Product Information
Full details
The ABUS 85 Series Padlock is designed for homeowners, property managers, and security-conscious individuals seeking a reliable, versatile solution for securing storage lockers, gates, sheds, and equipment. Its primary strength lies in its solid brass construction paired with NANO PROTECT™-plated steel, offering exceptional weather resistance and long-term durability. While it provides excellent protection against common tampering techniques, users should note that as a standard pin tumbler lock, it is intended for general security applications rather than high-security, heavy-duty industrial environments.

FAQs
Is the ABUS 85 Series waterproof?
It is highly corrosion-resistant due to the NANO PROTECT™ plating on the shackle and the brass body, making it ideal for outdoor use, though it is not technically 'waterproof' as water can enter the keyway.
Which sizes feature double bolting?
Double bolting is a standard feature on all ABUS 85 Series models sized 30mm and larger.
Can I have multiple padlocks keyed alike?
Yes, the ABUS 85 Series can often be ordered as keyed-alike sets from authorized dealers, allowing you to use one key for multiple locks.
What is the benefit of the paracentric keyway?
The paracentric keyway profile is designed to make it very difficult for standard picking tools to reach the pins inside the cylinder.
How often should I lubricate the padlock?
Lubrication frequency depends on environment. In standard conditions, a light application once or twice a year is sufficient. In salty or dusty environments, check every three months.
Troubleshooting
The key is difficult to insert or turn.
Clean the keyway with compressed air to remove debris and apply a small amount of silicone-based lock lubricant.
The shackle does not pop open after unlocking.
The spring-loaded mechanism may be stuck due to grime. Clean the shackle and the locking channels with a cloth and ensure they are properly lubricated.
The key is stuck inside the lock.
Ensure the key is turned to the fully neutral 'open' or 'closed' position before attempting to pull it out. Do not use force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that your hasp or chain opening is compatible with the shackle diameter of your chosen 85 Series size. When installing, ensure the lock is positioned to avoid direct water collection inside the keyway if possible. Routine maintenance involves keeping the keyway free of debris. If the lock begins to feel stiff, apply a light, non-greasy silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for padlocks. Do not use oil-based lubricants or graphite, as these can attract grit and lead to mechanical failure over time. For maximum security, always ensure the shackle clicks firmly into the locked position after pushing it down.
