ABUS Touch 57/50 Fingerprint Padlock - Weather Resistant
The ABUS Touch 57/50 is a keyless fingerprint padlock designed for outdoor and exposed applications. It provides fingerprint-based access without the need for a mechanical key or PIN code, making it suited to situations where key management is inconvenient or where multiple authorised users require independent access.
The body features a weather-resistant housing rated for dust and heavy rain, with a hardened steel shackle finished with an anti-rust coating. At 50mm body width, it is compact enough for standard hasp and staple fittings on gates, sheds, and storage units.
Multiple fingerprints can be enrolled, allowing shared access for family members, colleagues, or other authorised users without issuing physical keys.
Access method: fingerprint only. There is no PIN code, RFID, or mechanical key on this padlock. For an overview of how fingerprint access works — including performance in outdoor conditions and common failure modes — see our guide to fingerprint access methods.

Battery & Power
- The Touch 57/50 is battery-powered. Refer to the user manual for battery type, replacement procedure, and low-battery indicator details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a key override if the battery runs flat?
No. The Touch 57/50 does not include a mechanical key cylinder. If the battery is depleted before replacement, electronic access will not function. ABUS recommends replacing the battery promptly when the low-battery indicator activates. Refer to the user manual for the recommended procedure.
How many fingerprints can be enrolled?
The Touch 57/50 supports multiple enrolled fingerprints, allowing more than one authorised user to operate the lock independently. For the exact storage capacity, refer to the ABUS Touch 57 User Manual.
Is this padlock suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The housing is rated for dust and heavy rain, and the hardened steel shackle includes an anti-rust coating. It is intended for exposed outdoor applications including gates, sheds, and garages. It is not tested for sustained immersion and should not be positioned where water will pool around the body or sensor.
Will the fingerprint sensor work in wet conditions?
The padlock is weather resistant, but fingerprint sensor performance may be reduced if the finger or sensor surface is wet. ABUS recommends ensuring both the finger and sensor are dry at the time of scanning for reliable operation.
What hasp or staple size does the 50mm body suit?
The 8mm diameter shackle and 50mm body width are compatible with standard 50mm-rated hasp and staple fittings. Confirm the internal dimensions of your hasp eye before ordering to ensure the 8mm shackle will clear. Not sure whether this padlock suits your application? See our guide to choosing the right smart padlock.
Additional Information
Unlike most conventional padlocks, the Touch 57/50 has no mechanical key cylinder. There is no physical backup access method if the battery fails completely. Battery replacement before full depletion is essential. For a detailed discussion of what "no key override" means in practice for smart padlocks, see our guide to smart padlocks with no key override.
Weather resistant means the padlock is built to handle dust and rain in outdoor environments. It is not tested for submersion or prolonged standing water. Avoid positioning the padlock where water will pool around the body or sensor housing. For how dust and water resistance is graded against the IP scale, see our guide to IP ingress protection ratings.
For best results, enrol each finger multiple times during the initial setup process. Fingerprint biometrics can be affected by cuts, abrasions, dry skin, or skin conditions. Where reliable access is critical, enrolling more than one finger per authorised user is recommended as a precaution.
The 24mm horizontal and 36mm vertical shackle clearance determines what hasp, chain, or loop fitting this padlock will accept. Measure the internal opening of your hasp or fitting before ordering to confirm the shackle will engage correctly.
