FAQs
What materials are these hasps made from?
These Hiatt Hardware Wire Hasp and Staples are constructed from durable wire with a black finish.
Does this product come with a padlock?
No, the padlock is not included with the Hiatt Hardware Wire Hasp and Staple. You will need to provide your own padlock.
What is the primary use for this product?
This product is primarily used for securing gates, sheds, storage units, and other access points by providing a latch that can be locked with a padlock.
Can I use this for outdoor applications?
Yes, it is suitable for outdoor applications, though regular maintenance may be required to prevent corrosion in harsh weather conditions.
How many screws are needed for installation?
The number of screws required depends on the design of the specific hasp and staple set and the mounting surface. Typically, 2-4 screws are needed for the hasp and 2-4 for the staple. Screws are usually sold separately.
What is the main advantage of this hasp?
The main advantage is the integrated hole in the staple that allows for easy and secure locking with a padlock, offering enhanced security for your property or belongings.
Troubleshooting
Hasp does not close properly.
Ensure the hasp and staple are perfectly aligned. Check for any obstructions or debris. If the surface is uneven, it may require shimming.
Padlock does not fit through the staple.
Verify the padlock's shackle diameter. This hasp is designed for standard-sized padlock shackles. A padlock with a larger shackle will not fit.
Screws are loose or the hasp feels wobbly.
Tighten all mounting screws. If the holes have become enlarged, consider using slightly larger screws or inserting wood filler/anchors for a more secure fit.
Difficulty opening or closing the hasp due to stiffness.
Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., graphite powder or a light machine oil) to the pivot point of the hasp and around the staple loop.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Position the hasp and staple components on the surface where you intend to install them (e.g., gate and frame, shed door and wall).
- Mark the screw hole locations.
- Drill pilot holes if necessary, especially in harder materials.
- Secure both the hasp and the staple using appropriate screws (screws typically not included).
- Ensure the staple aligns correctly with the hasp when closed.

- Suitable for wood, metal, and plastic surfaces, provided appropriate fasteners are used.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed.
- For prolonged outdoor use, consider applying a rust-inhibiting lubricant periodically to the moving parts and the padlock hole to maintain smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
