These locks not only make things extra difficult for thieves, but can also withstand wind and weather.
A lock that lives up to its name. Everything behind the 83WP & 83WPCS by ABUS padlocks will stay securely locked, whether you want to secure your valuables from theft or certain areas from unauthorized entry. Shackle and lock body made of hardened special steel with NANO PROTECT™ coating also provide extreme corrosion protection.

- Precision pin cylinder
- RK: cylinder can be re-keyed to match an existing key

- 83WP/53: Shackle can be exchanged within seconds
Operation and use:

ABUS 83WP-IC/53 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the ABUS 83WP-IC/53 padlock hold up outdoors on a gate or switch box that gets rained on year round?
Corrosion protection is the whole point of the 83WP EXTREME series. Both the shackle and the lock body are hardened special steel with a NANO PROTECT coating, and the lock carries a full plastic coating that includes cylinder protection and sealed shackle holes. That combination is what lets it sit on exterior grates, gates, cellar windows, switch boxes and barriers without the cylinder silting up or the body rusting through a season.
2) Can the ABUS 83WP padlock be keyed to the key I already carry for the rest of my property?
Yes. The 83WP uses a precision pin cylinder and is an RK lock, meaning the cylinder can be re-keyed to match an existing key. For a property manager standardizing a run of gates and sheds, that means one key across the fleet rather than a ring of one-offs.
3) Does the ABUS 83WP lock shut when you push the shackle down, or do you need the key in hand every time?
Both behaviours exist in the 83WP series. Automatic locking closes with a push on the shackle, no key needed. Key retaining (Z-bar) means the lock will only close with the key in the cylinder, so the key cannot be walked off while the lock hangs open. Pick automatic for gates and tool boxes staff lock behind them all day; pick key retaining where you need the key to stay accounted for at the opening.
4) If the shackle on my 83WP gets cut or damaged, do I have to replace the whole padlock?
No. On the 83WP/53 the shackle can be exchanged within seconds, so a cut or bent shackle is a parts swap rather than a new lock and a new key. That matters on a fleet keyed alike, where scrapping the lock body means re-keying to bring the replacement back onto the same key.
5) I need my padlocks on the same interchangeable core system as my building keying. Is the ABUS 83WP the right pick?
If your site runs a removable or interchangeable core program, look at a padlock built for that instead. The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the Medeco 54515G XT is an indoor/outdoor padlock supplied with a cylinder and a 5/16 inch shackle diameter. The 83WP is a precision pin cylinder lock that gets re-keyed to your existing key rather than accepting a core you pull and swap.
6) Which padlock should be used outdoors instead of the ABUS 83WP-IC/53 when a solid stainless steel body is required?
The Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock has a solid stainless steel body and is supplied less pop-out cylinder. The ABUS 83WP-IC/53 takes a different route to weather resistance: hardened special steel shackle and body with a NANO PROTECT coating, plus a full plastic coating that includes cylinder protection and sealed shackle holes. Choose the Medeco where a stainless body is specified outright; choose the ABUS where a coated hardened steel body and a supplied cylinder suit the opening.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the ABUS 83WP-IC/53 padlock for a small-format interchangeable core keying program?
The Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock is the peer built around a removable core, and it carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. The ABUS 83WP-IC/53 is a steel padlock with a NANO PROTECT coated hardened steel shackle and body and a re-keyable precision pin cylinder, and its shackle can be exchanged in seconds. Both let a facility fold the padlock into a keying system; the Sargent does it by swapping the core, the ABUS by re-keying the cylinder to an existing key.
8) Which padlocks can be keyed into an existing Medeco or Sargent system as an alternative to the ABUS 83WP-IC/53?
For a Medeco program, the 5260 uses M3 key technology and the 521 G8R is supplied less pop-out cylinder so the site's own cylinder goes in. For a Sargent program, the 60-858-2 takes a removable core and the 82-856 is a KESO Series padlock. The ABUS 83WP-IC/53 uses its own precision pin cylinder, which can be re-keyed to match an existing key rather than accepting another manufacturer's core. A facility standardizing every padlock on one high security keyway should match the peer to that system.
9) How wide is the ABUS 83WP-IC/53 padlock body, and will it fit a standard hasp?
The 83WP-IC/53 body measures 2 inches wide. That is the same body width class as the Sargent 82-856, which has a 2 x 2 inch brass case, so if a hasp or shrouded bracket takes a common commercial 2 inch padlock it will take this one.
10) What is the difference between the ABUS 83WP padlock and a brass body padlock like the Medeco 5260 or Sargent 758?
Body material is the split. The 83WP is hardened special steel front to back with a NANO PROTECT coating and a plastic outer jacket, which is the weather answer. The Medeco 5260 is a brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter in satin chrome, and the Sargent 758 is a key retaining padlock in US4 satin brass. Brass resists corrosion by its own nature and takes a finish, so it suits interior and sheltered exterior work; the coated steel 83WP is aimed at fully exposed openings.
11) Is there a padlock alternative to the ABUS 83WP-IC/53 where the key cannot be removed while the lock is open?
The Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish. The ABUS 83WP-IC/53 is configured for either behavior as required: automatic locking, where the shackle is pressed down to lock without a key, or key-retaining, where locking is only possible with the key by way of the Z-bar. Where a facility wants the key captive on every unit as a fixed condition, the Sargent 758 is the key retaining peer.
12) Can an electronic padlock be used in place of the ABUS 83WP-IC/53 on outdoor gates and switch boxes?
The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included. It is a different class of hardware: audit-trail and credential-managed access rather than a mechanical key. The ABUS 83WP-IC/53 is a mechanical padlock with a precision pin cylinder that can be re-keyed to match an existing key, intended for grates, doors, gates, cupboards, tool boxes, cellar windows, sheds, switch boxes and barriers. Where the site needs electronic control of who opens which lock, the Medeco is the substitute; where the site runs on mechanical keys, it is not a like-for-like swap.
13) Is the ABUS 83WP-IC/53 a commercial grade padlock or a consumer one?
It is a commercial product, built for assets at high risk of theft and for controlling access to grates, doors, gates, cupboards, tool boxes, cellar windows, sheds, switch boxes and barriers. This is not a gym locker lock.
14) Does the ABUS 83WP-IC/53 come in more than one size or finish?
One configuration: model 83WP-IC/53, black, with a 2 inch body. There is no size or finish choice to specify when ordering it.
15) Is the Sargent 858 the same padlock as the Sargent 60-858-2?
They are close relatives but not the same order. The Sargent 858 is a non-key retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in a US4 satin brass finish. The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, in the 758/858 Series. The removable core prefix is what lets it drop into a core-based keying program. The ABUS 83WP-IC/53 sits apart from both with a hardened steel body and shackle under a NANO PROTECT coating in black.
