ABUS Padlock brass 75IB

The perfect brass padlock for securing on vehicles and boats in outdoor use.

  • Exceptionally easy to use - the key fits no matter which way round it is

100% RUSTPROOF BRASS LOCK

The marine brass padlock 75IB by ABUS is ideal for securing objects of medium value in severe weather conditions.

A chrome plated lock body made of solid brass and a stainless steel shackle make the lock especially corrosion-resistant and ensure optimum theft protection, even under extremely strong environmental influences. Even in wind and weather, the brass 75IB keeps your valuables under lock and key.

In addition, the high-precision reversible key locking mechanism with up to 168,000 different key codes ensures optimum security. The paracentric key profile makes it extremely difficult for lock pickers to tamper with the lock.

  • Solid lock body made from brass with nickel pearl coating
  • Shackle made from stainless steel
  • Highly precise reversible key locking system with up to 150 000 key variations

ABUS 75IB/50 KA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an ABUS 75IB/50 padlock fit through a 5/16 inch hasp or chain link?
The 75IB/50 has a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, so it needs a hasp eye or chain link with an opening larger than 5/16 inch to pass through. Working room around it is 1-1/8 inch of vertical shackle clearance and 1-5/64 inch of horizontal clearance, which is the space the shackle actually encloses. Measure the staple or link you are locking against those two numbers, not just the shackle diameter, because a thick hasp plate eats into the vertical clearance.
2) Is the ABUS 75IB brass padlock OK for outdoor marine use on boats and trailers?
That is what the 75IB was built for. The body is solid brass with a nickel pearl coating and the shackle is stainless steel, so salt air and rain will not seize it the way a plated steel lock does. ABUS rates it for medium security requirements under extreme weather, specifically vehicles and boats outdoors. It is a weather lock at a medium value level, not a high security lock, so match it to gates, storage boxes, trailer hasps and dock gear rather than to a high value stock cage.
3) Does the key come out of the 75IB/50 when the lock is open, or does it stay in?
The 75IB/50 is key-retaining: the key will not come out while the shackle is open. That is the behavior you want when locks get left hanging on a gate or a trailer, because it stops someone walking off with the key and it stops the lock being left unlocked and forgotten. Note that it is a size-specific behavior in this family. The smaller 75IB/30 is self-locking instead, so if you want to snap a lock shut without the key in hand, the /50 is not the one.
4) Should I order these keyed alike or keyed different for a set of gates?
Both keying options are offered on the 75IB/50. Keyed alike means every lock in the group opens with the same key, which is what a property manager or maintenance crew wants when one person carries one key for a run of gates, meters or storage boxes. Keyed different gives each lock its own key, which is right when you are handing individual locks to individual tenants or subcontractors and do not want one key to open the lot. Decide before you order, because you cannot convert one to the other in the field.
5) What is a good alternative to the ABUS 75IB if I need a padlock on my facility's existing key system?
The 75IB runs on its own ABUS key system, so it will not key into a facility master system. If you need the padlocks to be part of a master keyed or interchangeable core program, look at the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which takes the same cores as the rest of a Sargent system, or the Medeco 5260 from the 52 Series with M3 key technology for a high security restricted keyway. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is another brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle if you want the same shackle size on a Schlage system.
6) The ABUS 75IB/50 keeps the key captive when unlocked - what padlock lets me pull the key out while it is open?
The ABUS 75IB/50 is key-retaining, so the key stays in the lock while the shackle is open. If your crew needs the key free while the lock hangs open on the hasp, use a non-key-retaining lock: the Sargent 858 is a non-key-retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in US4 satin brass, and the Sargent 82-856 is non-key-retaining with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle. The Medeco 54515G XT is also non-key-retaining, in an electronic indoor/outdoor format with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter matching the 75IB/50.
7) What is the closest brass-body padlock to the ABUS 75IB/50 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 75IB/50 carries. Both are brass-bodied locks in that shackle size, so a hasp or chain link sized to accept a 5/16 inch shackle takes either one. The 75IB/50 has a 1-31/32 inch body width with 1-1/8 inch vertical shackle clearance and 1-5/64 inch horizontal clearance, so check those openings against the hasp staple before swapping.
8) I need a heavier shackle than 5/16 inch on a brass padlock - what should I use instead?
Step up to the Medeco 5260, a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter in satin chrome. The ABUS 75IB/50 uses a 5/16 inch shackle, so the Medeco 5260 puts a thicker shackle through the hasp while keeping the brass body. The larger diameter also means the hasp staple and any chain link must accept 7/16 inch, which a 5/16 inch opening will not.
9) We key our padlocks to the building's interchangeable core system - can the ABUS 75IB/50 take our cores?
The ABUS 75IB/50 uses its own reversible-key locking mechanism with a paracentric keyway, not a removable core. To bring padlocks onto a facility core program, use the Sargent 60-858-2, a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle from the 758/858 Series, or the Medeco 521 G8R, a weather-tight padlock supplied less pop-out cylinder so your own cylinder goes in. Those are the locks that accept the cores you already stock; the 75IB/50 is keyed on its own system and comes keyed alike or keyed different.
10) How wide is the ABUS 75IB/50 body, and will it clear a recessed hasp?
Body width on the 75IB/50 is 1-31/32 inches, just under two inches. Check that against the pocket on a recessed or shrouded hasp before you buy, since a two inch class body will not drop into a hasp cut for a smaller lock. The number in the model designation refers to the body size in this ABUS series, so if 1-31/32 inches is too big, step down within the 75IB family rather than switching brands.
11) How hard is the ABUS 75IB to pick, and how many key differs does it have?
The 75IB uses a paracentric keyway, which is the crooked, narrow key profile that makes it awkward to get a pick and tension wrench into the plug at the same time. The reversible key means it goes in either way up, so gloved hands and dark gate posts are less of a problem. ABUS states the reversible key system runs to 150,000 key variations, which matters when you are running a large keyed different program and do not want two tenants sharing a key by accident.
12) Which padlock should I use for a high exposure coastal or wash-down application instead of brass?
Brass with a stainless shackle, which is what the 75IB is, handles weather well and is the usual answer for boats, trailers and outdoor gates. If you want the body itself in stainless rather than brass, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body. For an outdoor opening where you also want audit trail or electronic access control instead of a mechanical key, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, also on a 5/16 inch shackle.
13) For a padlock left outdoors on a boat or trailer, how does the ABUS 75IB/50 compare to a stainless body lock?
The ABUS 75IB/50 pairs a solid brass body with nickel pearl coating and a stainless steel shackle, built for medium security in extreme weather and marine use. The Medeco 521 G8R takes a different approach to the same conditions with a solid stainless steel body, described as weather-tight, and ships less pop-out cylinder. The Medeco 54515G XT is rated for indoor and outdoor use and is electronic rather than mechanical. All three are meant to live outside; the difference is body material and how the lock is keyed or credentialed.
14) Is the Sargent 758 a drop-in replacement for the ABUS 75IB/50?
They are not interchangeable. The Sargent 758 is a key-retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish from the 758 Series, so it matches the ABUS 75IB/50 on key-retaining operation, but it is keyed on the Sargent system and is a separate 758 Series body. The 75IB/50 is a brass body with nickel pearl coating on the ABUS reversible-key system with a paracentric keyway. If you are standardizing a fleet of hasps, pick one family and stay in it rather than mixing the two.
15) What is the difference between the Sargent 858 and the Sargent 60-858-2 if I am cross-shopping against the ABUS 75IB/50?
Both are Sargent padlocks with stainless steel shackles. The 858 is a non-key-retaining padlock in US4 satin brass on the 858 Series. The 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle on the 758/858 Series, so it takes a core from your existing system and gives a longer shackle reach. Against those, the ABUS 75IB/50 is key-retaining, brass bodied, 1-31/32 inch wide with 1-1/8 inch of vertical shackle clearance - a shorter clearance than the 2 inch Sargent shackle, which matters if the hasp staple sits deep.
16) I want audit trail and access control on an outdoor padlock, not a mechanical key - what replaces the ABUS 75IB/50?
The Medeco 54515G is an XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock supplied with cylinder, non-key-retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter. That is the same shackle diameter as the mechanical ABUS 75IB/50, so it fits the same hasp openings while moving the credential from a cut key to an electronic system. The 75IB/50 remains the mechanical choice, with its reversible key and paracentric keyway and no electronics to power or manage.
17) Is the ABUS 75IB/50 a commercial grade padlock or a residential one?
ABUS lists the 75IB/50 as commercial. In practice that means MRO, fleet and facility use: gates, trailers, tool boxes, marina and dock gear. ABUS positions it for medium security requirements, so it is the right lock where the value behind it is moderate and the real enemy is weather. For a high value cage or a high security opening, move to a restricted keyway lock like the Medeco 5260 with M3 key technology.
18) Which padlock has the widest body if my hasp shield needs a lock that fills the opening?
The Sargent 82-856 has a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case with a stainless steel shackle, on the KESO Series. The ABUS 75IB/50 body measures 1-31/32 inch wide. Those two are within a hair of each other in body width, so a shrouded hasp or lock shield cut for one will generally accept the other; the Sargent 82-856 is non-key-retaining while the 75IB/50 is key-retaining.
