ABUS 41/40-KA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the ABUS 41/40 padlock fit my hasp? What is the shackle opening?
The 41/40 uses a 9/32 inch diameter shackle with 45/64 inch of horizontal clearance and 25/32 inch of vertical clearance. That is the working window for your hasp staple or chain link: the staple has to pass through a 45/64 inch gap, and you need 25/32 inch of height under the crossbar to get it seated. The lock body itself is 1-47/64 inches wide, so check there is room alongside the hasp plate for a body that size.
2) Can I get ABUS 41/40 padlocks keyed alike so one key opens all of them?
Yes. Keying is the choice you make when ordering the 41/40: keyed alike (KA) so a single key runs every lock in the group, keyed different (KD) so each lock has its own key, or master keyed (MK) where each lock has its own change key and a master opens the whole set. Property managers running a set of storage units or gates usually go KA for one crew key, or MK when maintenance needs a master over individually keyed tenants.
3) For a facility standardizing on interchangeable cores, is the ABUS 41/40 padlock a fit?
The ABUS 41/40 uses a precision pin tumbler cylinder and is ordered keyed alike, keyed different, or master keyed rather than around a removable core. For a removable core program, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the Medeco 521 in the G8R series ships less pop-out cylinder so you install your own. Use the 41/40 where a factory keying arrangement is acceptable and the core does not need to be swapped in the field.
4) What is a brass-body alternative to the ABUS 41/40 padlock with a slightly larger shackle diameter?
The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, compared with the 9/32 inch hardened shackle diameter of the ABUS 41/40. The 41/40 uses a laminated steel body with ETERNA coating on each laminate, while the Schlage uses a brass body. Both are keyed padlocks; choose the brass body where you want a non-ferrous case and the laminated steel where you want the riveted laminate construction.
5) I need a padlock that will not release the key while the shackle is open - is the ABUS 41/40 the right choice?
The ABUS 41/40 is a keyed laminated steel padlock that is self-locking, meaning it latches by pushing the shackle down without the key, but key retention is not part of its described function. If key retaining behavior is the requirement, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish. If you specifically want non-key retaining, the Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856 are both non-key retaining padlocks with stainless steel shackles.
6) I need a heavier shackle than the ABUS 41/40 offers - what are my options?
The ABUS 41/40 has a 9/32 inch hardened double-bolted shackle with 45/64 inch horizontal and 25/32 inch vertical clearance. For a thicker shackle, the Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series has a brass body with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F and Medeco 54515G both sit between at 5/16 inch. Confirm the hasp opening accepts the larger diameter before switching.
7) Is the ABUS 41 laminated padlock OK to leave outside on a gate?
It is built for outdoor exposure. Every laminate carries an ETERNA coating and each plate is individually treated for corrosion protection, so the stack does not rust apart from the edges the way bare laminated locks do. The shackle is hardened and double bolted. ABUS rates the 41 series for goods of medium value or average theft risk, so for a yard gate, a job site tool box or a storage cage it is the right class of lock; a high-value opening wants something heavier.
8) Do I need the key to lock an ABUS 41/40, or does it snap shut?
It snaps shut. The 41/40 is self-locking, so pushing the shackle down latches it without the key. That matters on a route where a driver or a tech is closing up a dozen gates or cabinets, they never have to carry the key in hand. It also means you can lock yourself out of an open gate, so crews on rounds should keep the key on them.
9) What is the difference between a laminated padlock like the ABUS 41 and a solid brass or stainless body padlock?
A laminated lock is a stack of riveted steel plates rather than one machined block. On the 41 the rivets sit concentrated in the outer laminates so the heads cannot be chipped off, and the plates are each coated for corrosion resistance. It is the cost-effective build for medium-risk openings. If you want a one-piece body, the Medeco 521 G8R is a solid stainless steel weather-tight padlock, and the Medeco 5260 is a brass body lock with a 7/16 inch shackle, noticeably thicker than the 9/32 inch shackle on the 41/40.
10) My hasp staple is too thick for a 9/32 inch shackle padlock. What else works?
If the staple will not clear a 9/32 inch shackle, step up in shackle diameter. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock uses a 5/16 inch shackle, and the Medeco 5260 brass body padlock runs 7/16 inch, which suits heavy hasps and chain. Measure the gap in the staple first, since a thicker shackle also needs a wider opening through the hasp to pass.
11) What should I use instead of the ABUS 41/40 for an exposed outdoor gate or wash-down area?
The ABUS 41/40 is built for corrosion resistance with ETERNA coating on each laminate and individually treated laminates, which suits general outdoor duty at average theft risk. Where you want a solid one-piece corrosion-resistant case instead of laminates, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, and the Medeco 54515G XT is rated for indoor and outdoor use with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter.
12) Is the Medeco 54515G a direct substitute for the ABUS 41/40 padlock?
No. The Medeco 54515G is an XT electronic padlock in the System Series, non-key retaining, with a cylinder and a 5/16 inch shackle diameter - it belongs to an access control program with audit and credential management. The ABUS 41/40 is a mechanical keyed padlock with a pin tumbler cylinder, 9/32 inch shackle and 1-47/64 inch body width. They are not interchangeable; swapping to the 54515G means adopting the electronic system.
13) For a multi-family property keying padlocks into an existing master key system, how does the ABUS 41/40 compare to the Medeco 5260?
The ABUS 41/40 is available keyed alike, keyed different, or master keyed, so a property can order a set that matches across storage rooms, gates and meter cabinets on one key plan. The Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock built on M3 key technology, which ties the padlock into that Medeco key system instead. Match whichever platform the rest of the property's cylinders already use.
14) Will the key come out of the ABUS 41/40 while it is unlocked?
Yes, the 41/40 is not key retaining, so the key withdraws whether the shackle is open or closed. Combined with the self-locking shackle, a tech can pocket the key the moment the lock is open. If your procedure requires the key to stay captive until the lock is closed again (common on lockout and on doors where a lost open lock is a problem), you want a key retaining lock instead, such as the Sargent 758.
15) Is the ABUS 41/40 a commercial grade padlock or a consumer one?
It is classed for commercial use and made in Germany. ABUS positions the 41 series for property of medium value or average theft risk, which in practice covers gates, storage rooms, cages, tool cribs and equipment on multi-family and light commercial sites. For higher-risk openings or anything requiring an electronic audit trail, a different class of lock applies, such as the Medeco 54515G XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock.
