Abus 200/75C Steel Security Hasp

The ABUS 200/75C is an entry-level steel security hasp rated at ABUS Security Level 2, designed for flush-closing doors where the door leaf and door frame surfaces are level with each other. The steel construction is corrosion protected and the screws are hidden when the hasp is in the locked position. It measures 2-61/64 inches in overall length with a 23/64-inch padlock shackle hole and weighs 0.13 lbs. A padlock is required to operate the hasp and is sold separately.

Where the ABUS 200/75C fits in the hasp security range

ABUS uses a numerical security level rating system across its hasp product line. Level 2 is the entry point of the range and is appropriate for light-duty applications where the primary need is a latching mechanism with a basic padlock loop rather than a hardened security assembly designed to resist determined attack. The 200/75C is suited to residential storage sheds, garden gates, interior utility room doors, cellar windows with low theft risk, tool storage boxes, and other applications where the value of what's being secured is modest and the threat environment is opportunistic rather than targeted.

For higher value or higher risk applications, ABUS offers hasps at security levels 6, 8, and above that use hardened steel staples, protected hinge pins, malleable iron or stainless steel bodies, and coach bolt fastening systems. The correct hasp tier depends on what's being secured and the realistic threat profile of the location. The 200/75C's Level 2 rating is honest about its positioning: it's the right starting point for low-risk applications but not the correct specification for warehouse doors, shipping containers, or high-value storage.

How hidden screws improve security on a basic steel hasp

One of the most common forced entry attacks against hasp-and-padlock installations is screw removal. A conventional hasp with exposed mounting screws can be defeated quickly with a screwdriver, allowing the entire hasp to be lifted off the door without attacking the padlock at all. The 200/75C's hidden screw design addresses this by positioning the mounting screw heads behind the hasp body when the hasp is folded to the locked position and the padlock is in place. The screws are not accessible for removal without first removing the padlock and opening the hasp, which means the padlock must be defeated before the fasteners can be reached.

This is a meaningful security feature even at Level 2. A hasp without hidden screws at any security level is vulnerable to the screw removal attack regardless of how strong the staple or body material is. The hidden screw design raises the minimum effort required to defeat the installation from a screwdriver to a padlock attack, which is the correct baseline for any secured application.

Flush door requirement, dimensions, and padlock selection

The 200/75C is designed for flush-closing doors where both the hasp mounting surface and the staple mounting surface are at the same level. If the door leaf sits higher or lower than the door frame face it closes against, a hinged link hasp designed for non-flush doors is the correct specification instead. The 200/75C will not fully seat on a non-flush door and the padlock engagement will be incomplete.

Overall length is 2-61/64 inches. Width b is 1-9/64 inches. The padlock shackle hole diameter is 23/64 inch, which accommodates standard small to medium padlock shackle gauges. Confirm the padlock shackle diameter does not exceed 23/64 inch before pairing it with this hasp. The hasp weighs 0.13 lbs. For padlock options compatible with the 23/64-inch shackle hole, browse the padlocks section on this site. For the full range of ABUS and other brand hasp and miscellaneous security hardware, the miscellaneous locks catalog covers the complete selection.

Confirm the door closes flush and the padlock shackle diameter is 23/64 inch or smaller before ordering. A padlock is required and not included.
