ABUS 28/60 Diskus Stainless Steel Padlock with Key, 19/64" Shackle diam., 2 23/64" Width

Measure the hasp's staple before ordering. The 28/60 shackle is 19/64 inch in diameter, so the staple hole has to be at least that. Clearance under the shackle is 11/16 inch horizontally and 17/32 inch vertically, which is what limits how thick a hasp loop or chain link it will close over. The lock body itself is 2-23/64 inches wide, so allow that much flat space around the staple.

Yes. The 28/60 is ordered either keyed alike, so one key runs every lock in the group, or keyed different, so each lock has its own key. Keyed alike is what property managers and facilities crews usually want for a run of gates or storage lockers; keyed different suits tenant-assigned units where each person keeps their own key.

The ABUS 28/60 Diskus uses a fixed precision pin cylinder with anti-pick pins, so it cannot be recored into an existing small format core system. For that, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which lets it be keyed into the same core system as the rest of the facility. Choose the 28/60 when you want the shrouded Diskus body and 360 degree shackle protection; choose the 60-858-2 when core interchangeability is the deciding requirement.

The ABUS 28/60 Diskus has a 19/64 inch shackle diameter with 11/16 inch horizontal and 17/32 inch vertical shackle clearance, which suits hasps sized for the Diskus profile. If the hasp staple needs a heavier shackle, the Medeco 5260 of the 52 Series uses a 7/16 inch shackle diameter on a brass body in satin chrome. The Medeco 54515G and Schlage KS23D/KS23F both use a 5/16 inch shackle, only slightly larger than the 28/60.

The closest stainless alternative is the Medeco 521 G8R, a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body supplied less pop-out cylinder. The ABUS 28/60 is a stainless steel Diskus padlock with a 19/64 inch shackle diameter and a 2-23/64 inch body width, and it ships complete with key in keyed alike or keyed different. The practical difference is that the Medeco 521 G8R requires a cylinder to be supplied separately, while the 28/60 is a complete keyed unit out of the box.

The ABUS 28/60 Diskus is built the opposite way - the body shrouds the shackle for 360 degree protection and leaves only 11/16 inch of horizontal and 17/32 inch of vertical clearance, so it will not reach through a chain or a tall hasp staple. For more reach, the Sargent 60-858-2 is specified with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle and is a removable core padlock. Use the 28/60 where the hasp is tight and attack resistance matters; use the 60-858-2 where the shackle has to span more material.

The round Diskus body wraps the shackle on all sides, giving 360 degree protection, and the two halves are joined with ABUS Diskus deep-welding for strength. A conventional square-body lock like the Sargent 858 or the Schlage KS23D leaves more of the shackle exposed to bolt cutters but seats more easily in a deep hasp recess. Diskus locks suit gates, roll-up doors, storage units and containers where the shackle would otherwise sit out in the open.

It's built for it. The body is stainless steel, the shackle is hardened steel, and the lock is rated commercial rather than residential use. The enclosed round profile also leaves less of a ledge for water and grit to sit on than an open-shackle lock.

Often yes, but check the staple. Many light-duty residential hasps use a staple loop too tall to clear the 17/32 inch vertical gap under the Diskus shackle. Diskus locks pair best with a Diskus-style or low-profile hasp where the staple is a thin, flat loop. If the staple is bulky, you need a conventional long-shackle padlock instead.

The ABUS 28/60 Diskus is supplied with key in keyed alike or keyed different. If key retention is a written requirement - the key cannot be withdrawn while the lock is open, so the padlock is never left off the hasp - the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass. Its counterpart, the Sargent 858, is non-key retaining with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass finish.

The ABUS 28/60 is a mechanical Diskus padlock with a precision pin cylinder and anti-pick pins, opened by a cut key, and it is available keyed alike or keyed different. The Medeco 54515G is a System Series electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included. The 54515G brings programmable electronic credentials and audit capability into the decision; the 28/60 needs no batteries, programming, or software to operate.

Brass body options include the Schlage KS23D/KS23F with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, the Sargent 82-856 with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle, and the Medeco 5260 brass body padlock in satin chrome. The ABUS 28/60 differs in construction rather than just material: it is a stainless steel Diskus padlock whose round body shrouds the shackle for 360 degree protection, with only 11/16 inch of horizontal shackle clearance exposed. On an exterior hasp where bolt cutter access to the shackle is the concern, that shrouded geometry is the reason to stay with the 28/60.

The ABUS 28/60 Diskus carries its own ABUS precision pin cylinder and is ordered keyed alike or keyed different within ABUS keying, so it will not key into a Sargent system. For that, stay within the Sargent padlock line: the 858 is non-key retaining with a stainless steel shackle, the 758 is the key retaining version, and the 60-858-2 is the removable core version with a 2 inch stainless shackle. The Sargent 82-856 is a KESO Series padlock for facilities on that platform.

Not necessarily. The ABUS 28/60 is 2-23/64 inch wide with 11/16 inch horizontal and 17/32 inch vertical shackle clearance, and its round Diskus body sits close to the hasp. The Sargent 82-856 has a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case, which is a squarer, slightly narrower footprint and a different shackle geometry. Measure the hasp staple opening and the space behind it before treating the two as interchangeable, because body width and clearance both change how the lock seats.

The Diskus 28 is made in Germany by ABUS. Model designation is 28/60, where 60 refers to the body size, and the body measures 2-23/64 inches wide.
