Padlock ABUS 794759 model 40 mm shackle corrosion-resistant brass cylinder

ABUS 794759 model 40 mm shackle corrosion-resistant brass cylinder is a compact padlock intended for securing gates, lockers and storage units. The lock combines a corrosion-resistant construction with a brass cylinder and a 40 mm shackle to provide keyed security for general-purpose protection in both outdoor and indoor environments. Its design focuses on reliable everyday use where a small, robust padlock is required.

Advantages

The padlock's corrosion-resistant construction and brass cylinder support long-term use in exposed conditions. The 40 mm shackle and durable body offer a balance between compact size and mechanical strength appropriate for medium-security needs. Supplied as a keyed padlock, it is suitable for routine locking tasks where a standard keyed mechanism and straightforward operation are required.

Suitable for

• Securing gates and doors
• Locking lockers, cupboards and storage units
• Protecting toolboxes and sheds
• Securing chains and simple locking bolts

When it may not be suitable

This padlock is not designed for high-security applications that require advanced tamper resistance, electronic access control, or protection against heavy professional attacks. For valuables at high risk of targeted theft or for critical industrial security, a higher-grade or specialised locking system should be considered.

Key specifications

• Shackle diameter and clearance: 40 mm shackle size (compact shackle length)
• Cylinder material: brass cylinder
• Construction: corrosion-resistant finish suitable for outdoor and indoor use
• Operation: keyed locking mechanism

How to use

Open the padlock by inserting and turning the supplied key to release the shackle, place the shackle through the hasp, chain or fixture, and close by pressing the shackle into the lock body until it engages. Remove the key after locking. For outdoor use, ensure the locking surfaces and shackle are free from dirt and debris before operation to maintain smooth function and reduce wear from environmental exposure.

What to consider before purchase

• Required security level: suitable for medium-risk applications, not for high-security needs
• Shackle clearance: verify that the 40 mm shackle fits the hasp, chain or fixture you plan to secure
• Location and exposure: corrosion-resistant construction is suitable for outdoor use but extreme environments may need specialised materials

Usage recommendations

To prolong service life, lubricate the cylinder periodically with a graphite or lock-specific lubricant and rinse away salt or grime after exposure to marine or heavily soiled environments.
