Abus 83WP/53-300 S2 Weather Protected Padlock, Schlage C Keyway

The ABUS 83WP/53-300 S2 is a Security Level 8 weather-protected padlock from the ABUS 83WP EXTREME series, fitted with a Schlage C keyway cylinder and supplied keyed different. The 53mm hardened special steel body and shackle carry NANO PROTECT coating, and the entire padlock is fully encased in a plastic weather-protective jacket that covers the cylinder, body, and sealed shackle holes against moisture and debris. The cylinder is precision pin, Schlage C keyway, S2 rekeyable, and comes with 2 keys. The shackle diameter is 5/16 inch. SKU: 83WP/53-300 S2.

What makes the ABUS 83WP EXTREME series the correct specification for severe outdoor environments

The 83WP EXTREME designation identifies this as the full weather-protection configuration of the ABUS 83 Series. The padlock goes beyond standard outdoor-rated hardware by combining three distinct layers of protection: the hardened special steel body and shackle, the NANO PROTECT corrosion barrier coating, and a full formed plastic jacket that physically seals every opening including the cylinder bore entrance and both shackle holes. Moisture, salt air, industrial chemicals, and debris cannot reach the metal components or the cylinder internals through any exposed gap.

This level of protection makes the 83WP EXTREME the correct specification for permanent outdoor installations in coastal environments, marine facilities, chemical storage areas, cold-climate locations subject to freeze-thaw cycles, and industrial yards where standard padlocks require seasonal replacement due to corrosion. The 83WP/53-300 S2 ships with a Schlage C cylinder already installed, making it ready to use or rekey on delivery without requiring a separate cylinder sourcing step. For the IC-prep version of the same body without a pre-installed cylinder, the ABUS 83WP-IC/53 weather protected padlock is also stocked.

How the Schlage C keyway and S2 rekeyable system work on this padlock

The 300 designation identifies this as the Schlage C keyway configuration. The Schlage C keyway is one of the most widely installed commercial key profiles in the United States, used across cylindrical locks, mortise locks, and padlocks on offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and institutional properties. The pre-installed Schlage C cylinder allows this padlock to be rekeyed to match an existing Schlage C key system after delivery, so a facility can add it to an existing master key arrangement without ordering a separate cylinder.

The S2 designation confirms the cylinder uses the same rekeyable architecture as other ABUS 83 Series S2 models. The cylinder can be removed through the patented pinning window, repinned to a different key cut, and reinstalled without replacing the padlock body, shackle, or Z-Bar mechanism. This padlock ships keyed different, meaning each unit in an order carries its own unique key cut. Two keys are included. For Schlage C-compatible key blanks and cylinder components, the cylinders, cores, and keys section covers the available options.

Z-Bar locking modes, shackle specifications, and body dimensions

The patented Z-Bar gives this padlock two locking modes in a single unit. In automatic locking mode, pressing the shackle down locks the padlock without a key. In key-retaining mode, the shackle can only be locked using the Schlage C key, and the key cannot be removed until the shackle is fully closed. Switching between the two modes requires no tools and takes seconds. The body width is 2-1/4 inches, depth is 1-23/64 inches, and overall height is 3-25/32 inches. The padlock weighs 0.82 lbs.

The shackle diameter is 5/16 inch and the shackle width is 15/16 inch. Available shackle heights are 1-1/16 inch, 2-1/2 inch, 3 inch, and 4 inch. The shackle can be exchanged within seconds using the Easy Shackle Change design. Confirm the hasp staple opening accepts a 5/16-inch shackle diameter before ordering. For replacement shackles and accessories, the padlock parts and accessories catalog is available.

For the non-weather-protected 83/45-300 S2 with the same Schlage C keyway in a brass body, the ABUS 83/45-300 S2 brass padlock is also available.

Two keys are included. Confirm the Schlage C keyway is compatible with the existing key system before ordering.
