ABUS 41/50HB125 Laminated Steel Padlock with Key, 23/64" Shackle diam., 2 3/32" Width

Two keying options are offered. Keyed alike means every lock you order operates on the same key, which is what a property manager wants when one maintenance tech needs to open gates, sheds and utility cabinets across a site with a single key. Keyed different gives each padlock its own unique key, so a tenant or department holds access to only their own lock. Decide this before you order, since the two are not interchangeable after the fact.

The ABUS 41/50HB125 uses a precision pin tumbler cylinder and is ordered keyed alike or keyed different, so it is not a removable core lock. If the padlock has to accept your facility core, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle from the 758/858 series. That lets the padlock key into the same core system as the rest of the openings rather than carrying its own separate key.

The 41/50HB125 is self-locking - it closes by pushing the shackle down without the key - and it is supplied with keys in keyed alike or keyed different. For a padlock specified as key retaining, so the key cannot be removed while the shackle is open, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish. Its counterpart, the Sargent 858, is the non-key-retaining version with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass.

No. The ABUS 41/50HB125 is a mechanical padlock with a precision pin tumbler cylinder and a key, available keyed alike or keyed different. If you need electronic credentialing rather than a mechanical key, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included. Use the ABUS where a straightforward keyed lock is acceptable and the XT where the padlock has to be managed electronically.

The ABUS 41/50HB125 is a laminated steel padlock with a 9 mm shackle diameter and a 53 mm body width, built with ETERNA coated laminates and a hardened double-bolted shackle, and it self-locks when the shackle is pushed down without the key. The Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in a satin chrome finish. The choice comes down to laminated steel construction with a pin tumbler cylinder versus a solid brass body on a Medeco high-security key system, and to shackle gauge - the Medeco shackle is the thicker of the two.

The ABUS 41/50HB125 gets its corrosion resistance from ETERNA coating applied to each individual laminate, with the rivets concentrated in the outer laminates so the rivet heads are protected, and the shackle is hardened and double bolted. The Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder. So the ABUS is a coated laminated steel body ready to use with its own keys, while the G8R is a one-piece stainless body that needs a cylinder added to complete it.

Yes. The 41/50HB125 is built from laminated steel with an ETERNA coating applied to each individual laminate for corrosion resistance, and the laminates are treated individually rather than just the outer shell. It's rated by ABUS for securing goods of medium value or at average risk of theft, which puts it in the range of yard gates, storage sheds, tool cribs and site containers rather than high-security applications.

It's self-locking. Push the shackle down and it latches without the key, so a crew closing up a gate or cabinet doesn't have to carry the key just to secure it. The key is only needed to open it.

Laminated steel is a layered body, and the 41/50HB125 addresses corrosion with an ETERNA coating on each laminate. If you want a solid one-piece body instead, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body. For a brass body, the Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series has a 7/16 inch shackle and a satin chrome finish, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle. Note the Medeco 521 G8R ships less its pop-out cylinder, so you'd be supplying that separately.

They serve the same purpose but are built differently. The ABUS 41/50HB125 is a laminated steel commercial padlock with a 9 mm shackle diameter and a 53 mm wide body. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a 20 Series brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter. Check the hasp eye and staple clearance before swapping, since the shackle gauges differ and the ABUS body is the wider of the two.

The ABUS 41/50HB125 is a commercial laminated steel padlock built around a precision pin tumbler cylinder, suited to securing goods of medium value or at average risk of theft. If the padlocks have to key into a high-security platform, the Sargent 82-856 is a KESO series non-key-retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle, and the Medeco 5260 runs M3 key technology in a 52 Series brass body. Those tie the padlock to a restricted key system rather than a standard pin tumbler key.

The ABUS 41/50HB125 has a 9 mm shackle diameter and a 53 mm wide body with a hardened, double bolted shackle. For a longer reach through a heavy hasp or chain link, the Sargent 858 series padlocks are offered with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, including the removable core 60-858-2. Confirm the staple opening will still clear the shackle gauge before ordering.

It's classified for commercial use and made in Germany. That matters for MRO and institutional buyers standardizing a padlock across a portfolio: ordering the keyed alike version lets you carry one key for a whole site, and the same model can be repeated as openings are added.
