Disc Padlocks

Diskus padlocks are a wonderful design since there is very little or no shackle on view when the padlock is fitted . This makes them particularly hard to cut off. They are key retaining which means that the lock must be shut and locked before the key will release. You can see here how a discus lock is much more tightly fitting than the brass lock which was easily cut.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Disc Padlocks FAQs

A Diskus padlock has a round stainless steel body that shields nearly the entire shackle, leaving no easy point of attack for cutting or prying tools. When fitted correctly, very little of the shackle is exposed, which makes bolt cutter attacks extremely difficult.
This design makes Diskus padlocks ideal for use with hasp and staple fittings, gates, or chains where protection from cutting tools is critical.

Yes. Diskus padlocks are designed for outdoor and long-term use, featuring stainless steel bodies and rust-resistant mechanisms. For marine environments or saltwater exposure, we recommend the ABUS Marine Grade Diskus range, which offers award-winning corrosion protection and performance.

Yes. Because they expose so little of the shackle, all Diskus padlocks are classed as “closed shackle” by insurance standards. If your insurer requires a specific CEN, Sold Secure, or BSEN rating, simply check the product listing - relevant logos and ratings are shown for each model.
Many of our ABUS Diskus padlocks meet or exceed these security standards.

Cheaper Diskus-style padlocks on the market can occasionally seize or jam due to poor internal tolerances or moisture ingress. This is why Padlocks.co.uk only recommends ABUS Diskus padlocks, which are precision-engineered and thoroughly tested to prevent locking mechanism failure. While low-cost imitations exist, the inconvenience and risk of trying to remove a jammed lock far outweigh the small price difference.

Yes. Most ABUS Diskus padlocks can be supplied keyed alike, allowing one key to open multiple locks, or integrated into a master key system for larger facilities. All key records are securely maintained by Nothing But Padlocks, enabling easy reordering of matching locks or keys in future.

- Hasp and staple fittings on gates and doors
- Roller shutters and garages
- Chains or securing equipment outdoors
- Storage units and sheds where attack resistance is critical

Their compact, enclosed design offers excellent protection for both indoor and outdoor security applications.
