ABUS 55/40HB63 C-KA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the ABUS 55/40HB63 padlock fit through my hasp or chain?
The shackle on the 55/40HB63 is 1/4 inch in diameter, with 53/64 inch of horizontal clearance and 2-31/64 inch of vertical clearance inside the shackle. That 53/64 inch horizontal opening is the number that decides it: your hasp staple, chain link, or cable loop has to pass through that gap. The tall 2-31/64 inch vertical clearance is what lets it reach over thick hasps, gate chain, and shed latches that a standard-height shackle will not clear.
2) Can I get ABUS 55/40HB63 padlocks all on one key for a property?
Yes. The 55/40HB63 is offered keyed alike (KA) or keyed different (KD). Keyed alike gets you one key opening every lock, which is what most property managers and maintenance crews want across gates, meters, storage cages and tool boxes. Keyed different gives each lock its own key for tenant lockers or separate contractors. Pick the keying on the order, since the two are not interchangeable after the fact.
3) Is a brass padlock a good choice for outdoor gates and exposed equipment?
Brass is the reason to pick this one. The 55 Series body is solid brass, the shackle is hardened steel, and the internal components are made of non-corrosive materials, so it holds up outdoors where a plain steel-body lock rusts shut. ABUS calls out gates, basement windows, sheds, switchgear and barriers as intended uses. If you want a stainless body instead of brass for washdown or coastal exposure, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body.
4) Is the ABUS 55 brass padlock strong enough for a commercial property, or do I need a higher-security lock?
ABUS classes the 55 Series as basic protection, and it is catalogued for commercial use. That is the right level for cabinets, lockers, tool boxes, basement windows and low-risk gates. For an opening that is a real theft target, or for a facility standardizing on one key system, step up: the Sargent 758 and 858 Series padlocks are built around the Sargent key system, the Sargent 60-858-2 takes a removable core so you can rekey in the field, and the Medeco 5260 uses M3 key technology in a brass body.
5) What is the closest brass-body padlock to the ABUS 55/40HB63 if I need a larger shackle diameter?
The ABUS 55/40HB63 is a solid brass padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-1/2 inch body width. If the hasp or chain you are locking needs a thicker shackle, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is also a brass padlock and carries a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, and the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter in satin chrome. All three keep a brass body; the difference is how much steel passes through the hasp opening, so confirm the hasp eye will accept the larger diameter before you switch.
6) I need a padlock that takes our existing interchangeable core keying instead of a factory cylinder. What should I use instead of the ABUS 55/40HB63?
The ABUS 55/40HB63 is a keyed padlock built around a precision pin tumbler cylinder inside the brass body, and it is ordered keyed alike or keyed different rather than cored to a site system. If you need the lock to accept your own core, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which lets you pin it into an existing Sargent core program rather than managing a separate key.
7) Will the ABUS 55/40HB63 stay locked on the hasp when I open it, or does the key come out?
The ABUS 55/40HB63 is self-locking, meaning it locks without the key by pushing the shackle down, and the key is used to open it. If your facility policy requires the key to stay captive in the lock while it is open so it cannot be walked off, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining padlock in a US4 satin brass finish. If you specifically want the key free once the lock is open, the Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856 are both non-key-retaining, the 82-856 using a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case with a stainless steel shackle.
8) Does the ABUS 55/40HB63 lock automatically when you close it, or do you need the key?
It is self-locking. Push the shackle down and it latches without turning a key, so a crew closing a gate or a cabinet cannot leave it hanging open by accident. You only need the key to open it. The cylinder is a precision pin tumbler with mushroom counter pins, which resist raking and picking.
9) How does the ABUS 55/40HB63 compare to the Schlage KS23 brass padlock?
Both are brass-body padlocks, but the shackle sizes differ. The ABUS 55/40HB63 uses a 1/4 inch shackle on a 1-1/2 inch body; the Schlage KS23D/KS23F carries a 5/16 inch shackle and belongs to Schlage's 20 Series, so it keys into a Schlage system. If your building is already on Schlage keys, the KS23 is the one that matches. If you want a standalone lock with a raised shackle and a self-locking brass body, the ABUS is the pick.
10) Will the ABUS 55/40HB63 work with a security cable for bikes, ladders or equipment?
Yes. ABUS lists Cobra loop cables as an intended use for the 55 Series, and the shackle gives 53/64 inch of horizontal clearance to pass a cable loop through. For a fleet of cable-secured items, order keyed alike so one key covers them all.
11) Can I get an audit trail or electronic access on a padlock like the ABUS 55/40HB63?
No. The ABUS 55/40HB63 is a mechanical keyed padlock with a pin tumbler cylinder, so it gives you basic protection with a metal key and no electronic record. If you need credential-based control on a padlock, the Medeco 54515G is an XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included. That is a different class of hardware and a different key program, not a drop-in for a mechanical brass lock.
12) We want every padlock across a property to open with one key. Does the ABUS 55/40HB63 do that, or do I need to move to a different line?
The ABUS 55/40HB63 is sold keyed alike so a set of locks opens on a common key, and also keyed different where each lock needs its own key, which covers most multi-unit storage, locker, and gate programs. If instead you want the padlocks folded into an existing facility master key system, a cored lock such as the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock lets your locksmith drop in the same core family used on the doors.
