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 83CS/45-WO S2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I get ABUS 83CS/45 padlocks keyed alike with my building's Schlage keys?
Yes. The 83CS/45 is built to take Schlage keyways, and you pick the keyway when you order: 100, 200, 300, 306, 323, 400, 700, 800, or M1. Match the code stamped on the cylinders already in your doors and a locksmith can key the padlocks into the same system. The cylinder also comes out of the lock body and can be re-keyed to an existing key later, so a fleet of these can be pulled into a masterkey system after the fact rather than being replaced.
2) Does the ABUS 83CS/45 lock shut on its own, or do I have to turn the key to lock it?
Either, and you decide. The 83 body uses a patented Z-Bar that flips the lock between key-retaining and non-key-retaining in seconds, so you can set it to snap closed on the shackle without the key (handy for crews closing out gates and tool boxes) or set it so the key stays captive until the lock is shut, which is what you want when nobody may walk off with the padlock unlocked. It ships self-locking capable out of the box.
3) What is the difference between the ABUS 83CS closed shackle padlock and a standard open shackle padlock?
CS means closed shackle: the brass body is raised up around the sides of the shackle so only 55/64 inch of it is exposed horizontally. That is what makes bolt cutters and pry bars difficult, because there is nothing to get jaws around. The trade is access, since a standard open shackle padlock swallows a fatter hasp staple or a chain link that this one will not clear. Pick CS for anything at real theft risk and left unattended, and pick an open shackle when you need the reach.
4) What else could I use instead of the ABUS 83CS/45 brass padlock?
For a straight brass body swap on the same 5/16 inch shackle, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock is the closest peer and comes from the 20 Series. If you run a Sargent keying system rather than Schlage, the Sargent 758 is the key retaining version in US4 satin brass and the Sargent 858 is the non-key-retaining one with a stainless shackle. Where you need interchangeable core so the site locksmith can rotate cores without pulling locks, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock on a 2 inch stainless shackle. None of those are closed shackle, though, so if the bolt cutter resistance of the raised 83CS body is the reason you are buying, stay on the 83CS.
5) What is the closest brass-body padlock to the ABUS 83CS/45 with the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter?
The Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock uses the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter as the ABUS 83CS/45 and is likewise a brass-body padlock, so it keeps the same shackle-to-hasp fit. The 83CS/45 differs in that its body is a closed-shackle design measuring 1-27/32 inches wide with 55/64 inch of horizontal shackle clearance and 1-1/32 inch of vertical clearance, so the opening it goes through is shorter than a comparable open-shackle lock. Both are brass-substrate padlocks; check the hasp staple length before swapping, since the closed-shackle body of the 83CS/45 gives less vertical room.
6) The ABUS 83CS/45 is self-locking. What if I want the key held captive until the lock is closed?
The ABUS 83CS/45 is self locking, meaning it snaps shut without the key, and its Z-Bar design lets you convert between key-retaining and non-key-retaining operation in the field. If you would rather buy the behavior fixed rather than set it, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, so the key cannot be withdrawn while the lock is open. The Sargent 858 is the non-key-retaining counterpart with a stainless steel shackle. Key retaining is the usual choice for lockout and for gates where a lock left hanging open is the failure mode.
7) We run Sargent small format interchangeable core throughout the building. Can I key the ABUS 83CS/45 into that system, or do I need a different padlock?
The ABUS 83CS/45 is rekeyable and its cylinder comes out to be re-keyed, and it is ordered by Schlage keyway - 100, 200, 300, 306, 323, 400, 700, 800, M1, or without a cylinder lock. That is a Schlage keyway family, not a Sargent core. If your master key system is Sargent, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle in the 758/858 Series and accepts your existing core directly. Order the 83CS/45 in the w/o Cylinder Lock configuration only if you intend to fit a Schlage-keyway cylinder to it.
8) My hasp staple needs about 2 inches of shackle clearance. Will the ABUS 83CS/45 reach, and if not what will?
No. The ABUS 83CS/45 is a closed shackle lock and gives 1-1/32 inch of vertical shackle clearance and 55/64 inch horizontally, so a staple needing roughly 2 inches of vertical reach will not seat. For that opening, the Sargent 60-858-2 carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the Sargent 82-856 is a non-key-retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle in the KESO series. Measure from the top of the hasp staple to the surface it sits on before deciding, since the closed body is exactly what makes the 83CS/45 short in that dimension.
9) What is the 'w/o Cylinder Lock' option on the ABUS 83CS/45 and should I order that one?
That is the padlock body supplied without a cylinder in it, so your locksmith can drop in a cylinder off your own keying system. Order it if you are already running a Schlage masterkey and want the padlock pinned in-house, or if you buy cylinders in bulk. If you just want a working lock out of the box, order one of the numbered keyways instead: 100, 200, 300, 306, 323, 400, 700, 800, or M1.
10) Is the ABUS 83CS/45 padlock OK outdoors on a gate or utility cabinet year round?
Yes, it is rated weather resistant. The body is solid brass with chrome plating, and the hardened special steel shackle carries a Nano Protect coating specifically for corrosion resistance, so it holds up on exterior gates, cellar windows, sheds, switchgear, and barriers. Brass is the right body material for a wet or coastal exterior; it will not rust the way a plain steel shell does.
11) If I break the shackle on an ABUS 83 padlock do I have to replace the whole lock?
No. The 83 body is built for an easy shackle change, so a damaged shackle swaps out in seconds rather than the padlock going in the bin. The cylinder pulls too. For a property manager running dozens of these on gates and cages, that means a cut lock is a parts fix, not a re-key of the whole site.
12) Can I use the ABUS 83CS/45 as a lockout padlock for LOTO?
It is carried as a lockout device, and the key-retaining setting is the one you want for lockout work: set with the Z-Bar so the key cannot be withdrawn until the lock is closed on the point, which keeps a technician from pocketing the key with the lock hanging open. Be aware it is a keyed brass padlock rather than a dielectric plastic-body lock, so if your program requires a non-conductive body for electrical isolation, this is not the right tool.
13) Is a stainless steel body padlock a better pick than the ABUS 83CS/45 for a coastal exterior gate?
They are different corrosion strategies rather than one replacing the other. The ABUS 83CS/45 is weather resistant with a chrome plated solid brass body and a special alloy steel shackle carrying a NANO PROTECT coating for extra corrosion resistance. The Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, in the G8R series, and is supplied less pop-out cylinder, so it is ordered as a body that you cylinder separately. If you want the lock to arrive complete and keyed, the 83CS/45 ships with the cylinder in nine Schlage keyways; if your facility standard is a stainless body, the 521 G8R is the stainless route.
14) Would an electronic padlock do the job of the ABUS 83CS/45, or is it a different animal?
It is a different animal. The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included, in the System Series - it matches the 83CS/45 on shackle diameter but it is an audited electronic credential lock, which means a programmed key, software, and a way to manage users. The ABUS 83CS/45 is a mechanical pin tumbler lock that is rekeyable and ordered in a Schlage keyway, so it works off the keys your techs already carry with no system behind it. Choose the XT when you need to know who opened what and when; choose the 83CS/45 when the requirement is a keyed padlock on an existing key system.
15) We use the ABUS 83CS/45 for lockout. Which of the brass padlocks are actually comparable for that use?
The ABUS 83CS/45 is a commercial brass padlock also suited to lockout device duty, and it is rekeyable so a facility can key its lockout locks differently by trade. Among brass-body peers, the Sargent 758 is key retaining in US4 satin brass, which is the behavior most lockout programs want because the key stays with the worker while the lock is open. The Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856 with its 2 inch by 2 inch brass case are non-key retaining, which allows a lock to be closed without the key present. The 83CS/45 sits in between, since its Z-Bar lets you set it either way.
16) Is the ABUS 83CS/45 a commercial duty padlock or a homeowner lock?
Commercial. It is specified for securing goods of higher value at high risk of theft, on grilles, doors, gates, cupboards, tool boxes, cellar windows, sheds, switchboards, and barriers. Solid brass body, hardened special steel shackle, high precision pin tumbler cylinder with a patented pinning window. It is the kind of lock a contractor puts on a jobsite gang box or an MRO buyer standardizes across a plant, not a luggage lock.
