Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This padlock is ready to use out of the box. To operate, insert the key into the cylinder and turn to unlock the shackle. Close the shackle fully and turn the key to lock, removing the key afterwards.
Compatibility: Compatible with any hasp or loop that can accommodate the padlock's shackle diameter and width. Check the dimensions of the hasp against the padlock's shackle clearance before purchase for best fit.
Care: To maintain performance, periodically wipe the padlock with a dry cloth. Avoid exposing the lock mechanism to excessive dirt or moisture. If the lock becomes stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied to the keyhole to help restore smooth operation. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
