This pack holds ten keyed-alike ABUS padlocks: the same key opens all ten. It is used for access control on large sites, when several authorized people must open many cages, service doors or containers. 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 a distribution centre, for example, team leaders use this pack to secure up to ten cages, loading docks or service doors, 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 ten-pack ABUS keyed-alike padlocks

The pack of ten keyed-alike AU-72IB40-HB40 padlocks equips large sites with many points to lock. In a warehouse or distribution centre, it closes the cages, loading docks and service doors that team leaders must be able to open with a single key. At a mine or quarry, it locks the parts stores and containers spread across the site. The stainless steel shackle and corrosion-resistant body suit padlocks that stay outdoors, 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 cages, service doors or containers to be secured, and hand out the common key only to authorized people. Since it opens all ten 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 Cee-Tec grey safety glasses (YA12E93102DX) with a foam seal, Endura smooth cowhide work gloves (G301), a Delta Plus Independence high-visibility type 1 class E hardhat (TA14LRHV), a black Pioneer 7729 ARC 2 arc-rated vest (V7729) and MAX 33 dB disposable earplugs (OA1100). PPE selection depends on hazards and the procedure; the listed items do not authorize energized work.

Consider the labels (CAET9) for maintenance identification and do-not-operate marking, the labels (CAET2) in plastic with French do-not-start wording, in a pack of 5, and the lockout (CAC3) for compatible long and wide circuit breakers. Verify compatibility with the installation and site procedure.
