ABUS Submariner 83WPIB53NC Weatherproof Rekeyable Padlock 53mm Blue Display Pack
The ABUS 83WPIB53NC is part of the ABUS Submariner 83WPIB series, designed for harsh outdoor and industrial environments. It features a solid machined brass body protected by a full plastic weather cover and a stainless steel shackle to help resist corrosion, moisture ingress, and physical attack.
Unlike laminated weatherproof padlocks, the Submariner range uses a solid brass body combined with double ball locking and a rekeyable precision pin cylinder, making it suitable for exposed sites such as ports, utilities, transport depots, and outdoor storage areas.
