What this padlock is
The Abus 83/45 RK KA-100 is a square brass-body padlock with a standard steel shackle. It is supplied keyed alike so multiple locks open with the same key. The lock uses a 5-pin or 6-pin Yale No. 8 keyway and features a non-removable key design. It is suited for indoor or outdoor use where weather resistance and high-security rating are required.
The spec that decides fit
Shackle diameter is 3/8 in, shackle height is 1 in and shackle width is 15/16 in. Body height measures 2 3/64 in, body width 1 53/64 in and body thickness 13/16 in. Verify these dimensions against the hasp or chain link you intend to secure. The interchangeable core allows rekeying later if key control needs change.
Installation and common issues
No tools are required beyond the key; simply insert the shackle through the hasp and lock. Because the key is non-removable when unlocked, the key stays in the lock during use, which prevents accidental removal. Ensure the shackle clearance matches the 15/16 in internal width so the lock seats fully.

Questions about this item
What does the 5 pin or 6 pin cylinder mean for day-to-day security?
The cylinder uses either five or six pins, giving a high number of key combinations and making picking or bumping considerably harder than lower-pin designs.
How does the Yale No. 8 keyway affect key management?
The Yale No. 8 keyway is a widely used profile, so replacement keys or additional locks on the same system can be cut by most locksmiths without special blanks.
Will the 1 53/64 in wide square brass body fit a standard hasp or chain link?
The body measures 1 53/64 in wide and 13/16 in thick with a square profile, so it fits typical hasps and chain links sized for medium-duty padlocks.
