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/45HB75 Blue – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How wide is the ABUS 83AL/45HB75 padlock body, and will it fit a standard hasp?
The 83AL/45 body measures 47mm across, which is the common mid-size padlock width for grilles, gates, tool boxes and cabinet hasps. The 45 in the model number is the body size designation and the HB75 refers to the high shackle version, so you get extra clearance height for thicker hasps, chain links or shackle-through applications where a standard shackle is too short.
2) Can the ABUS 83AL padlock be keyed to match my existing key?
Yes. The 83AL Titalium has a removable, replaceable lock cylinder, so the cylinder can be taken out and re-keyed to an existing key. ABUS also offers it keyed into many popular security keyways, which is how property managers get shed, gate and front door on one key. On the order itself you choose Keyed Different or Keyed Alike.
3) Is the ABUS 83AL key retaining or non-key retaining?
Either, and you can change it yourself. The 83AL uses ABUS's patented Z-Bar, a 2-in-1 feature that converts key retaining to non-key retaining and back in seconds. Non-key retaining (automatic locking) means you just push the shackle down to lock; key retaining means a key is required to lock, which stops someone accidentally locking an empty gate or cabinet. If you want a lock that is permanently one or the other, a fixed-function padlock like the Sargent 758 (key retaining) or Sargent 858 (non-key retaining) is the straight alternative.
4) What is a metal-body alternative to the ABUS 83AL Titalium padlock for a gate that stays outdoors year round?
The ABUS 83AL/45HB75 uses a TITALIUM special aluminum body with a hardened steel shackle carrying a NANO PROTECT coating for corrosion resistance. If you want a solid metal body instead of aluminum, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less the pop-out cylinder. The Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series uses a brass body with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter in a satin chrome finish. All three are outdoor-capable approaches; the difference is body material and, in the case of the G8R 521, that the cylinder is ordered separately.
5) I need padlocks that take our existing removable core cylinders instead of the ABUS 83AL cylinder. What should I look at?
The ABUS 83AL/45HB75 has a replaceable lock cylinder that can be taken out and re-keyed to match an existing key, and it can be keyed into many popular security keyways. If you are standardizing on an interchangeable core program instead, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. The Sargent 82-856 in the KESO Series is a non-key-retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle. Both Sargent routes tie the padlock into a Sargent cylinder system rather than an ABUS one.
6) The ABUS 83AL lets you switch between key retaining and non-key retaining. Which comparable padlocks are fixed one way or the other?
The ABUS 83AL/45HB75 uses a patented Z-Bar that converts key retaining to non-key retaining and back in seconds, so one part number covers both behaviors. Among the alternatives, each function is a separate model: the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, while the Sargent 858 is non-key retaining with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass. The Medeco 54515G XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock is also non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included. If a job mixes both behaviors, the 83AL avoids stocking two SKUs.
7) The ABUS 83AL/45HB75 has a tall shackle. What should I use where the hasp clearance is small?
The 83AL/45HB75 is the HB75 high-shackle build on the 47 mm wide 83AL body, which suits chains, grilles and gate loops that need vertical clearance. Where the hasp is tight, a short-shackle padlock fits better: the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, the Medeco 54515G also uses a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, and the Sargent 60-858-2 is specified with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. Measure the hasp opening and shackle clearance before committing either way.
8) What colors does the ABUS 83AL/45HB75 come in, and can I use them to separate crews or departments?
Eight body colors: blue, brown, green, orange, purple, red, silver and yellow. That is the practical reason to buy this one for a fleet of openings, color-code by trade, building, or lockout group, then key them alike within each color so a crew carries one key.
9) What is the difference between the ABUS 83AL and a brass-body padlock like the Schlage KS23 or Medeco 5260?
Body material and weight. The 83AL uses TITALIUM aluminum, so it is noticeably lighter than a brass lock of the same size while still built for high-theft-risk applications. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F and Medeco 5260 are brass-body padlocks, both with smaller shackle diameters (5/16 inch on the Schlage, 7/16 inch on the Medeco 5260, which uses M3 key technology). Where the 83AL stands apart is the user-removable cylinder and the switchable key-retaining function.
10) Does the ABUS 83AL/45HB75 come with a cylinder and keys, or do I have to order those separately?
The standard 83AL ships as a complete lock with its cylinder, and you pick Keyed Different or Keyed Alike when you order. The only variant that needs a separate cylinder is the version S, which is built to accept Snowman cylinders and does not include one.
11) Is the Medeco 54515G a direct substitute for the ABUS 83AL/45HB75?
No. The Medeco 54515G is an XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, so it brings an electronic credential and audit capability rather than a mechanical key. The ABUS 83AL/45HB75 is a mechanical padlock with a removable, re-keyable cylinder and a 47 mm wide body. They secure the same kinds of openings, but the 54515G belongs to an access control program with electronic keys, while the 83AL works on a standard key system.
12) We color code padlocks by building. Do any of the comparable padlocks offer that, or only the ABUS 83AL?
The ABUS 83AL/45HB75 is offered in blue, brown, silver, green, orange, purple, red and yellow, which is what makes color coding by building, crew or tool crib practical, and keying can be specified keyed different or keyed alike at no charge. The comparable padlocks are specified by metal finish rather than color: the Sargent 758 and Sargent 858 are listed in US4 satin brass, and the Medeco 5260 in satin chrome. For a color coded fleet, the 83AL is the one that supports it.
13) Which padlock is lighter to carry on a route, the ABUS 83AL or the brass and stainless alternatives?
The ABUS 83AL/45HB75 is built around a TITALIUM special aluminum body specifically to combine security with low weight, which matters when a technician carries a dozen locks on a route. The comparable bodies are heavier materials by construction: the Medeco 5260 uses a brass body, the Sargent 82-856 a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case, and the Medeco 521 G8R a solid stainless steel body. If carried weight is the deciding factor, the aluminum-bodied 83AL is the lighter approach.
14) Can I order the ABUS 83AL/45HB75 without a cylinder the way the Medeco 521 G8R ships?
The Medeco 521 G8R is supplied less its pop-out cylinder, so the cylinder is a separate order. On the ABUS 83AL side, the S version is designed to accept Snowman cylinders with the cylinder not included, while the standard 83AL/45HB75 is ordered with free keying specified as keyed different or keyed alike. So a cylinder-less build exists in the 83AL family, but it is a specific version rather than the default.
