Purpose and fit

The Abus Lockout Padlock KD Purple 72/40 is a keyed-different mechanical push-button lock designed for lockout-tagout procedures in industrial and commercial settings. Its purple anodised aluminium body and hardened steel shackle provide corrosion and heat resistance for harsh environments. Safety officers and maintenance teams use it to isolate energy sources during servicing.

Upgrade path

This padlock replaces basic keyed-alike or combination locks where individual accountability is required. The keyed-different cylinder ensures each worker holds a unique key, preventing unauthorised removal. The jump is worth it when a site audit demands traceable lock ownership or when existing locks lack the non-removable key feature that stops keys being left in open shackles.

Practical limits

The 1/4 in hardened steel shackle and 13/16 in width across the shackle restrict use to hasps, chains or valve handles that accept those dimensions. The 1 1/16 in vertical clearance and 3/4 in horizontal clearance limit the thickness of the isolation point. The mechanical push-button mechanism has no electronic audit trail, so it cannot satisfy systems that require digital access logs.

Questions about this item

What shackle diameter does the 1/4 in hardened steel shackle need to pass through?

The shackle is 1/4 in diameter and requires a matching hole or hasp opening of at least that size.

How do I set up the keyed-different cylinder so the key cannot be removed while unlocked?

Insert the key, turn to unlock, and remove the key only when the cylinder is returned to the locked position; the non-removable-key feature blocks withdrawal in the open state.

When should I replace the anodized aluminium body or the hardened steel shackle?

Replace the padlock if the anodized coating shows deep corrosion, the shackle exhibits visible deformation, or the key no longer turns smoothly after lubrication.
