2. Product Features

  • Solid Brass and Steel Construction: Features a robust brass block with an integrated steel jacket for increased security and resistance against physical attacks.
  • Hardened Steel Shackle: The padlock's shackle is constructed from hardened steel and treated with NANO PROTECT for enhanced corrosion resistance and durability.
  • Key-Retaining Mechanism: This padlock is designed with a key-retaining feature, meaning the key cannot be removed until the padlock is fully locked. This helps prevent accidental unlocking or leaving the key in the lock.
  • Keyed Alike: This specific model is 'Keyed Alike', meaning multiple padlocks purchased with the same code can be opened with the same key.

3. Setup and Installation

The ABUS 92/65 KA padlock is designed for straightforward use. No complex installation is required.

  1. Inspect the Padlock: Upon receiving, inspect the padlock and keys for any signs of damage or manufacturing defects.
  2. Identify Application Point: Determine the item or area you wish to secure (e.g., gate, shed, container, roller shutter). Ensure the padlock's dimensions are suitable for the hasp or chain.
  3. Test Operation: Before securing, insert the key and turn it to ensure smooth locking and unlocking action.

4. Operating Instructions

To operate your ABUS 92/65 KA padlock:

  1. To Unlock: Insert the key into the keyway. Turn the key clockwise (or counter-clockwise, depending on the lock mechanism) until the shackle releases and springs open. Remove the key.
  2. To Lock: Close the shackle by pushing it firmly into the padlock body. Insert the key into the keyway. Turn the key to engage the locking mechanism. The key will remain in the lock until it is fully locked. Once locked, remove the key.

Note: Due to the key-retaining feature, the key cannot be removed from the lock until the shackle is fully engaged and the lock is secured.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your padlock.

  • Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of graphite-based lubricant or a specialized lock lubricant into the keyway. Avoid using oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt and dust, leading to jamming.
  • Cleaning: Wipe the padlock body with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and grime. For brass components, a mild brass cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by thorough drying.
  • Key Care: Store keys in a safe place. Avoid bending or forcing keys, as this can damage both the key and the lock mechanism.
  • Environmental Exposure: While brass offers good corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions (e.g., extreme cold, saltwater environments) may affect performance. Consider additional protective measures if used in such conditions.

6. Troubleshooting

  • Key is Stiff or Hard to Turn:
    • Apply a small amount of lock lubricant into the keyway.
    • Ensure the key is fully inserted and not bent or damaged.
  • Shackle Does Not Open/Close Smoothly:
    • Check for any obstructions in the shackle holes or around the shackle mechanism.
    • Lubricate the shackle entry points.
  • Padlock is Difficult to Operate in Cold Temperatures:
    • Extreme cold can sometimes affect the internal mechanisms. Ensure the lock is well-lubricated with a suitable cold-resistant lubricant.
    • If possible, warm the lock slightly before attempting to open.
  • Key Cannot Be Removed After Unlocking:
    • This is a feature of the key-retaining mechanism. The key can only be removed when the padlock is in the fully locked position.
