Plastic-Covered Aluminum Core Padlock 74

Strong mixture: Secure your valuables in especially hot environments as well as near electrical equipment with this aluminum lock with synthetic coating.

SAFETY LOCK

The Safety Lock 74 supplements communication between your employees before and during maintenance work and ensures a high level of transparency in the workflow.

The 74 Safety lock helps to protect your employees in several ways - for one, because it follows the golden rule of "one lock - one key - one operator" and thus provides a high level of security. It also has the key-retaining feature that means the key can only be pulled out when the padlock is fully locked. Only a fully closed lock is truly secure. The 74 also makes it easy to organize and plan locking systems. The ten colors of the Safety Lock 74 also virtually eliminates the possibility of mixing up keys or assignments in the team. In addition to the different colors, our high-quality and clearly legible laser engravings can make it clear which person or purpose is assigned to the individual padlock.

Technology:

  • Solid aluminum core with steel shackle for best physical strength
  • Body and shackle insulated against electric shock
  • NANO-PROTECT™ shackle for superior corrosion resistance
  • Intrinsically safe, key retaining
  • Automatic locking for user convenience
  • Compact and lightweight
  • High precision 6-pin cylinder for better tamper resistance

ABUS 74/40HB75-BLK-KD – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an ABUS 74/40HB75 padlock fit a hasp with a 3-inch clearance gap?
The 74/40HB75 has a 75mm vertical shackle clearance, just under 3 inches, with 19mm of horizontal clearance between the shackle legs. That is enough to reach through a tall hasp staple or a lockout hasp with several holes stacked, but if your opening genuinely needs a full 3 inches of vertical reach you are at the edge of it. The shackle itself is 7 mm diameter, so the hole it passes through has to be larger than that.
2) Is the ABUS 74 aluminum padlock safe to use for electrical lockout/tagout?
That is what the 74 is built for. The body and shackle are insulated against electric shock by the synthetic coating over the aluminum core, and ABUS describes it as intrinsically safe. It is key retaining, so the key cannot be withdrawn until the lock is fully closed on the energy isolation device, which is the behaviour a LOTO program depends on: no key in a worker's pocket unless their lock is actually locked.
3) How many keying options does the ABUS 74/40HB75 come in, and which one do I want for a lockout program?
Three: keyed different, keyed alike, and master keyed. For lockout/tagout, keyed different is the one you want, because the golden rule is one lock, one key, one operator, and every worker's lock has to be unopenable by anyone else. Keyed alike suits a crew or a department that shares access to the same set of points. Master keyed gives a supervisor a single override key over locks that are otherwise unique, which is how most facilities handle removing a forgotten lock at shift end.
4) Will an aluminum padlock hold up outdoors on a gate or a yard cabinet?
The 74/40HB75 is rated weather resistant, with a NANO-PROTECT steel shackle for corrosion resistance and a synthetic coating over the aluminum body. It also handles hot environments, which is where an aluminum core beats a laminated steel lock. That said, a 7 mm shackle and a 40mm body is a lightweight lock, not a high-security one. For an exposed exterior gate where the lock is the only thing between a thief and your material, a solid stainless steel body padlock such as the Medeco 521 G8R is the heavier answer.
5) What is the difference between the ABUS 74 safety padlock and a standard brass security padlock?
Different jobs. The 74/40HB75 is a lockout lock: aluminum core with an insulating plastic coating, ten colors for identification, key retaining so the key stays captive until the lock is closed. It is meant to protect a person working on isolated equipment. A brass body padlock like the Schlage KS23D/KS23F or the Medeco 5260 with its 7/16 inch shackle is a security lock, built to resist attack on a gate, cage or storage door, with no color coding and no electrical insulation. Buy the 74 for LOTO and the brass body for keeping people out.
6) I need padlocks that take our facility's interchangeable cores. Does the ABUS 74/40HB75 do that?
No. The 74/40HB75 uses a fixed 5-pin cylinder in the lock body. It can be rekeyed, but there is no core to pull. If you are standardized on small format interchangeable core and want every padlock on the site to take the same core as your doors, the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle is the one to look at instead.
7) What is the closest alternative to the ABUS 74/40HB75 padlock if the opening needs a solid metal body instead of a plastic-covered aluminum core?
The ABUS 74/40HB75 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 40 mm body width, 7 mm shackle diameter and 75 mm vertical shackle clearance, with the body and shackle insulated against electric shock. Where a solid metal body is wanted instead, the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock has a solid stainless steel body, and the Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series has a brass body with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter in a satin chrome finish. Both drop the insulated synthetic coating that makes the 74 suited to work near electrical equipment.
8) Which padlock should be used instead of the ABUS 74/40HB75 when the key must come out while the lock is open?
The ABUS 74/40HB75 is key retaining - the key can only be pulled out when the padlock is fully locked, which is the behavior lockout procedure depends on. For an application that needs the key removable in the open position, the Sargent 858 is a non-key retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in US4 satin brass, the Sargent 82-856 is non-key retaining with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle, and the Medeco 54515G XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock is non-key retaining with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter. Retaining and non-retaining are opposite behaviors, so confirm which one the procedure calls for before ordering.
9) What padlock works with a facility that is standardized on interchangeable cores rather than the ABUS 74 Series cylinder?
The ABUS 74/40HB75 uses a fixed high-precision cylinder that is rekeyable and is ordered keyed alike, keyed different or master keyed. A facility keyed on removable cores should look at the Sargent 60-858-2, a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle in the 758/858 Series, which lets the padlock take the same core as the rest of the openings instead of being keyed as its own cylinder.
10) What colors does the ABUS 74/40HB75 safety padlock come in?
Ten: black, blue, brown, green, grey, orange, purple, red, white and yellow, and all three keying arrangements are offered in every one of them. The color is the point on a safety lock, not decoration. It is how you tell electrical from mechanical, or shift A from shift B, at a glance on a crowded lockout hasp without reading a single tag.
11) Can the ABUS 74/40HB75 be rekeyed into an existing padlock system?
Yes, the 74/40HB75 is rekeyable, and it uses a 5-pin cylinder. If you are adding these to a facility that already runs an ABUS keying system, they can be pinned to it rather than run as a standalone set. Ordering them master keyed from the start is usually simpler than rekeying after the fact.
12) Does the ABUS 74 padlock lock without a key, or do I have to turn the key to close it?
Push the shackle shut and it locks. The 74 is self locking, so an operator applying it to a hasp does not need to turn anything. The key only comes out once it is fully closed, which is the check that stops a half-seated lock from being counted as applied.
13) Is the ABUS 74/40HB75 a key retaining padlock, and what if I need one that is not?
Key retaining, yes. The key stays in the 74 until the shackle is fully closed, which is exactly what you want on a safety lock and a nuisance on a gate you unlock and walk away from with the lock hanging open. If you need to pull the key with the lock open, the Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856 are non key retaining padlocks; the Sargent 758 is key retaining like the ABUS.
14) Is a Sargent 758 padlock a direct substitute for the ABUS 74/40HB75?
They match on one point and part on the rest. The Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, so it shares the key retaining behavior of the ABUS 74/40HB75. The 74/40HB75 differs in body construction and in finish range: it is an aluminum core padlock with a synthetic coating offered in blue, black, brown, green, grey, orange, purple, red, white and yellow, which is what allows one color per person or per crew on a jobsite. A brass-finished padlock does not carry that color coding.
15) Which padlock gives an audit trail of who opened it, and how does it differ from the ABUS 74/40HB75?
The ABUS 74/40HB75 is a mechanical padlock on a 5-pin cylinder, self locking, and accountability comes from the color and from laser engraving that identifies the person or purpose assigned to each lock. If electronic credentialing is wanted instead, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter supplied with cylinder, and it is non-key retaining rather than key retaining.
16) Can I get ABUS 74 safety padlocks engraved with a name or department?
ABUS offers laser engraving on the 74 so a lock can be marked to a specific person or purpose. Combined with the ten body colors, that is how facilities keep assignments straight when a hundred of these are in circulation across shifts.
