Product Overview

The 82Ti/70 Titalium Shutter Lock is engineered for durability and resistance. Its key features include:
- TITALIUM™ Aluminium Alloy Body: Provides high security with reduced weight.
- 12mm Special Locking Bolt: Features NANO PROTECT™ plating for extreme corrosion resistance.
- Precision Pin Cylinder: Offers a large number of key differences for enhanced security.
- Paracentric Keyway: Designed to provide optimum picking resistance.
- Automatic Locking: The bolt locks automatically by pushing it into place, no key required for locking.
- Keyed Alike: This specific model is part of the KA8518 keyed alike series, meaning multiple locks can be opened with the same key.
Setup and Installation
The ABUS 82Ti/70 Titalium Shutter Lock is designed for straightforward application. No complex installation is required.
- Inspect the Lock: Before first use, inspect the lock for any signs of damage or manufacturing defects. Ensure the key operates smoothly.
- Identify Application Point: Determine the specific location where the lock will be used (e.g., shutter, rolling gate, basement door). Ensure the hasp or locking mechanism is compatible with the lock's dimensions.
- Insert Key and Unlock: Insert the key into the keyway and turn it to retract the locking bolt.
- Position the Lock: Place the lock through the hasp or locking points of the item you wish to secure.
- Engage Automatic Locking: Push the locking bolt firmly into the lock body until it clicks into place. The lock is now secured. No key is needed for this step.
- Verify Locking: Gently pull on the lock to ensure the bolt is fully engaged and the item is securely locked.
Note: This lock is ideal for applications with limited accessibility due to its design, which allows the bolt to be pushed in without needing to manipulate a shackle.
Operating Instructions
Locking the Padlock
- Align the locking bolt with the opening in the lock body.
- Push the locking bolt firmly into the lock body until you hear a distinct click.
- The lock is now automatically engaged. Verify by attempting to pull the bolt out without the key.
Unlocking the Padlock
- Insert the correct key into the keyway.
- Turn the key clockwise (or counter-clockwise, depending on the lock's orientation) until the locking bolt retracts.
- Remove the lock from the secured item.
- Remove the key from the lock.
Important: Always keep your keys in a safe and accessible location. For keyed alike systems (KA8518), ensure all keys are accounted for.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will prolong the life and ensure the smooth operation of your ABUS Titalium Shutter Lock.
- Lubrication: Periodically (e.g., every 6-12 months, or more frequently in harsh environments), apply a small amount of non-greasy, graphite-based lubricant or a specialized lock spray into the keyway and around the locking bolt mechanism. Avoid using oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt and dust.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the lock with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt and grime. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Corrosion Protection: The NANO PROTECT™ plating on the bolt provides excellent corrosion resistance. However, in extremely wet or corrosive environments, additional protective sprays designed for metal may be applied to the exposed metal parts.
- Key Care: Do not force the key if it feels stiff. Ensure the key is fully inserted before turning. Bent or damaged keys should be replaced.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Key is stiff or difficult to turn. | Dirt/debris in keyway, lack of lubrication, bent key. | Apply lock lubricant to keyway. Clean key. If key is bent, replace it. Do not force the key. |
| Locking bolt does not engage smoothly. | Dirt/debris in mechanism, lack of lubrication. | Clean the bolt and the opening. Apply lock lubricant to the bolt and internal mechanism. |
| Lock is frozen in cold weather. | Moisture inside the lock has frozen. | Use a de-icing spray specifically designed for locks. Avoid using hot water as it can re-freeze. |
| Key breaks inside the lock. | Excessive force, worn key, faulty key. | Do not attempt to remove the broken piece yourself if it's deep inside. Contact a professional locksmith. |
