Padlock with resettable combination, aluminium

On this page you will find the lock with article number LC 21025RBL. Below you can read what to look out for when choosing and using a padlock with a combination code.

When should you choose a combination padlock?

A combination lock is practical when several people need access to the same place, for example a storage room, cabinet, gate or toolbox. You don't have to hand out keys or ask for them back: anyone who knows the code can open the lock. The risk of a lost key disappears, but you do need to keep the code safe.

Resettable: set the code yourself

With a resettable lock you decide which combination opens the lock, and you can change it later. This is useful when a colleague leaves or when you no longer trust the code. Preferably avoid an obvious combination such as 123 or a year of birth, and write down the new code straight away in a safe place.

What should you look for in an aluminium padlock?

Aluminium is light, so the lock is easy to take along to a building site or in a van. Besides the material, also look at the number of dials and the size of the shackle. With three dials there are a thousand possible combinations; more dials give greater variation. A shackle of 25 mm fits most hasps and staples and small cabinets, but check beforehand that the shackle fits through the eye of your gate or door.

Alternatives in the range

If you want a heavier lock, also take a look at the brass combination padlocks from Abus, among others, which you can find under related products and in the Combination padlocks category. These have a different design and price, so compare the specifications on the product pages.
