ABUS 55/30 KA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How wide is the ABUS 55/30 padlock body, and is it small enough for a locker or a cabinet hasp?
Body width on the 55/30 is 1-9/64 inch, which is a compact size that clears the tight hasps found on lockers, tool boxes, and cabinet doors. ABUS lists exactly those uses for it, along with cellar windows, sheds, gates, switchgear, and barriers. On a gate or an exterior door where you want a lock that fills a heavy hasp, step up to a larger body.
2) Should I order the ABUS 55/30 keyed alike or keyed different?
Two keying choices: KA (keyed alike) and KD (keyed different). Keyed alike means every lock in the order opens with the same key, which is what you want when one maintenance tech has to reach twenty cabinets, meters, or gates on a route. Keyed different gives each lock its own key, for lockers or tenant storage where each person controls only their own. Order keyed alike as one batch, since locks bought at different times are not guaranteed to share a key change.
3) What should I use instead of the ABUS 55/30 on an outdoor gate that stays wet?
The Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, built for standing exposure. The ABUS 55/30 is a solid brass body with internal components made of non-corrosive materials and a hardened steel shackle, and its exterior is protected from wind and weather, which covers gates, sheds, and basement windows. For an opening that sits in constant weather or washdown, the stainless-body Medeco 521 is the heavier answer; for general outdoor gate and shed duty, the brass 55/30 is built for it.
4) What is a brass-body padlock alternative to the ABUS 55/30 that takes a removable core for a master key system?
The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, so it accepts an interchangeable core and can be pulled into an existing Sargent keying system. The ABUS 55/30 is a solid brass body padlock with a precision pin tumbler cylinder that is fixed in the lock, and it is ordered keyed alike or keyed different rather than cored. For a facility standardizing padlocks on the same core as the door hardware, the cored Sargent is the direct route.
5) Is there a brass padlock with a thicker shackle than the ABUS 55/30?
Yes. The ABUS 55/30 uses a 13/64 inch hardened steel shackle on a 1-9/64 inch wide brass body. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock uses a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, and the Medeco 5260 brass body padlock uses a 7/16 inch shackle diameter. Where a hasp is prepped for a heavier shackle, or the opening calls for more shackle section than 13/64 inch, those are the brass-body options that carry it.
6) I need to log who opened a padlock. Does the ABUS 55/30 do that?
No. The ABUS 55/30 is a mechanical padlock with a precision pin tumbler cylinder and mushroom counter pins, keyed alike or keyed different. If the requirement is electronic access control on the padlock itself, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and a cylinder. That is a different class of product from the 55/30, not a keying variation of it.
7) Do I have to turn the key to lock an ABUS 55/30, or does it snap shut?
It's self-locking. Push the shackle down and it locks, no key needed. That matters if you are handing locks to staff or contractors who close up behind themselves, because nobody has to carry the key to secure the opening. Inside is a precision pin tumbler cylinder with mushroom counter pins.
8) Does the key come out of an ABUS 55/30 while the lock is open, or is it key retaining?
The 55/30 locks without the key by pushing the shackle down, so the key is not held captive to secure it. If you specifically need a key retaining padlock, one where the key cannot be withdrawn until the lock is closed so it never gets left hanging on an open gate, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining padlock in a US4 satin brass finish. The Sargent 858 and the 82-856 are the non-key-retaining versions.
9) What other brass padlocks could I use instead of the ABUS 55/30, and how do they differ?
Two brass-body alternatives worth knowing. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle, and the Medeco 5260 from the 52 Series has a brass body with a 7/16 inch shackle and M3 key technology in satin chrome. Both carry a thicker shackle than the 55/30's 13/64 inch, so they suit a heavier hasp but will not pass through a tight staple or a small chain link the way the ABUS will. Check the hole first, then pick.
10) Which brass padlock has a larger case than the ABUS 55/30 for a wide hasp?
The ABUS 55/30 body measures 1-9/64 inch wide, with 19/32 inch horizontal shackle clearance and 33/64 inch vertical clearance. The Sargent 82-856 has a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case with a stainless steel shackle. Where a hasp staple is too wide for the 19/32 inch opening under the 55/30 shackle, measure it against the larger Sargent case before ordering.
11) Does a Sargent 858 padlock replace an ABUS 55/30 one for one?
Not as a drop-in. The Sargent 858 is a non-key retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in a US4 satin brass finish, on Sargent's 858 series and keying. The ABUS 55/30 is a solid brass body with a 13/64 inch hardened steel shackle, keyed on ABUS cylinders and ordered keyed alike or keyed different. They can serve the same hasp, but the keys are not interchangeable and the shackle sections differ, so a mixed fleet means two key sets unless you re-standardize.
12) What is the closest equivalent to the ABUS 55/30 if I am already standardized on Medeco keys?
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, so it keys into a Medeco M3 system. The ABUS 55/30 is a brass body padlock on an ABUS precision pin tumbler cylinder, ordered keyed alike or keyed different. Both are brass body locks for the same kind of cabinet, locker, and gate duty; the deciding factor is which key system the site already runs.
13) Is the ABUS 55 brass padlock rated for commercial use or is it a residential lock?
Commercial. ABUS positions the 55 series as basic protection, meaning it is a deterrent lock for securing cabinets, lockers, tool boxes, switchgear, and loop cables rather than a high-security lock for an exposed exterior opening. For a property manager standardizing across storage rooms and equipment cabinets that is usually the right level. Where the opening is the primary security on a building, specify a heavier lock.
14) Can I use the ABUS 55/30 with a cable to secure equipment instead of a hasp?
Yes, ABUS lists Cobra loop cables as an intended use for the 55 brass padlock. The shackle clearance is 19/32 inch horizontal by 33/64 inch vertical, so the cable ends or eyelets you loop through need to fit inside that. Same check applies to securing a barrier or a gate chain.
