For SKU ABS-87886, the shank length means the usable inside height of the padlock shackle—the distance from the top of the lock body to the inside curve of the shackle when the lock is closed. On an ABUS 85/50 padlock, this measurement helps determine whether the shackle will fit through a hasp, chain, gate latch, or other locking point.
For SKU ABS-87886, the ABUS 85/50 has a standard shackle vertical clearance, or “shank length,” of approximately 1 1/8". ABUS lists the 85/50 style with a 50 mm body width, 8 mm shackle diameter, and about 28–28.5 mm vertical shackle clearance, depending on the exact version.
