

  • Lock body, inner parts and shackle made solely from stainless steel for extreme resistance to corrosion
  • Cylinder cover – maximum protection against dirt and water spray (2 23⁄64and 2 3⁄4" only)"
  • Nickel-plated cylinder for enhanced weather protection
  • Original Diskus® design: 360° protection
  • Diskus® Deep-Welding Technology – the best in break-in protection
  • Precision pin cylinder
  • Key retaining: locking only with the key (key cannot be removed while the lock remains open)
  • Made in Germany

Operation and use:

  • For the protection of larger assets and objects with a high risk of theft
  • Ideal for severe weather conditions (e.g., in sea and port areas, for securing vehicles and boats in outdoor use)
  • For securing trucks, doors, gates, barns, cellars, cupboards, etc.

Tips:

  • Also ideal in combination with ABUS Diskus® Hasp 140, so the lock shackle cannot be attacked with tools

ABUS 24IB-50-KD – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which ABUS Diskus 24IB size do I need for my hasp?
The 24IB comes in three body widths, each with its own shackle diameter: the 24IB/50 is 2 inches wide with a 1/4 inch shackle, the 24IB/60 is 2-3/8 inches wide with a 5/16 inch shackle, and the 24IB/70 is 2-3/4 inches wide with a 3/8 inch shackle. Measure the hasp eye first. The shackle diameter has to pass through it, and the Diskus design deliberately leaves a very small shackle opening, so the body width also has to clear whatever the hasp is mounted to.
2) Can I get ABUS Diskus 24IB padlocks keyed alike so one key opens all of them?
Yes. Every 24IB size is orderable keyed alike, keyed different, or master keyed. Keyed alike is what most property managers and fleet operators want across a run of gates or storage doors: one key, every lock. Master keyed gives site staff a key to their own lock while a master opens the whole group. Pick the keying and the body size independently, all three keying options are offered on the 2 inch, 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch models.
3) Can I rekey an ABUS Diskus 24IB to my building's existing key system?
No. The 24IB uses an ABUS precision pin cylinder that is built into the lock, so it is ordered keyed to an ABUS system, not fitted with your house cylinder. If you need the padlock on the same core as the rest of the facility, you want an interchangeable core padlock instead. ZenSupply carries the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock, which takes an SFIC core, and the Medeco 5260, which uses M3 key technology.
4) What is the closest stainless steel alternative to the ABUS 24IB Diskus padlock for a marine or wash-down environment?
The ABUS 24IB Diskus uses stainless steel for the lock body, inner parts and shackle, which is why it is specified for sea and port areas and for vehicles and boats kept outdoors. The nearest peer built the same way is the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock, which has a solid stainless steel body and is supplied less a pop-out cylinder, so the cylinder is ordered and keyed separately. The difference in shape matters as much as the material: the 24IB is the round Diskus body with a small shackle opening and 360-degree coverage, while the 521 G8R is a conventional shrouded padlock body. If the hasp on the opening is an ABUS Diskus hasp, the round Diskus body is what it is cut for.
5) Which padlock takes an interchangeable core instead of the ABUS 24IB Diskus fixed cylinder?
The ABUS 24IB Diskus is built around a precision pin cylinder integral to the lock, and keying is chosen at the time of order as keyed alike, keyed different or master keyed. A facility that rekeys its own hardware from a core bench usually wants a removable core instead, and the Sargent 60-858-2 is the removable core padlock in the comparable range, with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. Going that route means the padlocks fall under the same core system as the rest of the doors rather than under a separate ABUS key section.
6) The ABUS 24IB will not release the key while the lock is open. What padlock should I use instead?
That is the 24IB working as designed: it is key retaining, so it locks only with the key in it and the key cannot be pulled while the shackle is open. On a gate or cage that a crew opens in the morning and closes at night, that ties up a key all day. Non-key-retaining peers include the Sargent 858 with a stainless steel shackle in US4 satin brass, the Sargent 82-856 with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle, and the Medeco 54515G XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter. Note that all three move away from the stainless Diskus body the 24IB is chosen for.
7) I need a key retaining padlock like the ABUS 24IB but on our existing Sargent keyway. What is the equivalent?
The Sargent 758 is the key retaining standard padlock in that line, finished US4 satin brass, so it holds the key captive while open the same way the ABUS 24IB Diskus does. Sargent also offers the 858 in the same family as a non-key-retaining lock, so the 758 and 858 are the retaining and non-retaining halves of one series. Where the 24IB stays different is construction: stainless steel body, inner parts and shackle, and the round Diskus form with 360-degree coverage, for openings exposed to weather and salt.
8) Why does the key stay stuck in my ABUS Diskus 24IB while the lock is open?
That is intended behavior, not a fault. The 24IB is key retaining: the key can only be withdrawn once the lock is closed and locked. It stops someone walking off with the key and leaving the padlock hanging open on the gate. If you need a lock the key comes out of while it is open, that is a non-key-retaining design, and ZenSupply carries the Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856 as non-key-retaining padlocks.
9) Is a Diskus padlock actually harder to cut than a normal shackle padlock?
The round Diskus body wraps the shackle so only a short span of it is exposed, which is the part bolt cutters and pry bars need to grip. The shackle is stainless steel joined by ABUS Diskus deep-welding, and the body gives 360 degree coverage around it. It is not uncuttable, but the geometry removes the usual purchase point. Pairing it with an ABUS Diskus Hasp 140 closes off the shackle entirely so tools can't get on it, which is how ABUS recommends mounting it.
10) What is the difference between an ABUS Diskus 24IB and a Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock?
Both are stainless steel bodied padlocks built for wet and outdoor duty. The 24IB is the round Diskus shape, stainless throughout including the shackle, with a conventional shackle you thread through a hasp or chain. The Medeco 521 G8R is a solid stainless steel body weather-tight lock supplied less the pop-out cylinder, so you are buying the shell and adding a Medeco cylinder to match an existing Medeco system. Pick the 24IB if you want a complete keyed lock out of the box; pick the G8R if the site is already on Medeco keys.
11) Is the ABUS Diskus 24IB heavy duty enough for gates, truck doors and storage units?
That is what it is built for. ABUS lists the 24IB for trucks, doors, gates, barns, cellars, sheds and cupboards, and for larger assets at high theft risk. It is a commercial grade lock, not a residential luggage or locker padlock. For a roll-up storage door or a yard gate, size up to the 2-3/4 inch body with the 3/8 inch shackle if the hasp will take it.
12) I need an outdoor padlock I can audit or control electronically, is the ABUS Diskus 24IB the right choice?
No. The 24IB is a mechanical pin cylinder padlock with no electronics, no audit trail and no access scheduling. For indoor or outdoor openings where you need electronic control, ZenSupply carries the Medeco 54515G XT electronic padlock, which has a 5/16 inch shackle and is non-key-retaining. Use the 24IB where you want corrosion resistance and mechanical simplicity, and the XT where you need to know who opened what and when.
13) Is the Schlage KS23D a substitute for the ABUS 24IB Diskus padlock?
They overlap on one number only. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, and the ABUS 24IB in the 24IB/60 size also carries a 5/16 inch shackle, so a hasp sized for one will usually pass the other. Everything else differs. The 24IB is stainless steel through the body, inner parts and shackle, in the round Diskus form with the shackle opening kept small and 360-degree coverage; the KS23D is a brass body in the conventional padlock shape. For an opening that stays wet or salty, the stainless build is the reason the 24IB is specified.
14) What padlock has a heavier shackle than the ABUS 24IB Diskus?
The 24IB tops out at 3/8 inch shackle diameter in the 24IB/70, which is 2-3/4 inch wide. If the specification calls for more shackle, the Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series carries a 7/16 inch shackle diameter, in a brass body with M3 key technology and a satin chrome finish. The trade is direction: the Diskus earns its resistance from the closed round body and the deliberately small shackle opening rather than from shackle diameter, and it is the stainless option in the pair.
15) Can I replace the ABUS 24IB Diskus with an electronic padlock for audit trail on remote sites?
The Medeco 54515G XT is the electronic option in the comparable range, rated for indoor and outdoor use with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and supplied with a cylinder; it is non-key retaining, so the credential is not held captive while the lock is open. That 5/16 inch shackle matches the ABUS 24IB/60 size, so a hasp cut for that 24IB generally accepts it. What does not carry over is the Diskus geometry and the all-stainless body, inner parts and shackle that make the 24IB the choice for sea and port exposure.
16) Which of these padlocks can be ordered keyed alike across a whole property?
The ABUS 24IB Diskus is ordered with the keying specified up front, in keyed alike, keyed different or master keyed, in any of the three sizes: 24IB/50 at 1/4 inch shackle and 2 inch width, 24IB/60 at 5/16 inch and 2-3/8 inch, and 24IB/70 at 3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch. That makes one keying decision cover a mixed fleet of gates, sheds and truck bodies in a single stainless family. Where a property already runs a core program, the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock brings the padlocks into that system instead, with keying handled at the core rather than at the order.
17) Is the ABUS 24IB brass or stainless steel?
Stainless steel, and not just the shell. The body, the internal components and the shackle are all stainless, which is why ABUS markets it as 100 percent rust free. Brass bodied padlocks like the Schlage KS23D/KS23F or the Medeco 5260 are common alternatives, but brass does not give you the same corrosion behavior in marine or heavy wash down environments.
18) Where is the ABUS 24IB Diskus padlock made?
Germany. The 24IB is ABUS's original Diskus design, built with their deep-welding process and a precision pin cylinder, and manufactured in Germany. For institutional buyers who track country of origin on procurement paperwork, that is the answer for the whole 24IB range.
