Ideal for securing sheds, gates, or toolboxes, its key benefit lies in its durable build and reliable key operation.

FAQs

What type of lock is this?

This is a laminated steel padlock with a brass cylinder, operated by a key.

What are the dimensions of the padlock?

The padlock measures 40mm in width and 23mm in body depth.

How many keys are included?

Each padlock is supplied with two keys.

Can I get replacement keys made?

Yes, key blanks are available separately, allowing you to have duplicate keys made.

What security level does this padlock offer?

This padlock has a Draper Security Rating of 3, indicating a moderate level of security suitable for general-purpose use.

Is this padlock suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the zinc-plated steel case offers some protection against the elements, but prolonged exposure to harsh weather may eventually cause wear. Periodic care is recommended.

What should I do if the lock feels stiff?

If the lock feels stiff, try lubricating the keyhole with a graphite-based dry lubricant. Avoid using oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust and debris.

Troubleshooting

Padlock will not open or close

Ensure the correct key is fully inserted. Check for any debris in the keyhole. Try applying a small amount of graphite lubricant to the key and cylinder.

Key is difficult to insert or turn

Verify you are using the correct key. Check the keyhole for obstructions. The cylinder may require lubrication; use a graphite-based lock lubricant sparingly.

Shackle does not engage properly when locking

Ensure the padlock is properly aligned with the hasp. Check that the shackle is fully retracted before attempting to close and lock. Ensure no pressure is being applied to the shackle when locking.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable laminated steel construction for longevity.
  • Reliable brass cylinder mechanism.
  • Compact size fits various applications.
  • Includes two keys for convenience.
  • Key blanks are available separately for duplication.

Cons

  • Security Rating 3 is suitable for low to medium security needs only.
  • May not be suitable for high-risk environments.
  • Key blanks need to be purchased separately.
  • Padlock body depth is limited, potentially restricting use with thicker hasps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This padlock is designed for immediate use. Simply insert a key into the cylinder and turn it to open the shackle. Close the shackle and turn the key to lock.

Compatibility:

The padlock is compatible with any hasp or locking point that can accommodate its shackle size and dimensions (40mm width, 23mm depth). Ensure the gap in the hasp is sufficient for the shackle to pass through.

Care:

  • Keep the keyhole free from debris. A puff of compressed air can be used if necessary.
  • Avoid exposing the lock to extreme conditions for prolonged periods. While the zinc plating offers protection, excessive moisture can lead to corrosion over time.
  • Periodically test the lock with its key to ensure the mechanism remains free-moving. If it feels stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant (dry lubricant) can be applied to the keyhole.
