The prestigious CEN Grade 6 which represents the very highest level of security has also been awarded to the ABUS 83CS/80 padlock.
ABUS is keen to stress the relevance of these awards to security distributors. The 83 range offers off the shelf padlocks from a solid brass 45mm, to the totally rust free ‘Submariner’ (IB), backed by ‘Extreme’ outdoor options (WP), closing with ‘Rock’ solid steel, and closed shackle (CS) variants, all from one renowned brand complete with a clean sweep of Sold Secure awards.
Distributors can also offer the 83 range of padlocks as part of serviced master key suites on their own locking systems, thus providing site areas padlocked as part of a total security solution at the appropriate security level. ABUS Sales Director David Hudson commented:
“This is more than a win/win. ABUS is proud of the Sold Secure clean sweep giving distributors a secure choice of padlocks enabling industrial and commercial sites to confidently secure all access points as part of their new or existing security suite arrangements.”
