Lockout Padlock 72/40 Keyed Alike

The Abus 72/40 KAx12 is a blue anodised aluminium lockout padlock with a 1 in hardened steel shackle. It is keyed alike so every lock in the set opens with the same key. The non-removable key prevents the key from being withdrawn while the shackle is open. Corrosion and heat resistance suit industrial safety lockout procedures.

Maintenance teams needing identical keys

Safety coordinators who want one key for multiple isolation points will find this set convenient. Workers who require a unique key per lockout point should choose a keyed-different variant. Environments demanding a shrouded or insulated shackle are not addressed by this open-shackle design.

1 in shackle clearance decides fit

The 1 in vertical shackle clearance determines whether the lock fits through your hasp, chain link or valve handle. Measure the gap on your equipment before ordering. The 1/4 in shackle diameter must also match the hole size of the lockout device.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 1 in shackle on the 72/40 padlock and what step is often missed?

Align the 1/4 in hardened steel shackle with the body opening, push until the non-removable key mechanism engages, then turn the key to verify the shackle is fully seated — skipping the verification turn is the common error.

What maintenance will the anodized aluminum body and hardened steel shackle need over time?

Wipe the anodized aluminum body and hardened steel shackle with a dry cloth after exposure to moisture; apply a light PTFE lubricant to the keyway annually to keep the mechanical push-button action smooth.

Which limit appears first when the padlock is used repeatedly in a corrosive, high-heat environment?

The anodized coating on the aluminum body will show surface degradation before the hardened steel shackle or the corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant properties are compromised.
