Master Lock 21KZ 1-3/4" Laminated Steel Padlock, 5-Pin W27 Cylinder, Zero-Bitted
The Master Lock 21KZ is the industry standard for commercial and industrial physical security. Engineered to withstand severe physical abuse, this padlock features a 1-3/4" (44mm) wide laminated steel body constructed from zinc-plated steel plates for maximum strength, corrosion resistance, and structural integrity. The 15/16" (24mm) tall hardened steel shackle provides exceptional resistance against cutting and sawing, making it a reliable choice for job sites, perimeter gates, and utility facilities.
As a Zero-Bitted (KZ) model, this padlock features a rekeyable 5-pin W27 cylinder that is assembled with zero-bitted pins (all depth cuts are flat/blank). This allows locksmiths and facility managers to quickly and easily key the lock to match their existing master key systems or specific user keyways.
⚠️ Important Ordering Note: Zero-bitted padlocks do not include cut operational keys. They are designed explicitly for locksmiths, institutions, and security personnel who plan to pin the cylinder to an existing key code upon arrival.
