Full details
The ABUS Brass Padlock 2420 is an ideal security solution for homeowners and professionals looking to protect toolboxes, sheds, cellar doors, and lockers. Featuring a robust solid brass body and a long-reach hardened steel shackle, it offers reliable theft deterrence for everyday items. While its security level 7 rating makes it highly effective for standard property protection, it should not be used as the primary security for high-value items or exposed high-risk areas where heavy-duty industrial bolt cutters might be employed.

Troubleshooting

Ensure the lock is not under extreme tension from the hasp and check that no dirt is trapped in the shackle holes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the ABUS 2420 is straightforward: simply insert the key, turn it to retract the pins, and open the shackle. To lock, push the shackle down into the body until you hear the engagement click. For long-term maintenance, keep the keyway clear of debris. If the lock feels stiff after prolonged outdoor exposure, apply a small amount of non-greasy, acid-free lubricant specifically designed for cylinder locks. Avoid using heavy oils, as these can attract dust and eventually clog the precision pin mechanism. Periodically wipe the brass body with a clean, dry cloth to preserve the finish.
