Product Information

Full details

The Kasp 124 Series 40mm Coloured Brass Padlock in Green is designed for general-purpose security, offering a robust and corrosion-resistant solution for securing gates, sheds, and storage units. Its key benefit is the combination of a solid brass construction for durability and a protective vinyl jacket that guards against corrosion and accidental damage to painted surfaces, making it suitable for electrical lock-off applications. A potential consideration is that it is sold as keyed alike, meaning multiple padlocks will open with the same key.

FAQs

What does 'keyed alike' mean?

Keyed alike means that multiple padlocks of the same type can be opened with the same key. This is convenient if you need to secure several items and want to carry only one key.

Is this padlock suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the solid brass body and brass shackle offer good resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor applications. The vinyl jacket further protects against the elements.

Can I buy these padlocks with different keys?

This specific model is often sold as keyed alike. For padlocks with unique keys, you would typically look for different product codes or specifications that indicate 'keyed to differ'.

What is the size of the shackle?

The padlock itself is 40mm wide. The specific dimensions of the shackle (diameter and internal clearance) are not provided in detail but are designed for standard hasp use.

How do I maintain the padlock to ensure its longevity?

Keep the lock clean by wiping it down periodically. If it becomes stiff, use a graphite or silicone-based lubricant in the keyway. Avoid using oil-based lubricants.

Can this padlock be used for high-security applications?

The Kasp 124 Series is designed for general-purpose security. For higher security needs, consider padlocks with hardened steel shackles, boron components, or higher security ratings.

What does the green vinyl jacket do?

The green vinyl jacket protects the lock's metal body and shackle from scratches and corrosion. It also allows the padlock to be used for electrical lock-off applications by preventing accidental current transfer.

Troubleshooting

Padlock will not lock

Ensure the shackle is fully closed and aligned. Remove any debris that might be obstructing the locking mechanism.

Key will not turn or is difficult to insert

Check for obstructions within the keyway. The lock may require cleaning or lubrication. Ensure you are using the correct key, especially if you have multiple locks.

Shackle is difficult to open

The lock may be exposed to the elements. Clean the shackle and keyway, then apply a suitable lubricant (graphite or silicone-based).

Vinyl jacket is torn or damaged

While cosmetic, a damaged jacket can expose the metal to corrosion. For electrical lock-off applications, a damaged jacket may compromise its suitability. Consider replacing the padlock if integrity is a concern.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable solid brass construction for longevity.
  • Vinyl jacket offers corrosion and scratch protection.
  • Suitable for electrical lock-off applications.
  • Double-bolted mechanism increases security against attacks.
  • Brass shackle is anti-spark and corrosion-resistant.
  • Keyed alike functionality enhances convenience for multiple locks.

Cons

  • Primary focus is on general security, not high-security applications.
  • Vinyl jacket could potentially be damaged with extreme force.
  • Sold as keyed alike, which may not be ideal for applications requiring unique keys per lock.
  • Weight at 0.28880556322 pounds might be a consideration for very lightweight applications.
  • Corrosion resistance is good but may degrade in extremely harsh environments over extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This padlock requires no complex setup. Simply insert the key and turn to unlock the shackle. Close the shackle and press down firmly to lock.

Compatibility:

  • Hasp Compatibility: Ensure the padlock shackle fits through the eyelets of the hasp or locking loop you intend to use. The 40mm size is standard for many general-purpose hasps.
  • Electrical Lock-off: For electrical lock-off, it must be used in conjunction with a compatible lockout hasp that can securely encompass the switch or breaker.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Periodically wipe the padlock body and shackle with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
  • Lubrication: If the lock becomes stiff, a light application of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based spray can help maintain smooth operation. Insert the key and work it back and forth after application. Avoid oil-based lubricants which can attract dirt.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the padlock for any signs of damage or excessive wear. Ensure the vinyl jacket is intact.
