ABUS Submariner 83WPIB53NKD Weatherproof Rekeyable Padlock 53mm Blue Boxed
The ABUS 83WPIB53NKD is a Submariner series weatherproof rekeyable padlock designed for harsh outdoor and industrial environments. It uses a solid machined brass body with chrome plating beneath a protective plastic jacket, paired with an 8 mm stainless steel shackle.
