Schlage KS23D2200 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can a Schlage KS23 padlock be keyed into the same Schlage key system as my building's door locks?
That's the point of the KS23. It's built to be master keyed into any new or existing Schlage key system, so one key can run the padlocks and the door hardware together. The cylinder is a conventional Key-In-Lever 6-pin solid brass, pinned 5, in the C keyway, and it ships keyed different unless you specify otherwise. If you're keying it yourself into an existing system, order the less-cylinder version and drop in your own Key-In-Lever cylinder.
2) Should I order the Schlage KS23 padlock with a cylinder or less cylinder?
With cylinder means it arrives complete, cylinder installed, with two nickel silver cut keys branded Schlage, keyed different unless you specified otherwise. Less cylinder is the body only, for a locksmith or facility that stocks its own Key-In-Lever cylinders and pins them to the house system. If you don't run your own keying operation, take the with-cylinder version. If you're standardizing a campus on one Schlage system and already buy cylinders in bulk, less cylinder is the cheaper path to matching every padlock to the master.
3) I need a padlock that takes an interchangeable core, not a standard Schlage cylinder. What are my options?
The KS23 takes a conventional Key-In-Lever cylinder, not a removable core, so it won't accept an IC core. For a core-based system, look at the Sargent 60-858-2, a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. Sargent also offers the 858 and 758 in non-key-retaining and key-retaining versions if the core isn't the deciding factor and you just want a stainless shackle in a satin brass finish.
4) Will a 5/16 inch shackle fit my hasp, and how does that compare to other commercial padlocks?
A 5/16 inch shackle diameter is on the heavier end for a commercial padlock and needs a hasp slot cut to take it. Among comparable locks, the Medeco 54515G XT electronic padlock also runs a 5/16 inch shackle, and the Medeco 5260 brass body padlock goes heavier at 7/16 inch. The ABUS safety locks are much lighter: 1/4 inch on the 74/40 and 76/40, 3/16 inch on the 72/30, 13/64 inch on the T84MB/30. If your hasp only accepts a 1/4 inch shackle, the KS23 won't go through it.
5) Can I use an ABUS safety padlock in place of the Schlage KS23D for lockout tagout?
They serve different jobs. The ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body width and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, and the ABUS 74/40 is an insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-1/2 inch body width - both lighter-bodied locks built for personal safety lockout. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a commercial brass padlock with a 5/16 inch molybdenum hardened steel shackle and a double deadbolt locking mechanism that master keys into a Schlage key system, which is the opposite of what a lockout device wants. For lockout, take the ABUS; for keyed facility security under one master, take the Schlage.
6) What is a comparable brass-body padlock to the Schlage KS23D if a facility is standardized on Sargent keying?
The Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, which puts it in the same brass-bodied, satin brass appearance class as the Schlage KS23D/KS23F with its 606 satin brass finish. The Schlage padlock takes a conventional Key-In-Lever 6-pin cylinder in the C keyway so it master keys into a Schlage system; the Sargent 758 belongs to the 758 Series. The other distinction is key retention: the Sargent 758 is key retaining, meaning the key does not come out while the shackle is open, while the Schlage carries no key retaining designation.
7) Is the Medeco 5260 a drop-in replacement for a Schlage KS23D brass padlock?
No. The Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F uses a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, so the 5260 will not pass through a hasp or chain sized to the Schlage, and its M3 key technology means it keys into a Medeco system rather than a Schlage C keyway system. Match the shackle diameter to the hasp opening before ordering either one.
8) Which padlock matches the 5/16 inch shackle diameter of the Schlage KS23D?
The Medeco 54515G XT is an indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, supplied non-key retaining and with a cylinder, so it fits the same hasp and chain openings as the Schlage KS23D/KS23F 5/16 inch shackle. The two are credentialed differently: the Medeco 54515G is an electronic padlock in the System Series, while the Schlage takes a mechanical 6-pin Key-In-Lever cylinder in the C keyway that master keys into an existing Schlage key system.
9) Does the Schlage KS23D use a proprietary key system like the Sargent KESO or Medeco M3 padlocks?
No. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F uses a conventional Key-In-Lever 6-pin solid brass cylinder, pinned 5, in the C keyway, keyed different unless otherwise specified, and ships with two nickel silver cut keys branded Schlage - so it master keys into a new or existing Schlage system alongside the door hardware. The Sargent 82-856 padlock is in the KESO Series and the Medeco 5260 uses M3 key technology, each of which ties the padlock to that manufacturer's key system instead. Pick the one that matches the keyway already running in the facility.
10) Is the Schlage KS23 brass padlock tough enough for outdoor gates and exterior use?
The body is brass, which is what handles the weather, and the shackle is molybdenum hardened steel for cut resistance. Schlage states the commercial padlocks meet or exceed ASTM standards for standard steel shackle, shackle cutting and corrosion resistance. A double deadbolt locking mechanism holds both legs of the shackle, so it can't be twisted or pried open on one side. That combination is aimed at exterior gates, meters and yard equipment rather than a clean indoor cabinet.
11) Can the shackle on a Schlage KS23 padlock be swapped out?
Yes. The KS23 uses Schlage's patented interchangeable shackle design, so the lock comes apart without destroying it and the shackle can be changed. That's what lets a facility carry one padlock body and move between the 1-1/2 inch and 2 inch shackle clearances as the application changes, rather than scrapping a lock because the hasp got thicker.
12) Is the Schlage KS23 padlock key retaining? Will the key come out while it's unlocked?
Schlage doesn't state key retention on the KS23, so if the key must stay captive while the lock is open, spec a lock that says so. The Sargent 758 is a key retaining padlock in US4 satin brass. The Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856 are both non-key-retaining, meaning the key pulls out with the lock open. Key retention matters on lockout/tagout and on gates where a dropped key ends up in the grass.
13) I need padlocks for a marine or wash-down environment. Is the Schlage brass padlock right, or is there a better option?
The KS23's brass body and hardened steel shackle are built for corrosion resistance, and Schlage states the line meets or exceeds ASTM standards for corrosion resistance. For constant salt exposure or wash-down, there are more specialized bodies: the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic uses a black sleeve over the body for marine use. Pick the KS23 when keying into an existing Schlage system matters more than the extreme environment.
14) I need a padlock with a 2 inch shackle clearance - what are my options besides the Schlage KS23F?
The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is offered in a 2 inch shackle clearance with the Key-In-Lever cylinder or less cylinder, on a 5/16 inch diameter molybdenum hardened steel shackle. The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. The Sargent 82-856 is a non-key retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle. Measure the hasp staple and the shackle diameter it will accept, since the Schlage 5/16 inch shackle and the peers differ in what they pass through.
15) What padlock should I use outdoors instead of a Schlage KS23D brass padlock?
The Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder, which suits exposed gates, yard enclosures and rooftop equipment. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass-bodied lock in a 606 satin brass finish whose shackle and body meet or exceed ASTM standards for standard steel shackle, shackle cutting and corrosion resistance. Note that both are ordered less cylinder in at least one configuration, so confirm the cylinder is on the order for either.
16) What finish does the Schlage KS23 padlock come in, and will it match my other Schlage hardware?
606 Satin Brass, body and cylinder both. That's the standard satin brass number across commercial hardware lines, so it reads the same as 606 lever trim and exit device hardware on the same openings. It's the only finish the KS23 is built in, so there's no finish decision to make when you order, just cylinder and shackle clearance.
17) How many keys come with a Schlage KS23 padlock?
Two nickel silver cut keys per lock, branded Schlage. On a keyed-different order every padlock arrives on its own key with its own pair, so a run of twenty locks means twenty separate keys unless you specify master keying or keyed-alike at the time of order. Property managers replacing a fleet of padlocks usually want them keyed into the existing system instead, which is what the Schlage keying makes possible.
