Square Brass Body
The Abus 83/50 RK KA-100 padlock features a square brass body with a chrome finish and a hardened steel shackle. Its five-pin Yale No. 8 keyway operates on a keyed-alike system so one key opens multiple locks. The unit is weather resistant and rated for high-security applications. A non-removable key design prevents the key from being withdrawn while the shackle is open.
Sustained Outdoor Exposure
Brass construction resists corrosion during long periods in rain or humidity better than standard steel bodies. The hardened steel shackle maintains cut resistance after repeated lock cycles without deformation. Internal components remain functional because the weather-resistant sealing keeps grit and moisture away from the pins. The lock continues to operate smoothly when left locked for weeks at a time.
Replaces Single-Key Padlocks
This model replaces collections of individually keyed padlocks when a facility manager wants one master key for every gate, cabinet or locker. The upgrade is worth it when key management overhead outweighs the cost of rekeying existing hardware. It does not suit buyers who need unique keys per lock or who require a removable key while the shackle stays open.

Questions about this item
Does the square brass body and 13/16 in thickness generate noticeable heat when left locked outdoors all day?
The padlock is a passive mechanical device with no electronic components, so it does not generate heat during continuous outdoor use.
What existing key or cylinder must I already own for the Yale No. 8 keyway and keyed-alike function to work immediately?
You need an existing key cut to the Yale No. 8 keyway that matches the KA-100 bitting, or a compatible interchangeable core already keyed to that code.
Can the 5-pin or 6-pin interchangeable core be swapped into older Abus housings that use the same keyway?
Yes, the interchangeable core design allows rekeying or transfer into other compatible housings that accept the same core format and Yale No. 8 keyway.
