Product Information

Full details

This Kasp 120 series padlock, model K12040L55D, is designed for general-purpose security needs, offering a balance of affordability and quality. It's ideal for homeowners, small businesses, and individuals needing to secure sheds, gates, storage units, or equipment. Its key benefit lies in its durable construction featuring a hardened steel shackle and solid brass body with a double bolted locking mechanism for enhanced security. A potential caveat for some users might be that its 40mm width and 6mm shackle diameter are suited for general applications, not high-security environments requiring specialized locks.

FAQs

What type of key system does this padlock use?

This padlock uses a standard key cylinder. It typically comes with two keys. Replacement keys should be ordered from the manufacturer or a specialized locksmith service, referencing the model number.

Is this padlock suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the solid brass body offers good resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor applications. However, regular maintenance and lubrication are recommended for extended outdoor use.

What are the exact dimensions of the padlock?

The padlock has a body width of 40mm. The shackle diameter is 6mm, and the overall dimensions are approximately 40mm x 55mm (width x height of the body).

Can this padlock be re-keyed?

The Kasp 120 series padlocks are generally not designed for easy re-keying by the end-user. For re-keying services, consult a professional locksmith.

What is the difference between this and a high-security padlock?

This is a general-purpose padlock. High-security padlocks typically feature more robust materials, advanced anti-pick and anti-drill mechanisms, and often a hardened steel casing, designed for much higher levels of resistance against various forms of attack.

How many keys are included?

Typically, this model comes with two keys. Please check the product packaging or description for exact contents.

Troubleshooting

Padlock is difficult to lock or unlock.

Ensure the shackle is fully aligned before attempting to lock. If stiff, try lubricating the keyhole with a graphite-based lubricant. Check for any debris obstructing the mechanism.

Key will not turn in the lock.

Make sure the padlock is in a fully open or closed state; the key usually won't turn if the shackle is partially engaged. Try wiggling the key gently. Ensure you are using the correct key and that it is fully inserted.

Padlock is stuck open or closed.

Check for obstructions. If the shackle is not fully closing, the locking mechanism may not be fully disengaged. If stuck closed, lubrication may be required. Contact customer support if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This padlock is designed for immediate use. Simply insert your key, turn to unlock, open the shackle, place it through the locking mechanism (e.g., gate eyelet, hasp), and close the shackle. Turn the key to lock and remove it. The padlock comes with keys for operation.

Compatibility: The Kasp K12040L55D is compatible with any hasp, chain, or locking point that accommodates its 40mm width and 6mm shackle diameter. Ensure the intended locking point is robust enough to be secured effectively.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Keep Dry: Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or corrosive environments.
  2. Lubricate Periodically: Use a graphite-based lubricant or a light oil on the keyhole and locking mechanism annually, or more frequently if used outdoors in harsh conditions. Insert the key and work it in and out a few times.
  3. Clean Exterior: Wipe the brass body with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
