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/50-10-KA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I key ABUS 83CS/50 padlocks to my existing Schlage building key?
Yes. The 83CS/50 takes a removable cylinder that can be pulled and re-keyed to match an existing key, and it is offered in Schlage keyways 100, 300, 400, 410, 700, 800 and 900. Pick the keyway that matches the cylinders already in your doors, order keyed alike if you want one key across a run of locks, or keyed different if each lock should stand alone. That is how you fold padlocks into a master key system instead of carrying a separate padlock key.
2) What is the difference between a closed shackle padlock and a standard one, and do I need closed shackle here?
Closed shackle means the lock body is raised up around the shackle so almost none of it is exposed, which is what makes bolt cutter attack much harder. The CS in 83CS/50 is exactly that. Use it on gates, grilles, cellar windows, barriers, storage containers and anything sitting outdoors or out of sight where someone has time to work on it. If the lock is indoors on a cabinet or tool box and the risk is casual rather than deliberate, a standard exposed-shackle padlock is easier to thread through a hasp and costs you less clearance.
3) Does the ABUS 83CS/50 hold the key when unlocked, or can I pull the key out while it is open?
Both, and you choose which without ordering a different lock. The 83CS/50 has a patented Z-Bar that converts key retaining to non-key retaining and back in seconds. Key retaining means the key stays trapped until the lock is closed again, which is what a property manager wants so a tech cannot walk off leaving a gate open with the key in a pocket. Non-key retaining lets you snap the lock shut and take the key with you. Same part, field-selectable.
4) I need a padlock keyed into a Schlage keyway - is the ABUS 83CS/50 or the Schlage KS23D the right one?
Both work off Schlage keying. The ABUS 83CS/50 is a Schlage-keyway brass padlock whose cylinder can be removed and re-keyed to match an existing key, and it is offered keyed alike or keyed different across keyways 100, 300, 400, 410, 700, 800 and 900. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock in the 20 Series with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter. The ABUS runs a 3/8 inch shackle against the Schlage's 5/16 inch, and the ABUS body is the closed shackle style.
5) What should I use instead of the ABUS 83CS/50 on a facility standardized on small format interchangeable core?
The ABUS 83CS/50 takes a removable cylinder that can be re-keyed to an existing key and is stocked in Schlage keyways 100 through 900, keyed alike or keyed different. Where the facility keying system is built on interchangeable cores rather than pinned cylinders, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle in the 758/858 Series. That lets the padlock take the same core the rest of the facility carries instead of being pinned to a keyway.
6) The ABUS 83CS/50 closed shackle body will not fit my hasp - what opens up more shackle room?
The ABUS 83CS/50 gives 55/64 inch horizontal shackle clearance and 1-7/64 inch vertical clearance, because the raised closed shackle body shrouds the shackle to resist bolt cutters. Where a hasp or gate eye needs more room to pass, 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 a stainless steel shackle. Both are open shackle designs rather than the shrouded body the ABUS uses.
7) Do I need a separate key retaining and non-key retaining padlock, or can one part do both?
The ABUS 83CS/50 uses a patented Z-Bar for a 2-in-1 function that converts key retaining to non-key retaining and back within seconds, so one part number covers both behaviors. In the Sargent line those are separate part numbers: the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, and the Sargent 858 is non-key retaining with a stainless steel shackle, also US4 satin brass. The Sargent 82-856 is likewise non-key retaining. If some doors need the key trapped until the lock is closed and others do not, the ABUS covers both from one SKU while the Sargent approach is two.
8) Will an ABUS 83CS/50 hold up outdoors on a gate or in a coastal environment?
It is built for it. The body is solid brass with chrome plating, and the special alloy steel shackle carries a NANO PROTECT coating for corrosion resistance. Brass does not rust, so the body handles wet and salt air, and the coated shackle is the part that usually fails first on a cheap lock. This is rated commercial, not residential, so it is the grade you put on a yard gate, a switchgear cabinet or an exterior barrier.
9) Can I key ABUS padlocks alike with my ABUS door cylinders?
Yes. The 83/50 can be combined keyed alike with ABUS profile cylinders including the C83, EC550, EC660 and XP20S, so one key runs the gate padlock and the door. If your building is on Schlage cylinders instead, take the Schlage keyway route and order the padlock in the matching keyway with a removable cylinder re-keyed to your system.
10) What do I have to specify when ordering ABUS 83CS/50 padlocks for a facility?
Two things: keying and keyway. Keying is either KA, keyed alike so every lock in the order opens on one key, or KD, keyed different so each lock has its own. Keyway is 100, 300, 400, 410, 700, 800 or 900, and it has to match the Schlage keyway already in use at the site or the key you plan to carry will not enter. Sort the keyway from an existing cylinder first, then decide KA versus KD by how you want the site to operate.
11) What are the alternatives to an ABUS 83CS/50 brass padlock, and how do they differ?
A few, depending on what you need. The Medeco 5260 is also a brass body padlock but with a heavier 7/16 inch shackle and M3 key technology in satin chrome. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a lighter 5/16 inch shackle. On the Sargent side, the 758 is key retaining and the 858 is non-key retaining with a stainless shackle, both in US4 satin brass, and the 60-858-2 is the removable core version with a 2 inch stainless shackle for facilities standardized on interchangeable core. Where the 83CS/50 differs from all of them is the closed shackle body, which is the anti bolt cutter feature, plus the Z-Bar that lets one lock work either key retaining or not.
12) My facility runs interchangeable core. Is the ABUS 83CS/50 the right padlock for that?
Not the closest match. The 83CS/50 has a removable cylinder that can be pulled and re-keyed to an existing key, which covers a Schlage keyed system, but it is not an IC padlock. If you are standardized on removable core so your locksmith swaps cores instead of re-pinning, look at the Sargent 60-858-2, a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. Choose the ABUS when the closed shackle body and bolt cutter resistance are what the opening needs.
13) Is the ABUS 83CS/50 the right padlock for a wet or coastal exterior application?
The ABUS 83CS/50 pairs a chrome plated solid brass body with a special alloy steel shackle carrying NANO PROTECT coating for extra corrosion resistance, which is the corrosion answer within a brass body lock. For an all-stainless exterior application, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder in the G8R Series. The Medeco removes brass and plating from the exposed body entirely; the ABUS keeps the brass body and protects the shackle by coating.
14) Can I use the Medeco 54515G XT in place of the ABUS 83CS/50?
They are not interchangeable. The ABUS 83CS/50 is a mechanical padlock with a high precision pin tumbler cylinder that can be pulled and re-keyed to an existing key, ordered keyed alike or keyed different in Schlage keyways. The Medeco 54515G is an XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock in the System Series, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder. The Medeco belongs to an electronic access control system with audit and credential management behind it; the ABUS works off the same mechanical key as the rest of a Schlage keyed system. Its shackle is also 5/16 inch against the ABUS 3/8 inch.
15) I want the padlocks keyed alike with the profile cylinders on the rest of the property - which one does that?
The ABUS 83CS/50 can be combined keyed alike with ABUS profile cylinders C83, EC550, EC660 and XP20S, so gates, cabinets and switchgear carry the same key as the cylinder doors, and it is ordered keyed alike or keyed different in Schlage keyways 100, 300, 400, 410, 700, 800 and 900. The comparable brass padlocks solve keying inside their own systems instead: the Medeco 5260 uses M3 key technology in the 52 Series, and the Sargent 82-856 sits in the KESO Series. Matching an existing masterkey system means matching the system the rest of the property already runs.
16) Can a locksmith re-pin the ABUS 83CS/50 cylinder in the shop?
Yes. It runs a high precision pin tumbler cylinder with a patented pinning window, the cylinder lifts out of the lock, and it can be re-keyed to match an existing key. It can also be keyed into many popular security keyways. That is a bench job, not a factory order, so you can buy stock and pin to the customer's system.
17) If the shackle on a padlock gets cut, do I have to replace the whole lock?
On the ABUS 83CS/50 the shackle is an easy change item and can be exchanged within seconds, so a damaged shackle does not condemn the brass body. Among the comparable padlocks the Medeco 521 G8R is supplied less pop-out cylinder, meaning the cylinder is specified separately rather than the shackle. For a fleet where shackles take the abuse, the serviceable-shackle design keeps the body, cylinder and keying in place.
18) Which padlock matches a satin brass finish package?
The ABUS 83CS/50 body is chrome plated solid brass, so the visible finish is chrome rather than brass tone. Where the hardware package calls for satin brass, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish and the Sargent 858 is the non-key retaining padlock in the same US4 satin brass with a stainless steel shackle. The Medeco 5260 brass body padlock is finished satin chrome, which sits closer to the ABUS.
19) How wide is the ABUS 83CS/50 body compared with other commercial padlocks, for a tight hasp?
The ABUS 83CS/50 measures 1-57/64 inch in product width, and it is rated for commercial use. Among the comparable padlocks, the Sargent 82-856 carries a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case. If the hasp pocket or the gap between gate leaves is the constraint, take the width off the case dimension rather than the shackle size, since the ABUS closed shackle body is raised around the shackle.
