- Is this padlock really weatherproof?
- Yes. The body and shackle are fully coated and the keyway has a cover, so it is designed for exterior use. The brass body will not rust like steel, though the coating can wear over years of use.
- What does 70/45 mean in the name?
- 70 is the ABUS product line and 45 is the body width in millimeters, about 1-3/4 inches. The HB63 suffix refers to the shackle configuration.
- What is keyed alike versus keyed differently?
- Keyed alike means several locks open with the same key, handy for one keyring. Keyed differently means each lock has its own key. Choose before ordering, since it cannot be changed later.
- How thick a hasp will the shackle fit?
- The shackle has 2-1/2 inches of vertical clearance, so it fits fairly thick hasps and chains. Check your hasp thickness against that clearance before buying.
- Is it good enough for a front gate?
- For a residential gate it is a reasonable choice, with good weather resistance and a 5-pin cylinder. For high-value property, a hardened-shackle security padlock offers more cut resistance.
- Does it come with more than one key?
- ABUS normally supplies two keys with this padlock. Confirm the key count for the specific keying option you choose.
