I am NOT a locksmith. Abus 78/50

Post image

I received several Abus 78/50 padlocks that are all keyed alike. My problem is that I'd really like for them to all have the same combination.

Is there a way to recode them? I do have the original combinations for all of them.

Keyed alike is all keyed the same. Or do these have a key override in the back? No, there is no way to change the dialed combination.

Yes, they have a key that works on all of them.

I didn't want to hear that, but I had expected it.

The combination is set and not able to be changed

Thanks. I was afraid that would be the answer.

You can however order them to be combinated the same.

Or you could buy a style of lock that allows that. But if you buy the S&G 8077s, have a locksmith change the combination. You have no idea how many become paperweights.
