Padlock ABUS T65AL/40 aluminium body 40 mm shackle length red

ABUS T65AL/40 is a compact padlock with an aluminium body and a 40 mm shackle length, finished in red. Designed for everyday security tasks, this padlock combines corrosion-resistant materials and a lightweight construction to protect gates, lockers, sheds and cabinets. The lock is supplied with keys and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use where a medium-security, portable solution is required.

Advantages

The aluminium body offers corrosion resistance and reduced weight compared with steel-bodied padlocks, making the lock easier to carry and less prone to surface rust in outdoor environments. The 40 mm shackle length and compact overall size allow use on narrow hasps and confined spaces while maintaining reliable mechanical operation. A clear red finish improves visibility and makes the padlock easy to identify among other locks.

Suitable for

• Securing garden gates and small outdoor doors
• Locking lockers, toolboxes and storage cabinets
• Protecting sheds, hobby rooms and bicycle accessories
• Temporary or portable security where weight and corrosion resistance matter

Key specifications

How to use

Open the padlock using the supplied key, insert the shackle through the hasp or item to be secured and push the shackle into the lock body until it clicks. Remove the key and test the lock by pulling the shackle lightly to ensure it is fully engaged. To unlock, insert the key and rotate it to release the shackle. Store the keys in a safe, accessible place and keep spare keys for authorised users.

Usage recommendations

For longevity in outdoor locations, avoid direct prolonged exposure to aggressive chemicals and clean the shackle periodically. If used in coastal or highly humid environments, apply a light lubricant occasionally to the shackle and keyway to maintain smooth operation. Choose this 40 mm aluminium padlock when you need a balance of portability, corrosion resistance and everyday security.
