About this item
The ABUS 140/190C is a stainless steel security hasp rated at ABUS Security Level 8, designed for valuables and goods at high risk of theft and built for extreme corrosion resistance. Both the hasp body and hinge pins are stainless steel, making this the correct specification for outdoor, coastal, marine-adjacent, or high-humidity installations where a standard steel hasp would corrode and weaken over time. The 31/64-inch shackle hole is sized for use with ABUS Diskus padlocks in the 60mm to 80mm size range, which is the ideal padlock pairing for this hasp. A padlock is required and sold separately.
Why stainless steel makes a significant difference in hasp performance
Hardened steel hasps provide excellent initial strength and resistance to cutting and prying, but their corrosion resistance depends on surface treatments like galvanizing or painting that degrade over time, particularly in outdoor or humid environments. Once a surface treatment fails, the base steel corrodes, which can reduce the cross-sectional strength of the hasp body, seize the hinge pins, and make the hardware difficult to operate. Stainless steel hasp construction addresses this directly by using a material that maintains its corrosion resistance without dependence on surface coatings that can chip, scratch, or wear away.
This matters in real-world applications like outdoor storage facilities, boat storage, shipping container yards, agricultural equipment storage, and commercial properties in coastal climates where salt air accelerates corrosion. The 140/190C delivers both the security features of a high-grade hasp and the material durability to maintain those features over an extended service life in conditions where a coated steel hasp would require periodic replacement.
ABUS Level 8 security rating and what the Diskus padlock pairing achieves
ABUS uses a numerical security level system across its product line with Level 1 representing the most basic security and higher numbers representing progressively stronger protection. The 140/190C's Level 8 rating places it in the upper tier of ABUS's hasp range. ABUS notes that a hasp's security rating should always be matched to the padlock it's paired with, which is why the product specifically recommends Diskus padlocks in the 60mm to 80mm size range as the appropriate companion.
The Diskus padlock format has a round body that conceals the shackle inside the padlock housing, leaving very little accessible metal for cutting tools to work against. When paired with the 140/190C's hardened staple and concealed shackle slot, the result is a combination where the two weakest attack points on a conventional hasp-and-padlock assembly - the exposed shackle and the exposed hasp staple - are both significantly reduced in accessibility. The hidden screws ensure that the fasteners cannot be removed while the padlock is in place.
Dimensions, hinge pin protection, and installation
Overall length (Width a) is 7-31/64 inches. Width b is 2-13/64 inches. The shackle hole diameter is 31/64 inch, matching the shackle gauge on ABUS Diskus padlocks in the specified size range. The hinge pins are stainless steel and protected against attack at the hinge point, which is the fold location most vulnerable to driving or prying attacks on hinged hasps. The staple is hardened for resistance to cutting and grinding attacks on the locking loop. Hidden screws prevent fastener access while the padlock is engaged.
For compatible ABUS padlocks to pair with this hasp, browse the ABUS padlocks section where Diskus padlock options are available. The full range of security hasp and miscellaneous lock hardware is available in the miscellaneous locks catalog. For the broader selection of padlocks across all brands and security levels, the padlocks section covers the complete range available on this site.
Confirm the padlock shackle diameter does not exceed 31/64 inch before ordering. A padlock is required and not included. ABUS Diskus padlocks in 60mm to 80mm are the recommended pairing for this hasp.
