Lockout Padlock for Group Isolation
The Abus 72/40 KAx12 is a keyed-alike padlock designed for lockout-tagout programmes where multiple energy points share one key. Its anodised aluminium body and hardened-steel shackle suit industrial maintenance teams that need consistent, corrosion-resistant hardware across a facility.
Thermal and Environmental Performance
The anodised aluminium body is rated both corrosion resistant and heat resistant, so the lock withstands humid plant rooms and elevated ambient temperatures without degradation. Mechanical push-button operation requires no batteries or electronics, eliminating any power draw or active cooling concerns.
Build Integration and Clearance
A 1 in shackle height and 3/4 in horizontal clearance let the shackle pass through standard lockout hasps and valve covers, while the 13/16 in width across the shackle fits common latch points. The non-removable key prevents accidental key loss during procedures, and the open shackle style allows quick engagement without a separate header.

Questions about this item
How is the 1 in shackle height installed on a hasp, and what step do people skip?
Insert the hardened steel shackle through the hasp hole, close the padlock, then remove the key — the non-removable key design prevents accidental unlocking if you forget to take the key out.
What maintenance will the anodized aluminum body and hardened steel shackle need over time?
The corrosion resistant and heat resistant coatings require no routine maintenance; if the keyed alike cylinder stiffens, apply a dry graphite lubricant — avoid oil which attracts grit.
Which limit appears first when the lock is left outdoors in constant sun and rain?
The anodized finish on the aluminum body resists UV and moisture, so the 1/4 in hardened steel shackle will show surface oxidation before the body coating degrades.
