ABUS Padlock brass 75/30

The brass padlock 75 has an automatic locking system and a reversible key.

  • Exceptionally easy to use - the key fits no matter which way round it is
  • Self-locking: locking without key by pushing down the shackle
  • Paracentric keyway for increased protection against manipulation

WITH REVERSIBLE KEY

The brass padlock 75 has a reversible key.

Padlock 75 is great for securing doors, gates, cabinets, lockers, toolboxes, basements, sheds, switchgear, and more from theft. The lock body is made of solid brass, the shackle of hardened steel with NANO PROTECT™ corrosion protection. A high-precision locking mechanism is installed, which operates with a reversible key. To secure items of medium value or objects at moderate risk of theft, sizes 75/30 to 75/40 are suitable. For objects of higher value, or if the risk of theft is high, we recommend choosing a padlock between sizes 75/50 and 75/60. The 75IB variant is also weatherproof and therefore a sensible solution if you want to protect your belongings in sea and port areas.

Technology:

  • Solid lock body made from brass
  • Hardened steel shackle with NANO PROTECT™ plating for extreme corrosion resistance
  • Shackle made from hardened steel with NANO PROTECT™ plating
  • High precision reversible keyway with up to 150 000 key differs
  • Double bolted
  • Self-locking: locking without key by pushing down the shackle
  • Paracentric keyway for increased protection against manipulation
  • Inner components made from non-corrosive materials
  • 75IB/40 and 75IB/50: key-retaining

Operation and use:

  • 75/30 - 75/40: To secure valuables/goods of medium value or at an average risk of theft
  • 75/50 - 75/60: To secure valuables/goods of greater value or at a high risk of theft
  • To secure doors, gates, cupboards, lockers, tool boxes, cellar windows, sheds, switchboards
  • 75IB: Ideal for use in coastal and port areas

Variants:

  • Sizes: 1 3/16", 1 37⁄64", 1 31⁄32", 2 23⁄64"
  • Additional Shackle Lengths: 1 3⁄16", 1 37⁄64", 1 31⁄32"
  • Long shackle (HB): 30HB30, 40HB40, 40HB63, 50HB50, 50HB80
  • Also availble with 5 keys

ABUS 75/30-KA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is a 30mm ABUS 75 padlock enough security for a job site gate or a storage yard?
No, not for anything high value. ABUS rates the 75/30 through 75/40 sizes for goods of medium value or at average risk of theft. For higher value contents or a high theft risk, step up to a 75/50 or 75/60. The 30mm body width on the 75/30 is a cabinet, locker, toolbox, cellar window, and switchgear lock, not a yard gate lock.
2) Can I get ABUS 75/30 padlocks all opening on one key for a building?
Yes. The 75/30 is ordered either KA (keyed alike, every lock in the group opening on the same key) or KD (keyed different, each lock on its own key). Property managers standardizing a set of lockers, cabinets, or meter enclosures order KA so one key on the maintenance ring covers the fleet; KD is the choice where each tenant or crew keeps a separate key. The keyway supports up to 150,000 key differs, so a keyed-different set stays genuinely different across a large building.
3) I need padlocks that key into my existing Schlage or Sargent master key system. Is the ABUS 75/30 the right lock?
No. The 75/30 runs ABUS's own reversible key and its own keyway, so it cannot be keyed into a conventional pin tumbler masterkey system. If the padlocks have to fall under a facility's existing key system, look at a padlock built to take that manufacturer's cylinder: the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock, the Sargent 758 key retaining padlock or the 858 non-key-retaining version, or the Sargent 60-858-2, which takes a removable core. The ABUS 75/30 is the right call when the padlocks are a standalone group, keyed alike among themselves or keyed different.
4) What is the closest brass-body padlock to the ABUS 75/30 from another manufacturer?
The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is the nearest brass-body equivalent, with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle against the 5 mm shackle diameter of the ABUS 75/30. Both are brass-bodied padlocks intended for commercial use. The Medeco 5260 is also a brass body padlock, in the 52 Series, but carries a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in a satin chrome finish, so it is a heavier build than either. If you are matching a brass body and want a keying option on the ABUS side, the 75/30 is sold keyed alike and keyed different.
5) I need a padlock that will not come off the hasp until it is locked again - what should I use instead of the ABUS 75/30?
The ABUS 75 series is self-locking, meaning it locks without the key by pushing down the shackle, but the key-retaining behavior in that family is called out for the 75IB/40 and 75IB/50. For a key-retaining padlock from another maker, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish. Key retaining means the key cannot be withdrawn while the lock is open, which is what keeps a padlock from being left hanging unlocked on a gate or a mechanical room hasp.
6) Which padlock takes an interchangeable core so it can go on our existing master key system?
The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, so the core can be pulled and replaced to match an existing keyway. The ABUS 75/30 uses a fixed high-precision reversible keyway with up to 150,000 key differs and a paracentric keyway, and is ordered keyed alike or keyed different rather than cored to a house system. If the requirement on the spec is core interchange with the rest of the building, the removable core padlock is the one that answers it.
7) Is the Medeco XT padlock a substitute for the ABUS 75/30?
No. The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock in the System Series, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and supplied with a cylinder. It is an access control device that records and manages credentials, not a mechanical key padlock. The ABUS 75/30 is mechanical throughout, with a reversible key and a self-locking shackle. If the requirement is an audit trail or programmable access rights, the two are not interchangeable in either direction.
8) We are standardizing padlocks across a facility on a high security key system - is the ABUS 75/30 the right choice or should we look at a Medeco or Sargent?
The ABUS 75/30 runs a high precision reversible keyway with up to 150,000 key differs, a paracentric keyway for resistance to manipulation, a double bolted shackle and non-corrosive inner components, and is available keyed alike across a group or keyed different. Where the standard is a proprietary high security cylinder platform, the Medeco 5260 uses M3 key technology in the 52 Series, and the Sargent 82-856 is built on the KESO Series with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case. The Sargent 60-858-2 takes a removable core, which is how a padlock joins an existing facility keyway. The ABUS answers the reversible key and keyed alike requirement directly; the others answer the case where the padlock must key into a specific high security system already in place.
9) Do you have to turn the key to lock an ABUS 75/30, or does it snap shut?
It snaps shut. The 75 is self-locking, so pushing the shackle down locks it without the key. That matters for maintenance staff closing out a row of cabinets or lockers, nobody has to carry the key back around. The flip side is that you can lock the key inside the enclosure, so treat it as non key-retaining in practice on the 75/30.
10) What is a heavier duty alternative to the ABUS 75/30 brass padlock?
The 75/30 has a 5mm shackle, which is on the light side for anything exposed. For a thicker shackle in a brass body, the Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series runs a 7/16 inch shackle with M3 key technology in satin chrome. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is another brass-body padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle. If the lock lives outdoors in weather, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, and the Medeco 54515G XT is the electronic option where you want an audit trail rather than a mechanical key.
11) What padlock holds up better than the ABUS 75/30 in a coastal or wash-down location?
For salt air, the ABUS line points to the 75IB variant as the weatherproof choice for sea and port areas, while the 75/30 itself uses a solid brass body and a hardened steel shackle with NANO PROTECT plating for corrosion resistance. Across brands, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less the pop-out cylinder. The Sargent 858 is a non-key retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in US4 satin brass. Those give you a stainless body and a stainless shackle option respectively where the exposure is constant rather than occasional.
12) Our hasp is wide and the 75/30 shackle will not reach - what else fits?
The ABUS 75/30 gives 16 mm horizontal shackle clearance and 16.5 mm vertical shackle clearance on a 30 mm body width. Within the ABUS 75 family the long shackle HB versions cover 30HB30, 40HB40, 40HB63, 50HB50 and 50HB80 for taller openings, and body sizes run up to 75/60. Across brands, the Sargent 60-858-2 carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle and the Sargent 82-856 has a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case with a stainless steel shackle, both of which give more room through a thick hasp or a chain link.
13) What is the difference between the Sargent 758 and 858 padlocks when comparing against the ABUS 75/30?
The Sargent 758 is key retaining in a US4 satin brass finish, and the Sargent 858 is non-key retaining with a stainless steel shackle, also US4 satin brass. That is the retaining behavior split: the 758 holds the key while the lock is open, the 858 lets the key come out either way. The ABUS 75/30 sits with the non-retaining group for normal operation and is self-locking, so the shackle can be pushed closed without the key in hand. For a locker bank or a fleet of gates, choose retaining where you want to force the user to relock.
14) Which padlock has the heavier shackle - the ABUS 75/30 or the Medeco and Schlage brass models?
The ABUS 75/30 shackle diameter is 5 mm. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock uses a 5/16 inch diameter shackle and the Medeco 54515G XT uses 5/16 inch as well. The Medeco 5260 brass body padlock runs a 7/16 inch shackle diameter. Larger shackle stock needs a correspondingly larger hasp eye and chain link, so confirm the opening before swapping between them.
15) The Medeco 521 G8R came without a cylinder - does the ABUS 75/30 need one ordered separately?
No. The ABUS 75/30 is a brass padlock supplied with key and a factory keyway, ordered keyed alike or keyed different, so nothing further is needed to put it into service. The Medeco 521 G8R is furnished less the pop-out cylinder, meaning the cylinder is a separate line to match your system. That is the practical difference at the purchase order: one is a complete lock, the other is a body awaiting a cylinder.
16) Does the ABUS 75 key have to go in a particular way up?
No. The 75 uses a reversible key, so it fits either way round. For gloved hands, dark meter rooms, or a crew running a lot of locks in a day, that removes the fumbling. The keyway is paracentric for added resistance to manipulation, and the lock is double bolted, meaning the shackle is held at both legs rather than one.
17) Is the ABUS 75/30 a commercial grade padlock or a consumer one?
It's classed commercial, and the build backs that up: solid brass body, hardened steel shackle, double bolted, paracentric keyway, and a keying program with up to 150,000 differs so a large keyed-different order stays unique. The caveat for institutional buyers is size. At a 30mm body, ABUS positions it for medium value contents; for a facility standard covering higher risk points, spec the 75/50 or 75/60 and keep the 75/30 for interior cabinets, lockers, and switchgear.
18) How many keys come with an ABUS 75 padlock?
The 75 ships with keys, and ABUS also offers the lock in a 5 key configuration, which is the one to ask for when several people on a crew or several tenants need to open the same lock. On a keyed alike order, one key pattern covers the whole group, so the extra key count matters more than the lock count.
