Product Information

Full details

This Keypak Security Staple On Plate is designed for users needing a reliable and corrosion-resistant locking point for various applications, from securing gates to hanging items. Its key benefit lies in its heavy-duty zinc-plated steel construction, offering both strength and durability for indoor and outdoor use. A potential caveat is its 50mm staple length, which may be too small for very large chains or heavy-duty security needs beyond general locking.

FAQs

What material is the Keypak Security Staple made from?

The staple is made from zinc-plated steel, providing strength and corrosion resistance.

What are the dimensions of the staple?

The staple itself has a length of 50mm, mounted on a stable plate.

Can this staple be used outdoors?

Yes, the zinc plating offers excellent protection against rust and weathering, making it suitable for outdoor use.

What is included in the pack?

Each pack includes one security staple with its mounting plate and all necessary mounting hardware for immediate installation.

What kind of items can I hang with this staple?

It's ideal for hanging items like flower pots, hammocks, sail shades, or for securing gates, sheds, and storage units.

How do I clean the staple?

Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners to maintain the zinc plating.

Is this suitable for very heavy-duty security applications?

This staple is designed for general security and suspension needs. For high-security applications, consider products specifically rated for extreme loads or higher security grades.

Troubleshooting

Staple feels loose after installation

Check that all mounting screws are fully tightened. If mounted on wood, the wood itself might be too soft; consider using larger screws or a stronger mounting bracket.

Difficulty attaching padlock or chain

Ensure the padlock shackle or chain link is thin enough to pass through the U-hook. The opening is designed for standard padlock shackles.

Signs of rust appearing

Minor surface rust may occur in very humid or salty conditions. Clean gently with a soft cloth. For persistent rust, consider applying a clear sealant over the affected area after cleaning, though this may alter the appearance.

Pros and Cons

  • Resistant to rust and weathering, suitable for outdoor environments.
  • Stable mounting plate enhances security and load-bearing capacity.
  • Easy attachment and detachment of items due to U-hook design.
  • Comes with all required mounting hardware for quick setup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Select Location: Choose a sturdy mounting surface such as wood, brick, or concrete.
  2. Position Staple: Place the staple plate in the desired location.
  3. Mark Holes: Use a pencil to mark the positions of the pre-drilled holes.
  4. Drill Pilot Holes (if necessary): For harder materials like wood or masonry, drill pilot holes slightly smaller than the included screws.
  5. Attach Staple: Secure the staple plate to the surface using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure screws are tightened firmly for stability.

Compatibility:

This staple is compatible with various locking mechanisms such as padlocks, carabiners, ropes, and chains that can loop through the U-hook.

Care:

  • Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight.
  • Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth if cleaning is needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners which may damage the zinc plating.
  • While weather-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh coastal environments may eventually affect the finish. Regular inspection is recommended.
