The ABUS 83/55 is a heavy-duty open shackle padlock engineered for high-security environments where durability and resistance to attack are paramount. Constructed with a solid hardened steel body and a hardened special steel shackle, it offers robust protection against sawing, cutting and pulling. The shackle is finished with NANO PROTECT™ technology, ensuring long-term reliability even in corrosive or external settings.

A key feature of the 83 series is the patented Z-bar mechanism. This versatile component allows the padlock to be configured as either key-retaining (the key stays in the lock when open) or non-key-retaining in seconds, making it adaptable to various site requirements. To further enhance its suitability for outdoor use, the lock is fitted with a durable plastic cover that protects the internal cylinder from the elements and debris.

Typically used for securing commercial premises, utility sites and high-value equipment, this padlock is an ideal choice for both standalone security and complex master key installations. Its design ensures it can withstand rigorous use in demanding industrial and commercial applications.
