ABUS 2ALHB/40-75 Lockout Padlock β Long Shackle, Keyed Alike, Aluminum Body Overview
The ABUS 2ALHB/40-75 lockout padlock isolates hazardous energy during service and maintenance under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147, holding an energy-isolating device in the safe position so equipment cannot be re-energized while a worker is exposed. The "40" designates a 40Β mm aluminum body; the "75" designates the extended long shackle, which reaches through deeper hasps, scissor clamps, and stacked lockout hasps that a standard shackle cannot span.
This unit ships keyed alike β every padlock in the matched set opens with the same key, which suits a single authorized employee managing multiple isolation points without juggling a key ring. If different workers must each control their own lock, choose a keyed-different set instead so no two locks share a key. Either way, the core lockout/tagout rule holds: each worker applies their own lock and their own tag, and only that worker removes them.
The aluminum body is lighter than steel and resists corrosion, making it a practical everyday lockout padlock for electrical panels, valves, and machine disconnects. Aluminum is a non-ferrous metal, but we do not publish a certified dielectric rating for this lock β treat it as a mechanical isolation device, not a tested insulating tool. Build it into a complete lockout tagout program alongside lockout tagout tags, cable lockouts, and a stocked lockout station so locks, tags, and devices stay together and audit-ready.
What It Is Built For
| Use case | Fit | Buyer guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Single authorized worker managing several isolation points | Excellent | Keyed-alike means one key opens the whole set β fast for one employee locking multiple disconnects on the same job. |
| Locking deep hasps, scissor clamps, or stacked lockout points | Excellent | The 75 mm long shackle spans gaps a standard shackle can't reach; pair with a lockout hasp for grouped points. |
| Multi-worker group lockout (each person their own lock) | Limited | Keyed-alike defeats per-worker isolation. Use a keyed-different set so no two workers share a key; each applies their own lock and tag. |
| Electrical panel and disconnect lockout | Good | Lightweight aluminum body suits panels and switches; we do not certify it as a dielectric tool, so follow your electrical safety procedure. |
| Outdoor or washdown valve isolation | Good | Aluminum resists corrosion better than plain steel; verify suitability for your specific environment before standardizing. |
| Building a starter lockout/tagout kit | Good | A clean entry padlock β add tags, cable lockouts, and a station so devices and locks stay organized. |
Lockout/tagout devices are part of an OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 energy-control program. A lock isolates hazardous energy (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical) so equipment cannot be re-energized during service. Each authorized worker applies their own keyed-different lock and a tag; never share or remove another worker's lock. The hardware is only as good as the written procedure, training, and verification of zero energy behind it. Browse lockout/tagout devices.
Pros & Cons
- Long 75 mm shackle reaches deep hasps, scissor clamps, and stacked lockout points a standard shackle can't span
- Keyed alike β one key opens every lock in the set, ideal for a single authorized worker
- Lightweight aluminum body is easier to carry on a belt or ring than steel equivalents
- 40 mm body sized for panels, valves, and machine disconnects
- Aluminum resists corrosion better than plain steel for everyday shop use
- Works with group lockout hasps and tags to build a complete 1910.147 program
- Keyed alike is the wrong choice for multi-worker group lockout β choose keyed different so no two workers share a key
- No certified dielectric/non-conductive rating is published β do not treat it as a tested insulating tool
- Aluminum body is lighter-duty than hardened-steel padlocks for high-security applications
- Long shackle is more exposed than a short shackle and easier to leverage if abused
How It Compares
Compare ABUS lockout padlocks before standardizing your program. All belong in the lockout padlocks collection.
| Model | Shackle | Keying | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| ABUS 2ALHB/40-75 (this lock) | Long (75 mm) | Keyed alike | One worker, deep hasps and stacked lockout points |
| ABUS 2ALHB/40 (standard) | Standard | Keyed alike | One worker, shallow single-point isolation |
| ABUS 74/40 10-Pack | Standard | Keyed different | Multi-worker group lockout where each person needs a unique key |
If multiple employees service the same equipment, the keyed-different ABUS 74/40 10-pack is the safer fit β each worker controls a unique key. Use this 2ALHB/40-75 when one authorized worker needs a long-shackle lock and the speed of a single shared key. For multi-lock points, add a lockout hasp so several padlocks secure one isolation device at once.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does keyed alike mean on the ABUS 2ALHB/40-75?
Keyed alike means every padlock in the matched set opens with the same key. It's convenient for a single authorized worker locking several isolation points on one job, since you carry just one key. For multi-worker lockout, choose keyed different so no two workers share a key.
How long is the shackle on the 2ALHB/40-75?
The -75 in the model number designates the extended long shackle, giving roughly 75 mm of clearance β enough to reach through deeper hasps, scissor clamps, and stacked lockout points where a standard shackle is too short. Browse more options under lockout padlocks.
Is this padlock OSHA-compliant for lockout/tagout?
It's a lockout/tagout safety padlock designed for OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 energy-control work: it holds an energy-isolating device in the safe position so equipment can't be re-energized during service. Compliance also depends on your written procedure, tags, and training β pair it with lockout tagout tags and a documented program.
Can multiple workers use this keyed-alike set for group lockout?
No β keyed alike defeats per-worker isolation because one key opens every lock. For group lockout, use a keyed-different set so each worker controls a unique key, and have everyone apply their own lock through a lockout hasp.
Is the ABUS 2ALHB/40-75 non-conductive for electrical work?
The body is aluminum, a non-ferrous metal, but we do not publish a certified dielectric or non-conductive rating for this lock. Treat it as a mechanical isolation device and follow your electrical safety procedure β don't rely on it as a tested insulating tool.
What size equipment is the 40 mm body suited for?
The /40 designation indicates a 40 mm aluminum body, a common mid-size that fits most electrical panels, valve handles, and machine disconnects. For tight or oversized lockout points, confirm the long shackle clears your specific hasp or device.
How is this different from the standard-shackle ABUS 2ALHB/40?
Same 40 mm aluminum body and keyed-alike keying β the difference is shackle length. This -75 version has the long shackle for deep or stacked lockout points, while the standard 2ALHB/40 suits shallow single-point isolation. See both in lockout padlocks.
Should I buy this or the ABUS 74/40 keyed-different 10-pack?
Buy this 2ALHB/40-75 when one authorized worker needs a long-shackle lock and the convenience of a single key. Buy the 74/40 10-pack when several workers each need their own unique key for group lockout. Both live in our lockout padlocks collection.
Does each worker still need their own lock and tag?
Yes. Under OSHA 1910.147, each worker applies their own lock and their own tag, and only that worker removes them. Keyed-alike locks share a key, so they're meant for one authorized employee β not for multiple workers sharing isolation duty.
Can I use this padlock with a lockout hasp?
Yes. A lockout hasp lets several padlocks secure one isolation device at the same time, so the point stays locked until every worker removes their own lock. Pair this padlock with a hasp from our lockout hasps collection for grouped lockout points.
What else do I need to build a complete lockout program?
Beyond padlocks, a complete OSHA 1910.147 program typically includes lockout tagout tags, cable lockouts for awkward isolation points, and a stocked lockout station to keep everything organized and audit-ready.
Is the aluminum body durable enough for daily shop use?
Aluminum is lighter than steel and resists corrosion well, which makes the 2ALHB/40-75 practical for everyday belt carry and routine isolation. For high-security needs, a hardened-steel padlock is tougher β match the lock to your risk and environment. Compare options in lockout padlocks.
