ABUS Padlock brass 70

Padlock 70 made from brass is particularly suitable for use in extreme weather and environmental conditions.

  • Solid brass lock body
  • Suitable for outdoor use
  • Shock-absorbing plastic casing protects sensitive surfaces

MARINE LOCK

Padlock 70 made from brass is particularly suitable for use in extreme weather and environmental conditions.

With our robust brass lock 70 you can secure your valuables with chains, on doors, gates, on cabinets, lockers, in tool boxes, sheds, and more, even under extreme weather conditions. We recommend using it to secure objects of medium value or items at a moderate risk of theft. The 70 padlock consists of a solid brass body, which, thanks to a special protective cap and drainage channels, protects the lock from being penetrated by dirt and splashing water. The interior is made of corrosion-resistant materials. The steel shackle is fully encased in a tough, impact-resistant plastic, which protects adjacent surfaces. Because especially at sea, depending on the weather conditions, a padlock may swing to and fro.

Technology:

  • Solid lock body made from brass
  • Shackle made from hardened steel with plastic sleeve
  • Sealed lock body with special protective cap and drainage channels to protect the locking mechanism from water and dirt
  • Shock-absorbing plastic casing protects sensitive surfaces
  • Double bolted
  • Precision pin cylinder
  • Paracentric key profile for increased protection against manipulation
  • Inner components made from rust-free materials
  • Self-locking: lock without the key by pushing down the shackle

Operation and use:

  • Security for items/goods of medium value or where there is an average risk of theft
  • For securing chains, doors, gates, cupboards, lockers, tool boxes, cellar windows, sheds, switch boxes, etc.
  • Also suitable for outdoor use

ABUS 70/45HB63-KA-YE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is a brass padlock like the ABUS 70 series good for outdoor and coastal use, or should I use stainless steel?
Brass is the right call for wet and salt-air exposure, and the ABUS 70 is built specifically for it: solid brass body, internal components made from rust-free materials, and a sealed body with a protective cap plus drainage channels so water and grit do not sit in the mechanism. ABUS calls it a marine lock. The steel shackle is fully sleeved in impact-resistant plastic, which keeps it from marking gates, boat fittings, or painted surfaces when it swings. If you want an all-metal body with no plastic on it, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body.
2) Can I get ABUS 70/45HB63 padlocks all keyed to one key for a property?
Yes. The 70/45HB63 is sold keyed alike (KA) or keyed different (KD). Keyed alike is what you want across a fleet of gates, meters, sheds, or storage units so a tech carries one key for every lock on the route. Keyed different gives each lock its own key, which is what you use for tenant storage or anywhere one holder should not open another's lock. Pick the keying at the time you order, because you cannot change it later without recombinating the cylinder.
3) Can I put the ABUS 70/45HB63 on an interchangeable core system with the rest of my building keys?
No. The 70/45HB63 uses a fixed precision pin cylinder with an ABUS paracentric keyway, and it ships keyed alike or keyed different on ABUS keys. It will not accept a small format or large format interchangeable core, so it cannot join a facility masterkey system that runs on removable cores. If that is the requirement, look at a removable core padlock such as the Sargent 60-858-2, or the Medeco 54515G, which takes a cylinder.
4) What is the closest brass-body padlock to the ABUS 70/45HB63 with the same shackle diameter?
The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is the nearest match on both counts: it is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, the same shackle diameter the ABUS 70/45HB63 carries. Both put a brass body around a 5/16 inch shackle, so a hasp or chain link sized for one accepts the other. The ABUS 70/45HB63 differs in that its steel shackle is fully encased in impact-resistant plastic and its body is sealed with a protective cap and drainage channels to keep water and dirt out of the mechanism.
5) For a marina or coastal gate, what padlock should be used instead of a brass-bodied one?
Where the body itself needs to be stainless rather than brass, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less the pop-out cylinder. The ABUS 70/45HB63 takes a different approach to the same exposure: a solid brass body sealed with a protective cap and drainage channels, corrosion-resistant interior components, and a hardened steel shackle sleeved in plastic so the lock does not mar adjacent surfaces as it swings. Choose the G8R when a stainless body is specified; choose the 70/45HB63 when a self-locking brass lock with a surface-protecting shackle suits the opening.
6) What padlock takes an interchangeable core instead of a fixed cylinder like the ABUS 70/45HB63?
The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, so it accepts a core from a facility's existing small format system and can be rekeyed by pulling the core. The ABUS 70/45HB63 uses a precision pin cylinder with a paracentric key profile built into the lock, and is ordered keyed alike or keyed different rather than cored in the field. On a campus already standardized on interchangeable cores, the 60-858-2 keeps the padlocks on the same key system as the doors; the 70/45HB63 suits openings keyed as their own group.
7) Which padlock keeps the key captive when the lock is open, and does the ABUS 70/45HB63 do that?
The Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, meaning the key cannot be withdrawn while the shackle is open. The ABUS 70/45HB63 is self-locking instead: it closes without the key by pushing the shackle down. On a locker or tool box run where a crew must not walk off with the key in hand, the key retaining 758 is the one that enforces it. Note that the Sargent 858 is the non-key-retaining member of that family, with a stainless steel shackle and US4 satin brass finish.
8) Does the ABUS 70/45HB63 lock automatically when you close it, or do you need the key?
Push the shackle down and it locks, no key needed. That is the behavior you want on a gate or a locker someone secures with their hands full. The key is only for opening. Inside, it is double bolted, meaning the shackle is held on both legs rather than just the heel, and it uses a precision pin cylinder with a paracentric keyway, a narrow zigzag profile that makes picking harder by leaving less room for tools alongside the key.
9) Is the ABUS 70 brass padlock enough security for a jobsite gate or a construction storage container?
ABUS positions the 70 for items of medium value or an average theft risk. That covers gates, tool boxes, cellar windows, switch boxes, cabinets, and lockers. For a container holding high-value tooling overnight in an exposed spot, the 5/16 inch shackle is the limiting factor, and you would step up to a shrouded or high-security body. If the driver is key control rather than raw body strength, a high-security cylinder padlock like the Sargent 858 with its stainless steel shackle or the Medeco 5260 with M3 key technology is the direction to go.
10) What is the difference between the ABUS 70/45HB63 and the Schlage KS23 brass padlock?
Both are brass-body padlocks with a 5/16 inch shackle, so they hang in the same hasps. The difference is the shackle itself: the 70/45HB63 has a long shackle with 2-31/64 inch of vertical clearance and a plastic sleeve over the steel, which is what makes it a marine lock and what keeps it from scratching whatever it swings against. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a Schlage 20 Series brass padlock, so it takes Schlage keying, which matters if the rest of the building is already on a Schlage system and you want the padlocks on the same key.
11) What brass padlock has a thicker shackle than the ABUS 70/45HB63 for a higher-risk opening?
The Medeco 5260, a 52 Series brass body padlock in satin chrome, carries a 7/16 inch shackle diameter against the 5/16 inch shackle on the ABUS 70/45HB63, and uses M3 key technology. The heavier shackle needs a hasp or chain link opening sized for 7/16 inch, so confirm the hasp before substituting. The ABUS 70/45HB63 is specified for goods of medium value or an average risk of theft, with a 1-59/64 inch body width, 25/32 inch horizontal shackle clearance and 2-31/64 inch vertical clearance.
12) Is there an electronic padlock that can replace a mechanical brass one on an outdoor gate?
The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included, from the System Series. It matches the 5/16 inch shackle diameter of the ABUS 70/45HB63, so it drops into the same hasp, but it is an electronic access product that carries audit and credential management rather than a mechanical key. The 70/45HB63 is a mechanical brass lock with a precision pin cylinder and paracentric key profile, keyed alike or keyed different.
13) What padlock fits a facility standardized on a high security key system rather than a standard brass lock?
The Sargent 82-856 is a non-key retaining padlock in the KESO Series with a 2 by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle, which puts the padlock on a KESO key system across a facility. The ABUS 70/45HB63 is a brass commercial padlock with a precision pin cylinder and paracentric key profile, ordered keyed alike or keyed different, and is intended for goods of medium value or an average risk of theft. Where the specification calls for the padlocks to sit on the same high security system as the rest of the openings, the 82-856 is the one that does it.
14) Will a stainless shackle padlock protect painted or polished surfaces the way the ABUS 70/45HB63 does?
No. The Sargent 858 and Sargent 60-858-2 both use bare stainless steel shackles, and the Medeco 521 G8R has a solid stainless steel body. The ABUS 70/45HB63 is the one that encases its hardened steel shackle in a tough impact-resistant plastic sleeve, specifically so a swinging lock does not mark the door, gate, or cabinet face it hangs against. On polished, painted, or glass-front work where a swinging lock will contact a finished surface, that plastic sleeve is the differentiator.
15) Does the ABUS 70/45HB63 come with a cylinder, or does it need one ordered separately?
The ABUS 70/45HB63 ships as a complete lock with a precision pin cylinder and paracentric key profile built in, supplied with key and ordered keyed alike or keyed different. That is not true across the comparable padlocks: the Medeco 521 G8R is supplied less the pop-out cylinder, and the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock that needs a core to function. The Medeco 54515G XT does include its cylinder. If a job needs padlocks that work out of the carton without a cylinder or core order behind them, the 70/45HB63 is the straightforward choice.
16) Will the plastic sleeve on the ABUS 70 shackle scratch a boat rail or a painted gate?
That sleeve is there to prevent exactly that. The hardened steel shackle is fully encased in tough, impact-resistant plastic, and the body carries a shock-absorbing plastic casing, so a lock swinging against a rail, a painted gate, or gelcoat does not mark it. Bear in mind the sleeve adds to the effective shackle thickness, so size your hasp opening against the 25/32 inch horizontal clearance rather than the bare 5/16 inch shackle diameter.
17) Is the ABUS 70/45HB63 padlock rated for commercial use?
It is a commercial-duty lock, not a residential throwaway. The brass body, sealed mechanism with drainage channels, and rust-free internals are what let it hold up on gates, switch boxes, and outdoor cabinets that get opened daily in the weather. For MRO and property fleets, order it keyed alike so one key covers the route.
