Padlock aluminum 83AL TITALIUM™

Keyed alike, corrosion protected, a robust lightweight: Our 83AL Titalium padlock is a true all-rounder!

LIGHTWEIGHT AND FLEXIBLE

Our 83AL Titalium padlock has a replaceable lock cylinder.

We recommend our 83AL Titalium padlock if you want to secure higher-value or larger objects at a high risk of theft. This makes it a great fit for locking grilles, doors, gates, cabinets, tool boxes, basement windows, switchgear, or barriers. Thanks to the replaceable lock cylinder, you can combine multiple lock cylinders (for example, the one from the front door with the shed) with the same key so that you only need one key. The lock body of the 83AL is made of particularly lightweight TITALIUM™ special aluminum, the shackle of hardened special steel with NANO PROTECT™ coating. This padlock allows you to choose between two locking mechanisms: With automatic locking, you simply push down the shackle of the 83AL and the padlock is locked. In the variant with key-retaining, you need a key to lock. This prevents accidental locking.

Technology:

  • Lock body made from TITALIUM™ special aluminum - high security with low weight
  • Hardened special steel shackle with NANO PROTECT™ coating for very high corrosion resistance
  • Patented Z-Bar" for 2 in 1 function: converts key retaining to non-key retaining and vice versa in 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
  • Version "S": Designed to accept Snowman-cylinders; cylinder not included

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 83AL/40-300 KA BLUE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an ABUS 83AL/40 padlock work on my key system, or do I need a separate key for it?
The 83AL/40 is supplied cut to the Schlage C keyway, so it runs on the same key as Schlage C-keyed cylinders you already have on site. The cylinder is removable and can be re-keyed to match an existing key, which is how ABUS intends you to bring a padlock onto a building's existing system rather than adding another key to the ring. Order it keyed alike if you want one key to open every padlock in the group, or keyed different if each lock needs its own key.
2) What is the difference between the key retaining and non-key retaining version of the ABUS 83AL?
You don't pick one at the order stage. The 83AL carries ABUS's Z-Bar, which converts key retaining to non-key retaining and back in seconds. Set it non-key retaining and you push the shackle down to lock, no key needed, which is what most people want on a gate or grille they close a dozen times a day. Set it key retaining and the key stays captive until the lock is closed, so a lock cannot be snapped shut accidentally on an open cabinet or a piece of switchgear that someone is still working inside.
3) Can I replace a Schlage KS23 brass padlock with an ABUS 83AL/40?
Not a straight swap on shackle size. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle; the 83AL/40 shackle is 1/4 inch. Going the other way is the problem, a hasp drilled or sized for the thinner 1/4 inch shackle will not take the 5/16 inch lock, while the 83AL will pass through hardware built for the heavier one with slack to spare. Also check clearance: the 83AL/40 gives 29/32 inch between the shackle legs, so anything wider than that in the existing opening will not go through.
4) I need a padlock for an outdoor gate that sees weather all year. Is the ABUS 83AL/40 the right choice or is there something more weather rated?
The ABUS 83AL/40 pairs a TITALIUM special aluminum body with a hardened steel shackle carrying a NANO PROTECT coating for corrosion resistance, and it is a commercial grade lock. If you want a body built specifically against weather rather than a coated shackle, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less the pop-out cylinder. The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle, non-key retaining, supplied with cylinder. The ABUS is a mechanical key lock; the 54515G is electronic and needs the credential system behind it.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the ABUS 83AL/40 padlock if I need a removable core that matches my facility keyway?
The ABUS 83AL/40 has a cylinder that can be taken out and re-keyed to match an existing key, and it is sold in a Schlage C keyway. If you want a padlock built around an interchangeable core instead, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle in the 758/858 series. The ABUS approach re-keys the cylinder that ships in the lock; the Sargent takes the core your facility already standardizes on.
6) The 83AL/40 shackle is only 1/4 inch. What padlock has a thicker shackle for a gate hasp?
The ABUS 83AL/40 uses a 1/4 inch diameter hardened steel shackle. For a heavier shackle, the Medeco 5260 is a 52 series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter in satin chrome, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock uses a 5/16 inch shackle. Match the shackle diameter to the hasp opening before you order, since a 7/16 inch shackle will not pass through a hasp cut for 1/4 inch.
7) What is the difference between a key retaining and a non-key retaining padlock, and which ones offer each?
Key retaining means the key cannot be removed while the lock is open, so it will not walk away from the opening. The ABUS 83AL/40 covers both behaviors in one lock: a patented Z-Bar converts key retaining to non-key retaining and back in seconds, and it can be set for automatic locking where pushing the shackle down locks it. Among fixed-behavior alternatives, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass, while the Sargent 858 is non-key retaining with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass. The Sargent 82-856 is also non-key retaining, with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle.
8) Which padlocks ship ready to use and which need a cylinder or core ordered separately?
The ABUS 83AL/40 arrives as a complete lock keyed on the Schlage C keyway, either keyed alike or keyed different, with a cylinder that can later be pulled and re-keyed. Two of the alternatives are not complete as ordered: the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock is supplied less the pop-out cylinder, and the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock, so a core has to come from your keying system. The Medeco 54515G XT is listed with cylinder. Check that line before you assume a padlock is ready to hang.
9) Can I key an ABUS 83AL/40 to my existing Sargent or Medeco system?
The ABUS 83AL/40 is supplied on the Schlage C keyway, and its cylinder can be removed and re-keyed to match an existing key, with the RK version able to be keyed into many popular security keyways; the S version is designed to accept Snowman cylinders and does not include one. If your site is standardized on a proprietary system, the closer path is a padlock from that system: the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock in the 758/858 series, the Sargent 82-856 in the KESO series, or the Medeco 521 G8R, which is supplied less the pop-out cylinder so your own cylinder goes in.
10) What colors does the ABUS 83AL/40 come in, and can I use them to sort locks by trade?
Six finishes: yellow, black, red, green, blue and titanium. That is the practical reason to buy this body over a plain brass lock. On a multi-family or campus site you can assign a color per department or per contractor group, keep the whole set on one key or split it by color, and identify at a glance which crew owns which gate without reading a tag. Every color is offered both keyed alike and keyed different.
11) Does the ABUS 83AL padlock come with a cylinder, or do I have to buy one?
The 83AL/40 ships with its cylinder in place and keyed to the Schlage C keyway. The one to watch is ABUS's separate S version of the 83AL, which is built to accept Snowman cylinders and ships without a cylinder. If you have been quoted an 83AL and expected to drop your own cylinder in, confirm which one you are looking at, because the /40 as specified here is a complete lock.
12) What is a better padlock than the ABUS 83AL if I need a removable core to match my facility's master key system?
The 83AL/40 takes a fixed cylinder that a locksmith re-keys, which suits a site running Schlage C. If your facility is standardized on interchangeable cores so your own locksmith can swap keying without pulling locks, that is a different product: the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series runs M3 key technology in a brass body with a 7/16 inch shackle. Both are heavier locks with a thicker shackle than the 83AL/40's 1/4 inch.
13) I want to color code padlocks by trade or building across a property. Which padlock supports that?
The ABUS 83AL/40 is the one built for it: the aluminum body comes in yellow, black, red, green, blue, and titanium, in either keyed alike or keyed different, all on the Schlage C keyway. That lets you run one keyway across the property and still tell a roofing lock from an electrical lock at a glance. The brass and stainless alternatives, such as the Sargent 758 in US4 satin brass or the Medeco 5260 in satin chrome, are single finish locks, so color coding a fleet with them means tagging rather than body color.
14) My hasp opening is tight. Will a Sargent 82-856 drop in where an ABUS 83AL/40 was?
Not without measuring. The ABUS 83AL/40 body is 1-37/64 inches wide with 29/32 inch horizontal shackle clearance and a 1/4 inch shackle. The Sargent 82-856 has a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case, so it is a wider body and will not sit in the same footprint on a narrow hasp or a recessed cabinet door. Confirm the width the opening allows and the shackle diameter the hasp is cut for before treating one as a swap for the other.
15) I need a lightweight padlock for a technician carrying twenty of them. What are my options?
The ABUS 83AL/40 is the light one in the group: its body is TITALIUM special aluminum, chosen for security at low weight, in a 1-37/64 inch width. The alternatives are heavier by material, with brass bodies on the Medeco 5260 and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F, a solid stainless steel body on the Medeco 521 G8R, and a brass case on the Sargent 82-856. If a truck kit or a keyring of padlocks is the use case, the aluminum body is the meaningful difference.
16) Which padlock should I use if I need an audit trail of who opened it and when?
A mechanical key lock will not give you that. The ABUS 83AL/40 is a keyed mechanical padlock on the Schlage C keyway with a re-keyable cylinder, and the Sargent, Schlage, and Medeco 52 series and G8R alternatives are mechanical as well. The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock in the System series with a 5/16 inch shackle, non-key retaining, supplied with cylinder, and that is the one built around electronic credentials rather than a cut key.
17) What is the difference between the Sargent 758 and the Sargent 858 if I am cross shopping them against an ABUS 83AL/40?
The Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass, so the key stays captive while the lock is open. The Sargent 858 is non-key retaining with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass finish, and the 60-858-2 variant of that family is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. The ABUS 83AL/40 covers both behaviors in a single lock through its Z-Bar, which switches key retaining to non-key retaining in seconds, so you do not pick the behavior at order time.
18) Is the ABUS 83AL/40 a commercial grade padlock or a consumer one?
Commercial. The 83AL/40 is specified for securing higher value goods and openings at real theft risk, grilles, gates, tool boxes, switchgear and barriers, and it is keyed on the Schlage C keyway that commercial buildings already run. It is not a hardware store lock with a proprietary key you cannot integrate.
