TRUST THE ORIGINAL

Our Diskus® 26 is an extremely robust padlock for securing trucks, vans, cellar doors, and factory gates.

Our Diskus® 26 padlock consists of a solid steel body. The solid interior provides even more security. The cylinder is protected against attempts to drill it or pull it out. The seam that holds the two stainless steel housing pieces together on the Diskus® 26 is also hand-welded. This means that the two halves cannot be easily broken apart and the Diskus® 26 secures your valuables and items very well. Even more break-in protection = even more security!

Technology:

  • Heavy-duty stainless steel body
  • Massive inner base for enhanced security
  • Additional protection against sawing
  • Shackle made from special alloy hardened steel
  • Drill and pull resistant cylinder
  • Diskus® Deep-Welding Technology - maximum strength
  • Original Diskus® design: 360° protection
  • Key retaining: key is needed for locking (lock retains key until locked)
  • Made in Germany

Operation and use:

  • To secure valuables/goods of greater value or at a high risk of theft
  • To secure lorries, transporters, cellar doors, factory gates, etc.
  • Ideally used with ABUS Diskus® Hasp 140: virtually impossible to attack shackle

ABUS 26/70-KA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the ABUS 26/70 Diskus padlock fit my hasp, and what is the shackle opening?
The 26/70 Diskus has a 25/64 inch shackle diameter with 43/64 inch of vertical shackle clearance, and the body measures 2-3/4 inches wide. That clearance is the working number: the staple or chain link you are locking through has to pass into 43/64 inch of gap, and the shackle itself needs a hole of at least 25/64 inch. The Diskus shape is deliberately shallow, so on a standard hasp the shackle sits close to the body with very little exposed to a bolt cutter. ABUS builds the Diskus Hasp 140 for this lock specifically, and paired with it the shackle is effectively unreachable.
2) What is the difference between keyed alike, keyed different, and master keyed on the ABUS 26/70?
Three keying options are offered on the 26/70 Diskus. Keyed alike means every lock in the group opens with the same key, which is what you want when one crew has to reach twenty gates or truck bodies. Keyed different gives each padlock its own unique key, so a tenant or a subcontractor can hold one key and open only their own lock. Master keyed gives each lock its own change key while a single master opens the whole set, which is the usual choice for a property manager or facilities lead who needs override access across a building without carrying a ring of keys.
3) Can I lock the ABUS 26/70 Diskus without the key, or does it need the key to lock?
Key retaining. The 26/70 will not release the key until the shackle is locked closed, so nobody can walk off with the key and leave the gate hanging open. That is a real operational difference on a shared site: if you want a lock that can be snapped shut and the key pulled at any time, you want a non-key-retaining padlock instead, such as the Sargent 858 or the Sargent 82-856, both of which are non-key retaining. The Sargent 758 is key retaining like the ABUS.
4) What is the closest stainless steel padlock to the ABUS 26/70 Diskus if the body needs to survive outdoor exposure?
The ABUS 26/70 Diskus uses a heavy stainless steel body with hand-welded seam construction and a shackle of special alloy hardened steel. The closest peer on body material is the Medeco 521 G8R Weather-Tight padlock, which is built on a solid stainless steel body and ships less the pop-out cylinder, so a cylinder has to be supplied separately. The Diskus 26/70 arrives keyed and ready to hang, in keyed alike, keyed different, or master keyed.
5) The 26/70 shackle is too short for the hasp on a factory gate - what padlock gives more shackle to work with?
The ABUS 26/70 Diskus has 43/64 inch of vertical shackle clearance on a 25/64 inch shackle, which is deliberately tight - the shrouded Diskus body leaves little to cut. When the hasp or chain needs more room, the Sargent 60-858-2 carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the Sargent 82-856 pairs a 2 by 2 inch brass case with a stainless steel shackle. Both give up the 360 degree shrouding the Diskus design provides.
6) Is the ABUS 26/70 Diskus the right padlock for a facility standardizing on interchangeable cores?
No. The ABUS 26/70 Diskus is a keyed padlock ordered keyed alike, keyed different, or master keyed, with a cylinder built into the welded stainless body and protected against drilling and pulling - it is not rekeyed by pulling a core in the field. A facility running interchangeable cores should look at the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock, which is designed to accept the same core the rest of the openings use.
7) Does the ABUS 26/70 Diskus hold the key while the lock is open, and which padlocks behave the other way?
The ABUS 26/70 Diskus is key retaining - the key stays captive until the lock is shut, so a truck or gate cannot be left hanging open with the key walked away. The Sargent 758 is likewise a key retaining padlock, in US4 satin brass. Padlocks that release the key while open include the Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856, both non-key retaining with stainless steel shackles, and the Medeco 54515G, a non-key retaining indoor/outdoor lock. That distinction decides whether a driver can pocket the key mid-route.
8) If a cylinder needs to match an existing Medeco keyway, is the ABUS 26/70 Diskus still an option?
The ABUS 26/70 Diskus comes with its own ABUS cylinder built into the welded stainless body and is ordered keyed alike, keyed different, or master keyed within ABUS keying - it is not a shell waiting for a house cylinder. To carry an existing Medeco keyway onto the padlock, the Medeco 521 G8R is supplied less the pop-out cylinder so the cylinder can be specified, and the Medeco 5260 uses M3 key technology.
9) Is a Diskus padlock better than a standard shackle padlock for an outdoor gate or a truck?
A Diskus is the round, disc-shaped body style with the shackle almost fully enclosed, so there is very little metal for a bolt cutter or pry bar to grab. That is why it is the pick for factory gates, cellar doors, truck and van bodies, and anything left outdoors where an attacker has time. A conventional square or rectangular body padlock, like the Sargent 758 or Schlage KS23D, exposes more of the shackle and is easier to work into a standard hasp or a shallow staple. If your hasp was cut for a conventional padlock, check the 43/64 inch shackle clearance before ordering, because a Diskus does not swallow a tall staple the way a long shackle lock does.
10) Will the ABUS 26/70 padlock rust on an outdoor gate or a trailer?
The 26/70 body is stainless steel, hand welded along the seam where the two housing halves meet, which is the part that matters outdoors: the weld keeps the halves from being separated and there is no plated finish to blister off. The shackle is hardened special alloy steel with added protection against sawing. It is made in Germany. If you need a solid stainless body in a conventional padlock shape rather than a Diskus, the Medeco 521 G8R is a solid stainless steel body weather-tight padlock.
11) Can the ABUS 26/70 be drilled out or the cylinder pulled?
The cylinder on the Diskus 26 is protected against both drilling and pulling, and the body is filled with a solid inner base rather than being hollow, so there is no cavity to collapse or pry into. Combined with the welded stainless housing, the common quick attacks on a padlock, drill the plug, pull the cylinder, split the case, are all addressed. For a facility standardizing on a high-security key system instead, the Medeco 52 Series with M3 key technology and the Sargent KESO Series padlock are the restricted-key options.
12) I need to add padlocks to an existing set of ABUS 26/70 locks on my property. What do I order?
Order the 26/70 in the keyed alike option and specify that it goes on the same key group as your existing locks, so the new padlocks open with the key your crew already carries. If your site runs on a master key system, the 26/70 is also offered master keyed. Adding a keyed different lock to an established set is the mistake to avoid; it will not open with the existing key and someone ends up carrying a second key for one gate.
13) What is a brass-body alternative to the ABUS 26/70 Diskus padlock?
The ABUS 26/70 Diskus is stainless steel throughout, with a massive inner base and a seam welded by hand so the two halves resist being pried apart. Brass-body options include the Medeco 5260, a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle and M3 key technology in satin chrome, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle. Both use a conventional exposed-shackle shape rather than the round shrouded Diskus body.
14) Can an electronic padlock replace the ABUS 26/70 Diskus on a remote gate where audit trail matters?
They solve different problems. The ABUS 26/70 Diskus is a mechanical keyed padlock, ordered keyed alike, keyed different, or master keyed, with no electronics to power or program. The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, supplied with cylinder and non-key retaining, for sites that need credential-based access rather than a cut key. Swapping to it changes how the site is keyed, not just what hangs on the hasp.
15) Which padlock has the widest body if hasp clearance is the constraint?
The ABUS 26/70 Diskus measures 2-3/4 inches across the body, a round shrouded shape sized to sit flush against a hasp such as the ABUS Diskus Hasp 140. Among the alternatives, the Sargent 82-856 states a 2 by 2 inch brass case. Measure the hasp plate and the strap opening before committing, since the Diskus round body seats differently than a rectangular case.
16) Which of these padlocks have a thicker shackle than the ABUS 26/70 Diskus?
The ABUS 26/70 Diskus runs a 25/64 inch shackle of special alloy hardened steel, shielded by the round body so little of it is exposed to a cutter. The Medeco 5260 lists a 7/16 inch shackle diameter, thicker in raw section. The Medeco 54515G and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F both list 5/16 inch. On the Diskus the exposed length matters as much as the diameter, because the body covers the shackle on all sides.
17) Is the ABUS 26/70 Diskus suitable for commercial and industrial use, or is it a residential padlock?
It is a commercial-rated padlock. ABUS positions the Diskus 26 for goods of higher value or at high theft risk, which in practice means fleet vehicles, contractor trailers, storage yards, and utility enclosures rather than a garden shed. The 2-3/4 inch body is a full-size lock, not a travel or locker size.
18) Does the ABUS 26/70 padlock come with keys?
Yes, the 26/70 Diskus is a keyed padlock supplied with its keys, and because it is key retaining the key cannot be removed while the shackle is open. If you are running a facility on interchangeable cores and want to key the padlock to your existing system rather than to an ABUS key, a removable core padlock like the Sargent 60-858-2 is the different approach.
19) What padlock should I use if I need electronic access control or an audit trail instead of a mechanical key?
The ABUS 26/70 Diskus is a straight mechanical key padlock, so it will not log openings or let you revoke a key remotely. For an outdoor application that needs electronic credentials, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter. Note it is non-key retaining, unlike the ABUS, so the credential is not held captive while the lock is open.
