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 70IB/45 KA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the ABUS 70 brass padlock OK outdoors in salt air and rain?
That's what the 70 series is built for. The body is solid brass with a protective cap and drainage channels that keep water and dirt out of the mechanism, and the internal components are rust-free materials. ABUS markets it as a marine lock for exactly this reason. The steel shackle is hardened and fully sleeved in impact-resistant plastic, which also stops the lock marking a boat hull, gate, or painted door when it swings.
2) Can I get ABUS 70IB/45 padlocks all on one key for a property?
Keying is the choice you make when you order. The 70IB/45 comes keyed alike (one key opens every lock in the set), keyed different (each lock its own key), or master keyed (individual keys plus a single master that opens them all). For a property manager putting locks on a run of gates, sheds, or meter boxes, keyed alike means one key on the truck. If maintenance staff need access to everything but tenants only to their own unit, master keyed is the one to specify.
3) I need padlocks that take our facility's interchangeable core. Is the ABUS 70IB/45 the right lock?
No. The 70IB/45 is a fixed-cylinder padlock with its own paracentric ABUS key profile, so it can't be brought onto an existing SFIC or removable-core system. For that, look at the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless shackle, which is built to accept your core. If you're standardizing on an electronic credential instead, the Medeco 54515G XT is an indoor/outdoor electronic padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle.
4) What is the closest brass-body padlock to the ABUS 70IB/45 with the same 5/16 inch 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 70IB/45 carries. Both are brass-bodied locks in that shackle size, so a hasp or chain link that accepts one accepts the other. The difference is in the ABUS 70IB/45's construction for wet exposure - the brass body is sealed with a protective cap and drainage channels, and the hardened steel shackle is fully encased in impact-resistant plastic so it does not mark adjacent surfaces when it swings. If the opening is a dry interior locker or cabinet and the plastic shackle sleeve is not needed, the Schlage 20 Series padlock covers the same shackle size.
5) Which padlock should be used instead of the ABUS 70IB/45 when a thicker shackle is required?
The Medeco 5260, from the 52 Series, is a brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter. The ABUS 70IB/45 uses a 5/16 inch shackle, so the Medeco 5260 steps the shackle up while staying on a brass body. Check the hasp or chain first - a 7/16 inch shackle will not pass through an opening drilled for a 5/16 inch one. The Medeco 5260 is finished in satin chrome and uses M3 key technology, where the ABUS 70IB/45 runs a paracentric key profile on a precision pin cylinder.
6) What is the alternative to the ABUS 70IB/45 for a marine or coastal opening that needs a stainless steel body instead of brass?
The Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder. The ABUS 70IB/45 handles the same wet exposure a different way - a solid brass body sealed with a protective cap and drainage channels, corrosion-resistant interior components, and a hardened steel shackle sleeved in impact-resistant plastic to protect adjacent surfaces. Choose the Medeco 521 G8R when the specification calls for a stainless body and you are supplying the cylinder separately; choose the ABUS 70IB/45 when you want a complete keyed lock with the plastic shackle sleeve.
7) For a facility standardizing on an interchangeable core keying system, what replaces the ABUS 70IB/45?
The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which lets a facility key the padlock into the same core system used on its door cylinders and rekey by swapping the core. The ABUS 70IB/45 is a fixed-cylinder lock with a precision pin cylinder and paracentric key profile, ordered keyed alike, keyed different, or master keyed at the time of purchase. If the requirement is that the maintenance team can pull and replace cores in the field, the Sargent 60-858-2 meets it; if the padlocks are simply keyed to a schedule and left alone, the ABUS 70IB/45 master keyed option covers it.
8) How much security does an ABUS 70 padlock actually give? Is it enough for a jobsite gate?
ABUS positions the 70 for goods of medium value or an average theft risk, not for high-value or high-exposure applications. It's double bolted (the shackle locks on both legs, so cutting one side won't release it) and uses a precision pin cylinder with a paracentric keyway that resists picking. For a tool box, locker, cellar window, switch box, shed, or a chain on a gate, that's the right class of lock. If you're securing high-value stock at an unattended site, step up rather than relying on this one.
9) Does the ABUS 70IB/45 lock without the key, or do you have to key it shut?
It's self-locking. Push the shackle down and it latches, no key needed. Handy when you're closing up a gate or a locker with your hands full, but it also means you can lock the key inside if you aren't paying attention. Crews sharing a keyed-alike set usually find this the faster way to work.
10) Brass padlock or stainless steel padlock for a marine or wash-down application?
Brass, like the ABUS 70 body, doesn't rust and takes salt exposure well, and on the 70 the mechanism is additionally sealed with a cap and drain channels. Stainless bodies are the other route for the same environment: ZenSupply carries the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body if you want steel rather than brass. The Medeco 5260 is another brass-body option, in the 52 Series, with a heavier 7/16 inch shackle if you want more cut resistance than the 5/16 inch shackle on the ABUS.
11) Does the key stay in the ABUS 70 padlock while it's unlocked, or can staff walk off with it?
The 70IB/45 is not a key-retaining lock, so the key comes out whether the lock is open or shut. That's what you want for a padlock you carry around or hand between crews. If your procedure requires the key to be captive until the lock is closed (common in institutional and utility settings so a lock never gets left hanging open), the Sargent 758 is a key-retaining padlock in satin brass. Its 858 counterpart is the non-key-retaining version of the same lock.
12) What is the difference between a key retaining padlock and the ABUS 70IB/45, and when does that matter?
A key retaining padlock will not release the key while the shackle is open - the Sargent 758 is built that way. The Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856 are non-key-retaining, so the key comes out with the lock open. The ABUS 70IB/45 is self-locking: the shackle can be closed without the key by pushing it down. On a gate or locker where the concern is a key left hanging in an open lock, the Sargent 758 forces the key to stay put; where crews open and close the same padlock repeatedly through a shift, the self-locking action of the ABUS 70IB/45 lets them secure the opening with the key already in a pocket.
13) Does the Medeco 54515G XT substitute for the ABUS 70IB/45?
No - they solve different problems despite both being indoor/outdoor padlocks with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter. The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic padlock from the System Series, supplied with a cylinder, and it belongs in an audited access system where openings are tracked and credentials are issued and revoked. The ABUS 70IB/45 is a mechanical brass padlock with a precision pin cylinder and paracentric key profile, keyed alike, keyed different, or master keyed. If there is no electronic key system in place to program it against, the Medeco 54515G XT is not a drop-in for a mechanically keyed lock.
14) Which brass-cased padlock has a larger case than the ABUS 70IB/45 for a heavy hasp?
The Sargent 82-856 has a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case with a stainless steel shackle. The ABUS 70IB/45 body measures 1-59/64 inches wide, with 25/32 inch horizontal shackle clearance and 15/16 inch vertical shackle clearance. Where a hasp staple sits recessed or a shrouded hasp needs the body to bridge a wider gap, measure against those clearances first - the ABUS 70IB/45 numbers tell you exactly what will pass through, and the Sargent 82-856 case gives you a slightly broader footprint on the same brass material.
15) What is the simpler option if the ABUS 70IB/45 plastic shackle sleeve gets in the way?
The Sargent 858 is a non-key-retaining padlock with a bare stainless steel shackle in a US4 satin brass finish, and the Sargent 758 is the key retaining version in the same US4 satin brass. The ABUS 70IB/45 shackle is a hardened steel shackle fully encased in tough plastic, which is there to keep the lock from marking adjacent surfaces as it swings. That sleeve adds thickness at the shackle, so on a tight hasp eye or a close-tolerance chain link, an uncoated stainless shackle like the Sargent 858 passes where a sleeved one may not.
16) Will an ABUS 70 padlock scratch a boat rail, a painted gate, or a powder-coated cabinet?
The shackle is fully encased in tough plastic and the lock carries a shock-absorbing plastic casing, both there to protect the surface the lock swings against. On a boat, a gate that gets blown about, or a finished cabinet door, that's the difference between a clean surface and a ring of chipped paint after a season. Worth noting when you're choosing between this and a bare-metal padlock for anything with a finish you care about.
17) Is the ABUS 70IB/45 a commercial-grade padlock or a homeowner lock?
It's classed as commercial hardware, and the application list is commercial in character: chains, gates, lockers, tool boxes, switch boxes, cellar windows, sheds. The double-bolted shackle and paracentric keyway are commercial features, and the keyed alike and master keyed options exist so a facility can run it in quantity rather than as a one-off.
