Padlock brass 83 Eighty Three

Our service lock 83/50 is a solid padlock with chrome plated lock body to secure objects of higher value at high risk of theft.

THE SERVICE PADLOCK

Our padlock 83/50 is a solid padlock with chrome plated lock body to secure objects of higher value at high risk of theft.

Do you want to reliably secure objects of high value at a high risk of theft? Our service lock 83/50 could be a good solution for you. It is suitable for securing grilles, doors, gates, cabinets, tool boxes, cellar windows, sheds, switchgears, or barriers and can be combined keyed alike with our profile cylinders C83, EC550, EC660, XP20S, for example. The chrome plated lock body is made of solid brass, and the hardened special steel shackle has Nano Protect™ coating for very high corrosion protection. Inside, a special cylinder is at work. You can decide for yourself whether the lock should close automatically or lock with a key. The variant with Closed Shackle (CS), i.e. a raised lock body, means additional protection for the steel shackle, which makes it much more difficult to break open the lock, such as with bolt cutters.

Technology:

  • Chrome plated solid brass lock body
  • Special alloy steel shackle with NANO PROTECT™ coating for extra corrosion resistance
  • High precision pin tumbler cylinder with patented pinning window
  • Patented ”Z-Bar“ for 2-in-1 function: converts key-retaining to non-key-retaining and vice versa within seconds
  • Cylinder can be taken out and can be re-keyed to match an existing key
  • RK: Can be keyed into many popular security keyways
  • Easy shackle change: shackle can be exchanged within seconds

Operation and use:

  • To secure valuables/goods of greater value or at a high risk of theft
  • To secure gratings, doors, gates, cupboards, tool boxes, cellar windows, sheds, switchboards, barriers, etc.

ABUS 83/45-300 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an ABUS 83/45 padlock fit through my hasp or chain link?
Three numbers settle it. The shackle opening on the 83/45 is 59/64 inch of horizontal clearance and 63/64 inch of vertical clearance, so the staple, hasp loop, or chain link has to pass inside that window. The lock body itself is 1-53/64 inches wide, which is what has to sit in the pocket of a hasp without fouling the hinge or the door frame. Measure the throat of your hasp before you commit: a heavy gate hasp with a thick staple can exceed 59/64 inch even when the body clears fine.
2) Does the ABUS 83/45 snap shut on its own, or do you have to turn the key to lock it?
Both, and you choose. The 83/45 is self-locking, so pushing the shackle home locks it without the key. The patented Z-Bar inside converts it between key-retaining and non-key-retaining in seconds, which is the part that matters operationally: set it key-retaining and the key cannot come out while the lock is open, so a crew member cannot walk off with the key and leave the gate hanging. Set it non-key-retaining and the key comes out either way, which is what you want on a lock somebody else has to close behind you.
3) What is the closest brass-body padlock to the ABUS 83/45 from Schlage's own line?
The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, from Schlage's 20 Series. The ABUS 83/45 is a solid brass padlock with a chrome plated body, 1-53/64 inch wide, rekeyable, with a 5-pin cylinder, and it is ordered by keyway - 100, 200, 300, 306, 400, 410, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 3000, Everest, and M1. Both are brass-body padlocks intended for commercial use. The difference to sort out before ordering is the keyway: the 83/45 is selected by keyway code at the time of order, and its cylinder can be taken out and re-keyed to match an existing key.
4) I need padlocks that stay captive on the hasp when unlocked and others that come off. Does that mean two different part numbers?
Not with the ABUS 83/45. It uses the patented Z-Bar for a 2-in-1 function that converts key-retaining to non-key-retaining and back within seconds, so one lock covers both behaviors and the crew decides at the opening. Sargent splits the two into separate part numbers: the 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, and the 858 is non-key retaining with a stainless steel shackle, also US4 satin brass. If the order is going out as a mixed fleet, the 83/45 is one line item and the Sargent approach is two.
5) Our building runs interchangeable cores and I want the padlocks on the same core as the doors. Is the ABUS 83/45 the right lock for that?
The 83/45 is rekeyable and its cylinder can be taken out and re-keyed to match an existing key, which covers a facility that wants the padlock keyed to a key it already carries. If the requirement is specifically a core that pulls with a control key like the ones in the doors, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, from the 758/858 series. Decide which the spec actually calls for - re-keying a fixed cylinder to an existing key, or a core that swaps out of the lock body.
6) If I order a padlock listed as less cylinder, does it arrive ready to hang like the ABUS 83/45?
No, and this is where padlock orders go wrong. The Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock less pop-out cylinder, meaning the cylinder is a separate line and the lock is not operable as shipped. The Medeco 54515G XT electronic padlock is listed with cylinder. The ABUS 83/45 is ordered by keyway code - 100 through 3000 plus Everest and M1 - with a 5-pin cylinder in the lock, and the cylinder can be taken out and re-keyed to match an existing key afterward. Check the cylinder line on any padlock quote before it ships.
7) I need every padlock on my properties opened by one key. Will ABUS 83/45 padlocks do that?
Order them all on the same keyway and they can be keyed alike, so one key runs the whole fleet. All 13 keyway choices are Schlage keyways, so the smart move is to order in whichever keyway your door hardware already uses instead of adding a second key to the ring. The cylinder is 5-pin and rekeyable, and it lifts out of the body, so a locksmith can pin the padlocks to a key you already carry rather than the padlocks dictating a new one.
8) What is the difference between the ABUS 83/45 and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F padlock?
Both are brass-bodied padlocks that live in the Schlage keyway family. The KS23D/KS23F is Schlage's own 20 Series brass padlock. The ABUS 83/45 is an ABUS body offered in 13 Schlage keyways, including Everest and M1, with a 5-pin cylinder that pulls out for rekeying and a Z-Bar that flips the lock between key-retaining and non-key-retaining. If you are matching a Schlage-standardized facility, either one keys into it; the 83/45 is the pick when you want the retaining behavior switchable in the field.
9) We are standardized on removable cores. Is a padlock like the ABUS 83/45 the right choice, or do I need something else?
The 83/45 uses a 5-pin cylinder in a Schlage keyway that lifts out of the body and gets pinned to your key, which is a rekeying path, not a core-swap path. If your maintenance program is built around pulling and replacing cores with a control key, look at the Sargent 60-858-2 instead, which is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. That keeps the padlocks on the same core rotation as the rest of your openings.
10) I want a padlock where the key cannot be pulled out while it is unlocked. Which one should I order?
The ABUS 83/45 covers it without a separate part number, because the Z-Bar switches it between key-retaining and non-key-retaining in the field. With most commercial padlocks you have to decide at the order form: Sargent's 758 is the key-retaining model and the 858 is the non-key-retaining one, both with a US4 satin brass finish and the 858 carrying a stainless steel shackle. If you are buying a mixed fleet for different crews, one switchable model saves you stocking two.
11) A tenant moved out with a padlock key. Can the ABUS 83/45 be rekeyed instead of replaced?
Rekey it. The 83/45 is rekeyable, and the cylinder comes out of the lock body so a locksmith can pin it to a new key or to a key you already carry. Same 5-pin cylinder, same keyway, no new hardware on the gate. The shackle is also field-exchangeable, so a cut or damaged shackle does not condemn the lock either.
12) These go on exterior gates and switchgear cabinets. How does the ABUS 83/45 compare to a stainless body padlock for outdoor duty?
The ABUS 83/45 is weather resistant, built with a chrome plated solid brass lock body and a special alloy steel shackle carrying a Nano Protect coating for extra corrosion resistance, and the description calls out gates, cellar windows, sheds, switchboards and barriers as intended uses. The Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, so the corrosion strategy is the body material itself rather than a plated brass body with a coated shackle. One ordering note on the Medeco: the 521 G8R is supplied less pop-out cylinder.
13) We want the gate padlocks tied into an electronic credential program. Is the ABUS 83/45 that kind of lock?
No. The ABUS 83/45 is a mechanical keyed padlock with a 5-pin cylinder, rekeyable, self locking, and ordered by keyway code. For an electronic program the peer is the Medeco 54515G XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, supplied with cylinder, from Medeco's System Series. The two are managed in completely different ways - one by cutting keys to a keyway, one by credential - so they are not mixed on the same opening standard.
14) The hasps on our equipment cages take a heavier shackle than the ABUS 83/45 body allows. What is the step up in a brass padlock?
The Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology, in satin chrome. For measuring against it, the ABUS 83/45 opening is 59/64 inch of horizontal shackle clearance and 63/64 inch of vertical shackle clearance in a body 1-53/64 inch wide, so take the hasp staple diameter and the throat depth before choosing between them. Both are brass body locks; the difference that decides it is what the hasp will physically accept.
15) Can a Sargent 82-856 be keyed alike with an ABUS 83/45 so the same key opens both?
They sit in different key systems. The Sargent 82-856 is a KESO Series non-key retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle. The ABUS 83/45 runs a 5-pin cylinder ordered by keyway code - 100, 200, 300, 306, 400, 410, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 3000, Everest and M1 - and its cylinder can be taken out and re-keyed to match an existing key. Keying the two alike would mean carrying two key systems, so pick one family for the site and stay in it.
16) Is the ABUS 83/45 a commercial-duty padlock or a homeowner-grade one?
Commercial. The 83/45 is a chrome plated solid brass body with a special alloy steel shackle and a high precision pin tumbler cylinder, and it is keyed in commercial Schlage keyways so it drops into a managed key system rather than sitting outside it. Typical duty is grilles, gates, tool boxes, switchgear cabinets, sheds, cellar windows, and barriers on commercial and multi-family sites.
17) My hasp needs a thicker shackle than a standard padlock. What else could I use?
The shackle window on the ABUS 83/45 is 59/64 inch horizontal by 63/64 inch vertical, which is a general-purpose opening. Where the application calls for a heavier shackle section, the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in a satin chrome finish. Note it is a Medeco key system, not a Schlage keyway, so it will not key alike with Schlage-cylindered openings.
18) The shrouded hasps we have are tight on the lock body. How does the ABUS 83/45 footprint compare to the padlocks we already run?
The ABUS 83/45 body measures 1-53/64 inch wide, with 59/64 inch of horizontal shackle clearance and 63/64 inch of vertical shackle clearance. The Sargent 82-856 carries a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case. That difference in case footprint is what determines whether the lock seats inside a shrouded or recessed hasp, so measure the pocket rather than assuming any brass padlock drops in.
19) We are matching the look of padlocks already hanging on the property. What are the finish differences between the ABUS 83/45 and the Sargent and Medeco brass padlocks?
The ABUS 83/45 is solid brass with a chrome plated lock body, so it reads bright rather than brass-toned. The Sargent 758 and 858 are both listed in a US4 satin brass finish, which is the warmer brass appearance. The Medeco 5260 is a brass body padlock in satin chrome. If the fleet needs to look uniform across gates and cabinets, sort by finish first, then confirm the keying, because the finish choices split across these families.
