Choosing a C45 model
The C45 family includes several body and shackle combinations, so the best version depends on the location and the level of weather exposure and physical attack resistance required.
C45 Brass
A brushed-brass body with an 8 mm molybdenum-alloy shackle. A 6.35 mm shackle version is also available for tighter openings.
C45 Nickel Plated
A nickel-plated body designed for improved weather resistance, with selected models offering either an 8 mm molybdenum-alloy or stainless-steel shackle.
C45 Stainless Steel
A stainless-steel body and 8 mm stainless-steel shackle for applications where corrosion resistance is a priority.
C45 Steel
A hardened-steel body with an 8 mm molybdenum-alloy shackle and anti-drill cylinder for a higher-security C45 option.
Keying and master-key applications
The C45 uses a 6-pin R48 cylinder on the LKW5 (C4) profile. Depending on the exact model and the existing system, compatible padlocks may be supplied keyed alike or incorporated into a planned master-key arrangement. Keying should be confirmed before ordering so the correct cylinders and quantities are selected.
For sites that need multiple locks under controlled access, see our Master Key Systems and Commercial Locksmith services.
