ABUS 57/50 Touch Biometric Padlock

The ABUS 57/50 Touch Biometric Padlock offers a modern, keyless security solution by utilizing advanced fingerprint recognition technology. This robust padlock eliminates the need for physical keys or memorized codes, allowing for rapid access with a simple touch. Constructed with a durable zinc die-cast body and a hardened Nano Protect™ shackle, it provides reliable protection for your belongings in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Advantages

This biometric padlock features a highly responsive 360-degree capacitive sensor that can store up to 20 unique fingerprints, making it convenient for shared access among family members or colleagues. The setup process is intuitive, allowing administrators to easily register or delete fingerprints without complex software. Its double ball locking mechanism and spring-loaded shackle ensure both high security and ease of use, as the lock opens automatically upon successful identification. The device is powered by a replaceable CR2 battery, and the internal memory ensures that all stored fingerprints remain intact even when the battery is changed.

Suitable for

• Securing garden sheds and tool storage
• Locking gates and outdoor enclosures
• Protecting lockers in gyms or workplaces
• Securing storage units and cabinets

When it may not be suitable

This padlock may not be ideal for environments with extreme industrial chemical exposure or areas where the fingerprint sensor could be consistently covered in thick mud, grease, or ice, which might interfere with accurate biometric reading. It is also not intended for high-security applications requiring heavy-duty bolt cutter resistance beyond its medium-risk rating.
