Product Information

Full details

The Abus 24IB Series Diskus® Padlock is designed for users needing robust security in harsh and corrosive environments. Its primary benefit is superior protection against corrosion and physical attacks, making it ideal for marine applications or high-dust areas. A potential caveat is its specialized design, which may not fit all standard locking mechanisms without sufficient clearance. This 60mm silver Diskus® padlock features a stainless steel construction, a precision pin tumbler cylinder with anti-pick pins, and a solid lock body resistant to drilling and pulling. Its unique Diskus® 360° protection prevents sawing attacks, and 'Deep Weld Technology' enhances case strength.

FAQs

What makes the Diskus® design more secure against sawing?

The Diskus® design is round and solid, providing no flat surfaces for a saw blade to grip effectively. It offers 360° protection, making it extremely difficult to cut through with a saw.

Is this padlock suitable for coastal areas?

Yes, the ABUS 24IB Series Diskus® Padlock is constructed from stainless steel and features a keyway cover, making it highly resistant to corrosion and ideal for marine and coastal environments.

Can this lock be picked?

The lock features a precision pin tumbler cylinder with anti-pick mushroom pins, designed to resist picking attempts.

What does ABUS Security Level 7 mean?

ABUS Security Level 7 indicates a high level of security, suitable for securing valuable goods or protecting against considerable risk of theft. It is part of ABUS's graded security system.

How does 'Deep Weld Technology' improve the lock?

Deep Weld Technology refers to ABUS's manufacturing process that creates a very strong bond between the lock body components, significantly increasing its resistance to physical attacks and ensuring maximum case strength.

Will the lock retain the key when unlocked?

No, the lock retains the key *until it is locked*. Once unlocked, the key can be removed. This feature prevents accidental lockouts.

What are the exact dimensions of the padlock?

The padlock has an overall width of 60mm, overall height of 60mm, and overall depth of 26mm. The shackle dimensions are: width 13mm, height 17mm, and diameter 8mm.

Troubleshooting

Key will not turn or lock/unlock

Ensure the shackle is fully closed and aligned. Check for debris in the keyway; try cleaning with compressed air and applying graphite lubricant. Verify you are using the correct key.

Lock feels stiff or difficult to operate

The lock may require lubrication. Use a graphite-based lock lubricant specifically designed for padlocks. Insert the key, turn it slightly, and apply lubricant into the keyway. Work the key back and forth.

Corrosion on the exterior

While stainless steel is highly resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or pollutants might cause surface discoloration. Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Key is difficult to insert

Check the keyway for obstructions. Ensure the key is inserted fully and correctly aligned. If the key is bent, it may need replacement.

Care:

  3. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth if it becomes dirty. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
  4. Store keys in a dry place.
