55/40 KD Brass Padlock — Keyed Different
This Abus 55/40 KD padlock is a rectangular brass body lock with a 4-pin cylinder and a standard steel shackle. Each unit is keyed differently so one key opens only its own lock. It is suited for gates, sheds, toolboxes and similar low-risk enclosures where individual key control is preferred.
Upgrade from single-key sets and basic steel locks
Replaces padlocks that share a common key across multiple points, removing the risk that one lost key compromises every entry. The brass body resists corrosion better than plain steel bodies, and the 4-pin cylinder offers more key combinations than 3-pin budget models. The jump is worthwhile when each access point needs its own unique key and the environment is exposed to weather.
Simple shackle fit — watch shackle clearance
The standard shackle measures 13/16 in height and 13/16 in width with a 1/4 in diameter, so verify the hasp or chain link accepts those dimensions before purchase. The lock is not rekeyable and has no interchangeable core, so a lost key means replacing the whole unit. No control key registration is required, and the brass body needs no special tools to install.

Questions about this item
Will the 13/16 in shackle height and 13/16 in shackle width clear my hasp or chain link?
The standard shackle provides 13/16 in vertical clearance and 13/16 in horizontal clearance between the shackle legs, with a 1/4 in diameter steel shackle.
Does the key insert one way only, and which side faces up?
The Abus keyway uses a reversible key; it inserts either orientation and turns clockwise to unlock.
The brass body is exposed to rain — will the 4-pin cylinder seize or corrode?
The lock is rated weather resistant; the brass body resists corrosion and the 4-pin cylinder tolerates moisture, but periodic lubrication with graphite or PTFE spray keeps the mechanism smooth.
