This pack holds five keyed-alike ABUS padlocks: the same key opens all five. It is used for access control, when several authorized people must open the same padlocks on several locker rooms, storerooms or site trailers. Its aluminum body, corrosion-resistant according to ABUS, measures 86.5 X 39 X 19 mm (3.41 X 1.54 X 0.75 in) and its 6.5 mm (0.26 in) diameter stainless steel shackle offers 39 mm (1.54 in) of vertical clearance. The stainless steel shackle resists rust, and the padlock locks without a key, simply by pushing down the shackle.

Choosing keying and controlling keys

Keyed-alike padlocks are meant for access control. In an arena, for example, attendants use this pack to secure up to five locker rooms or equipment storerooms, then open them all with the same key, without carrying a full key ring.

Warning: a keyed-alike padlock must never be used for a worker's personal safety lockout (energy isolation). If someone else holds the same key, they could remove the padlock while the worker is exposed, putting their life at risk. For personal protection, choose a keyed-different padlock. Keyed-alike padlocks are better suited to access control, for example on a job site, so that all foremen can open containers, site trailers and tool cages with a single key.

This model is also available keyed different: the keyed-different padlock (CA72IB40HB40KD1) ABUS AU-72IB40-HB40, sold individually, useful for personal lockout, provided exclusive keying and control of every key copy are ensured.

Applications of the five-pack ABUS keyed-alike padlocks

The pack of five keyed-alike AU-72IB40-HB40 padlocks suits facilities with several access points to secure. In an arena or sports facility, it locks the locker rooms and equipment storerooms that attendants must be able to open. On a job site, it closes the site trailers and containers assigned to the foremen. The stainless steel shackle and corrosion-resistant body suit padlocks exposed to rain or moisture, and the three colours help identify the zones or contractors. These padlocks never replace a personal lockout padlock.

Inspecting the cylinder and shackle

Place the padlocks on the locker rooms, storerooms or site trailers to be secured, and hand out the common key only to authorized people. Since it opens all five padlocks, keep an up-to-date list of who holds one and replace the pack if a key is lost. Keep the cylinder clean and take out of service a padlock whose shackle is bent or that does not close properly.

Suggestions for the lockout workstation

Based on task-specific risks, consider 3M Privo safety glasses (YA12261) with a clear polycarbonate lens, Zenith PEHP fibre gloves (GZ13PEHPFN) with porous nitrile coating, a V-Gard cap-style type 1 class E hardhat (TA84), a blue Pioneer 7730 ARC 2 arc-rated vest (V7730) and 3M Push-Ins 318-1001 earplugs (OA1001C). PPE selection depends on hazards and the procedure; the listed items do not authorize energized work.
