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-IC/40 TITANIUM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the ABUS 83AL-IC/40 padlock fit through a 1/2 inch hasp opening?
The 83AL-IC/40 shackle is 1/4 inch in diameter, so it passes through any hasp eye or chain link wider than that. What usually decides it is the clearance, not the diameter: you get 29/32 inch horizontally and 1-1/2 inch vertically between the shackle legs and under the crown. Measure the thickest part of the hasp staple stack you need to capture, and if it exceeds 1-1/2 inch of shackle height you need a long shackle lock instead.
2) Can the ABUS 83AL Titalium padlock be keyed to match my building's existing keys?
That is the point of the 83AL. The cylinder comes out and can be re-keyed to an existing key, and the RK version keys into many popular security keyways, so a property manager can put the same key on the front door and the shed or the gate padlock. The "S" version is built to accept Snowman cylinders and ships without a cylinder, so if you order that one you are supplying the cylinder yourself.
3) Do I have to use a key to lock the ABUS 83AL padlock, or does it snap shut?
Either, and you can change your mind after it is installed. The 83AL has a patented Z-Bar that converts key retaining to non-key retaining and back in seconds. Set it non-key retaining and you just push the shackle down to lock, which is what crews want on a gate they close twenty times a day. Set it key retaining and the key stays captive until the lock is closed, which stops someone snapping it shut on an open panel by accident.
4) Is an aluminum padlock strong enough for an outdoor gate, or should I use brass or stainless?
The 83AL body is TITALIUM special aluminum, not commodity cast aluminum, and the shackle is hardened special steel with a NANO PROTECT coating for corrosion resistance, so it holds up outdoors on gates, grilles, barriers and basement windows while weighing much less than a brass lock of the same size. If your spec calls for a solid metal body instead, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, and the Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series has a brass body with a 7/16 inch shackle. Those are heavier locks with thicker shackles; the 83AL is the one you pick when weight and re-keying flexibility matter.
5) I need a padlock that takes an interchangeable core, is the ABUS 83AL-IC/40 the right one?
Model 83AL-IC/40 is the removable cylinder version of the 83AL, so the core comes out and gets re-keyed into your existing system rather than being locked to a factory key. If your facility standardizes on Sargent small format cores, the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle is the equivalent on that side. Pick by which key system you are already running.
6) What is an equivalent padlock to the ABUS 83AL-IC/40 if the facility already standardizes on Sargent removable core?
The Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock is the closest match in concept. Both are built around a cylinder that comes out of the lock body, so the padlock joins an existing keying system rather than carrying its own separate key. The ABUS 83AL-IC/40 takes a replaceable cylinder that can be re-keyed to match an existing key, and its body is TITALIUM special aluminum with a 1/4 inch diameter hardened steel shackle. The Sargent 60-858-2 carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, so it reaches further through a hasp or chain link than the 83AL-IC/40's 1-1/2 inch vertical shackle clearance. Choose by the keying system in place: the 83AL-IC/40 for an ABUS or popular security keyway, the 60-858-2 for a Sargent removable core program.
7) Which padlock should I use instead of the ABUS 83AL-IC/40 on an exposed exterior gate that stays wet?
For a permanently wet or coastal opening, look at the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock, which uses a solid stainless steel body and is supplied less the pop-out cylinder so a cylinder is added to match the site keying. The ABUS 83AL-IC/40 is also built for outdoor duty - the shackle is hardened special steel with a NANO PROTECT coating for very high corrosion resistance and the body is TITALIUM special aluminum, which keeps the weight down on gates and grilles that get opened many times a day. The trade is body material and weight against a fully stainless case: the 83AL-IC/40 is the lighter lock at 1-37/64 inch wide, the G8R 521 is the stainless-bodied one.
8) What is the difference between the ABUS 83AL-IC/40 and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F padlock?
Body material and shackle size are the two things a buyer feels. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, part of the Schlage 20 Series. The ABUS 83AL-IC/40 has a 1/4 inch diameter shackle, a body of TITALIUM special aluminum, and a body width of 1-37/64 inch. A 5/16 inch shackle will not pass through a hasp or shrouded eye drilled for a 1/4 inch shackle, so check the hasp opening before treating the two as interchangeable. On keying, both accept a cylinder that ties into an existing system - the 83AL-IC/40 cylinder comes out and can be re-keyed to match an existing key, and it can be keyed into many popular security keyways.
9) I need a padlock that cannot be left unlocked by accident - what are my options besides the ABUS 83AL-IC/40?
The ABUS 83AL-IC/40 already covers this. It uses a patented Z-Bar that converts key retaining to non-key retaining and back in seconds, so one lock handles both behaviors: key retaining means the key cannot come out until the shackle is locked, which is what prevents a lock being hung open on a gate. If the site is standardized on Sargent instead, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish. The Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856 are non-key retaining, as is the Medeco 54515G electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, so those will not enforce the same discipline. Buying by that one behavior is what separates these part numbers.
10) Can the Medeco 54515G XT be used in place of the ABUS 83AL-IC/40 padlock?
They solve different problems despite both being outdoor-rated padlocks. The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included - it belongs to an audited electronic access program where openings are recorded and credentials revoked centrally. The ABUS 83AL-IC/40 is a mechanical lock: a TITALIUM aluminum body with a removable cylinder that can be re-keyed to match an existing key, so it folds into a conventional key system with no electronics, no batteries, and no software. Substitute one for the other only if the site is changing how it manages access, not just which padlock hangs on the gate. Note also the shackle diameters differ, 5/16 inch on the 54515G against 1/4 inch on the 83AL-IC/40.
11) What color options does the ABUS 83AL-IC/40 padlock come in for color-coding a facility?
Three: blue, red, and titanium. Facilities crews use that to zone a site by trade or by area, all on the same 1-37/64 inch wide body so every lock takes the same hasp and the same cylinder. Since the cylinder is removable and re-keyable, you can color-code the bodies and still key groups of them alike.
12) What is the difference between the ABUS 83AL and a key-retaining padlock like the Sargent 758?
A key retaining lock will not release the key while the shackle is open, so the lock cannot be left hanging unlocked and the key walk away with it. The Sargent 758 is built that way permanently, in a US4 satin brass finish, and the Sargent 858 is the non-key-retaining counterpart. The ABUS 83AL does not force the choice: its Z-Bar switches it between the two modes on the spot. If your lockout procedure requires key retention at all times, a lock that cannot be switched out of that mode may be what your policy wants.
13) Will a 1/4 inch shackle padlock fit a standard chain or hasp on a storage gate?
A 1/4 inch shackle is on the slimmer side, so it threads through hasps and chain links that a 5/16 or 7/16 inch shackle will not enter. The trade-off runs the other way too: if the hasp staple is sized for a fatter shackle the 83AL will still pass but sits loose in the opening. For a heavier shackle in the same job, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock and the Medeco 54515G both use 5/16 inch, and the Medeco 5260 uses 7/16 inch.
14) Can I get an electronic or audit-trail padlock instead of a mechanical one like the ABUS 83AL?
The 83AL is a mechanical key lock, so there is no access log and no credential to revoke. If you need electronic control on an outdoor padlock, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle and cylinder included. Choose the 83AL when the site runs on keys and you want the cylinder to match an existing keyway; choose electronic when you need to cut off a contractor's access without a rekey.
15) What padlock takes a heavier shackle than the ABUS 83AL-IC/40 for a high-theft-risk gate?
The ABUS 83AL-IC/40 uses a 1/4 inch diameter shackle. For a thicker shackle, the Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series has a brass body and a 7/16 inch shackle diameter in a satin chrome finish with M3 key technology, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock uses a 5/16 inch shackle. Both are brass-bodied, where the 83AL-IC/40 is TITALIUM special aluminum, so the heavier shackle comes with a heavier lock hanging on the hasp - relevant on chain link gates and roll-up doors that swing all day. Confirm the hasp or shrouded staple will pass the larger shackle before ordering, since a 7/16 inch shackle needs a considerably larger opening than 1/4 inch.
16) What is the difference between the Sargent 758 and 858 padlocks, and how do they compare to the ABUS 83AL-IC/40?
The Sargent 758 is key retaining and the Sargent 858 is non-key retaining; both are offered in US4 satin brass, and the 858 carries a stainless steel shackle. Sargent groups them as the 758 Series and 858 Series respectively, with the 60-858-2 covering the removable core version on a 2 inch stainless shackle. Choosing between them means choosing the retaining behavior at the time of order. The ABUS 83AL-IC/40 handles both from one part number through its patented Z-Bar, which converts key retaining to non-key retaining and back, which is worth knowing if a fleet of gates and cabinets does not all want the same behavior.
17) Which padlock lets me color code locks across a property while keeping one keying system?
The ABUS 83AL-IC/40 is the one to look at for that. It comes in blue, red, and titanium finishes on the same 1-37/64 inch wide TITALIUM aluminum body, so crews can tell a mechanical room lock from a tenant storage lock at a glance, while the removable cylinder keys them all into the same system - it can be re-keyed to match an existing key and keyed into many popular security keyways. Among the metal-bodied alternatives, the Sargent 758 and Sargent 858 are cataloged in US4 satin brass and the Medeco 5260 in satin chrome, which are single-finish architectural treatments rather than a color coding scheme.
18) Do any of these padlocks ship without a cylinder, and does the ABUS 83AL-IC/40?
It varies by part number, and it changes what else has to be on the order. The Medeco 521 G8R is supplied less the pop-out cylinder, so a cylinder is ordered separately to match the site keying. The Medeco 54515G XT is supplied with its cylinder. On the ABUS 83AL, the cylinder is replaceable and can be taken out and re-keyed to match an existing key, and the version marked S is designed to accept Snowman cylinders with the cylinder not included. For a locksmith building a keyed-alike group across a property, confirm which configuration is being quoted before pricing the cylinders.
19) Is the Sargent 82-856 a substitute for the ABUS 83AL-IC/40?
Only if the keying program allows it. The Sargent 82-856 is a non-key retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle, and it sits in the KESO Series - a distinct high security key system, so it is bought as part of that program rather than as a generic body swap. The ABUS 83AL-IC/40 is a 1-37/64 inch wide TITALIUM aluminum body with a 1/4 inch shackle and a cylinder that can be re-keyed to an existing key. The 82-856 is also the physically larger case of the two, which matters where the padlock has to sit inside a shrouded hasp or a recessed gate box.
20) Which padlock has more shackle clearance than the ABUS 83AL-IC/40 for a thick chain or a shrouded hasp?
The ABUS 83AL-IC/40 gives 1-1/2 inch of vertical shackle clearance and 29/32 inch horizontal clearance, which covers a standard hasp and a light chain. Where a heavier chain or a stacked hasp needs more reach, the Sargent 60-858-2 uses a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. Measure the stack the shackle has to pass through, not just the chain link, because the horizontal clearance is what limits how wide a staple or shackle guard the lock will straddle.
21) Is the ABUS 83AL-IC/40 padlock rated for commercial use or is it a consumer lock?
Commercial. The 83AL-IC/40 is catalogued for commercial duty and is intended for securing higher value goods at high risk of theft, which is why it turns up on switchgear cabinets, tool boxes, and site barriers rather than lockers.
22) Does the ABUS 83AL-IC/40 padlock come with a cylinder and keys?
The 83AL-IC/40 is the removable cylinder model. Only one variant of the 83AL family, the "S" version built for Snowman cylinders, is specified as shipping without a cylinder. If you are keying these into an existing system, plan on your locksmith pulling the cylinder and re-keying it to your key rather than living with a factory key.
