Product News


Abus goes wild
Abus' 83 Padlock Series has been used by Chester Zoo to secure a pack of seven Painted Dogs (or African Hunting Dogs) within its new African-themed exhibit.

Abus USA
ABUS has launched a range of TSA luggage locks for customers travelling to the United States.

A security giant
Abus claims to have created the largest working padlock in the UK, a fully working big brother of the company's integrated 83 range.

Abus beats burglars
When thieves ram-raided the front gates at Bradford engineering distributor Dixon Hall & Co, the impact ripped apart the gate hinges. However, the Abus Diskus 26/70 padlock securing them together held firm.

Improved protection
It's rust, not break-ins, that destroys most padlocks, says Abus, so the company has developed 'NanoProtect' to ensure its essential components are rust-resistant for 40 years.

Instore showcase
Abus 'Shop in Store' merchandising units are now available in the UK for the first time.

Secure series from Abus
The new Abus 83 padlock series comprises 10 different Abus 83 padlocks, from a 45mm brass through to a CEN5 80mm solid steel security block.

Abus unlocks sales
Abus racked up an extra third in UK sales during 2010, in cooperation with wholesale partners Toolbank and Hoppe.

New Year, new price list
Abus says it has worked hard to maintain competitive prices in its January 2011 price list.

Suite dreams
Abus has developed the 86/55 service padlock to fit into master and grand master suites that are installed to ensure multi-level access within an office or other commercial building while maintaining security levels and simple operation.

Keep it safe with Abus
Abus' WBA 100 Wall and Floor Anchor protects valuable home items like motorbikes, lawnmowers, bikes and power tools.

Securing security
Abus has developed a new product to help maintain security - the 46275 padlock chain attachment.

A great combination
Abus has announced improvements to its 158 combination padlock.

Keying up for serviceability
The ABUS 65 padlock has always been available keyed alike but is now offered fully serviceable from ABUS UK's new Service Centre.

Abus offers flexibility
The Abus 65 padlock is the best selling padlock in the world says the company.

Keep it contained
At £261, Abus' new container lock may, at first glance seem ambitiously priced in the current climate. However, with an estimated 100,000 containers across the UK storing goods to an estimated value of £300m, the sales potential becomes a little clearer.

Abus improvements
The 55 range of brass padlocks, the economy end of Abus' offer, now includes a double-bolted shackle and anti-pick paracentric keyway.

New look for Granit range
The Abus Granit range of insurance padlocks now has an enhanced appearance and performance to match.

Abus is key to sales
Abus, the security firm, says in times of recession it's a proven fact that quality security sells more.

New Abus catalogue
Abus has produced a brand new fully illustrated and priced catalogue for their UK 2009 range with over 800 security lines, including Granit, Diskus, shutter, laminated, brass and combination padlocks.

ABUS launches aluminium option
To reduce risk in the commodities crisis, padlock manufacturers have been looking for an alternative to brass for the bodies of their padlocks. ABUS has introduced a range of padlocks with aluminium bodies, which are tougher and lighter than brass.

Kit out your staff
Abus has launched a promotional campaign so that retailers can obtain free clothing for their staff.

Many padlocks...one key with Abus
Recent research by Abus revealed that 85% of domestic security consumers don't understand the concept of keyed-alike padlocks.

ABUS UK Product Showcase

New Floor/ Wall Anchor
ABUS ANCHOR FLOORS FORK LIFT TRUCK IN TEST To prove how secure their WBA 100 Wall and Floor Anchor is, ABUS got a fork lift truck driver to try and remove it. The result was the fork lift rear wheels were lifted off the floor and the anchor was left secure in the ground - proving that the ABUS wall and floor anchor stops anything being lifted. This completely protects the valuable home items like motor bikes, lawn mowers, bikes and power tools.
