Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the padlock, simply insert the key into the brass cylinder, rotate to open, and fasten the shackle through your desired latch or hasp. The lock is compatible with standard-sized security hasps found at most hardware retailers. To ensure the longevity of your padlock, avoid using force if the key meets resistance.

Keep the spare keys in a safe, accessible location separate from the primary key.
