Frequently asked questions

Common questions about ABUS from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between ABUS 41 Eterna and GRANIT series padlocks?

The ABUS 41 Eterna series features a steel body and shackle with a standard shackle design, intended for outdoor use where corrosion resistance is needed. The GRANIT series also has a steel body and shackle but is positioned as a high-security line, often with additional hardening and precision tolerances. Both are available in master-keyed configurations. The 41 Eterna models in our catalog have vertical clearances of 25/32 inch and 63/64 inch, while GRANIT models offer 1 3/64 inch and 1 5/16 inch. Selection depends on the required security level and shackle clearance.

Are ABUS master-keyed padlocks supplied with the master key?

It depends on the specific model. Some ABUS master-keyed padlocks, such as the GRANIT 37/55 MK KD and 37/70 MK KD, are supplied with the master key included. Others, like the 41 Eterna 41/40 MK KD and 41/50 MK KD, and the 85/40 and 87 series models, do not include the master key. The product specifications indicate whether the master key is included. For master key systems, the master key is typically ordered separately or retained by authorized personnel. Always verify the 'Master Key Included' field when ordering.

What does the vertical clearance specification mean for ABUS padlocks?

Vertical clearance is the distance between the inside top of the shackle and the top of the padlock body, measured in inches. It determines the maximum thickness of the hasp or fitting that the shackle can accommodate. For example, the ABUS 70IBHB/45 MK has a 2 1/2 inch vertical clearance, suitable for thick gates or hasps, while the 41/40 MK KD has a 25/32 inch clearance for thinner applications. Selecting the correct vertical clearance ensures the padlock fits the intended hardware without excessive play.

Can ABUS padlocks be rekeyed or integrated into an existing master key system?

Some ABUS padlocks are rekeyable, as indicated by the 'Rekeyable' specification. For instance, the 70IBHB/45 MK is not rekeyable, but other models may be. Master-keyed padlocks are designed to operate under a specific master key code, such as 195, 694, 0403, or 504. To integrate into an existing system, the master key code must match. If rekeying is required, consult the product datasheet for compatibility. 3G Electric provides model numbers and key codes to help determine suitability for a given master key system.

What materials are used in ABUS padlock bodies and shackles?

ABUS padlock bodies are commonly made of brass or steel. Brass bodies are used in series like 85/40, 87, and 89, often with finishes such as yellow, gold, or blue. Steel bodies are found in the 41 Eterna and GRANIT series, typically with black or silver finishes. Shackles are made of steel or stainless steel. Stainless steel shackles, as in the 70IBHB/45 MK and 70IB/45 MK KD, offer higher corrosion resistance. The material choice affects durability and environmental suitability. Specifications list the exact materials for each model.

What is the significance of the master key code on ABUS padlocks?

The master key code identifies the specific master key that operates a set of master-keyed padlocks. For example, code 195 for the 41/40 MK KD, code 694 for GRANIT models, code 0403 for the 85/40, and code 504 for the 87 series. Padlocks with the same master key code can be opened by the same master key, while individual keys operate only their respective padlocks. This allows hierarchical access control. When ordering, specify the master key code to ensure compatibility with existing keys. The code is listed in the product specifications.
