FAQs

What is the main purpose of this padbolt?

The AB Tools Padbolt is designed to provide an extra layer of security by allowing you to attach a padlock to doors, gates, or sheds, deterring unauthorized access.

Does it come with a padlock?

No, the padlock is not included. You will need to purchase a suitable padlock separately.

What size padlock can I use?

The padlock holder has a hole diameter of approximately 12mm, so the shackle of your padlock should fit through this opening.

What material is the padbolt made from?

It is made from mild steel with a high-quality powder-coated finish for durability and weather resistance.

How do I install it?

Installation involves marking and drilling pilot holes, then securing the padbolt with appropriate screws. Full instructions are provided in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section.

Can this be used outdoors?

Yes, the powder-coated finish makes it suitable for outdoor applications like gates and sheds, offering resistance to rust and corrosion.

What are the dimensions of the padbolt?

The padbolt is 100mm in length (though the product description mentions 128mm length for the overall item, the model number BLK142 typically refers to a 100mm bolt). It is approximately 45mm wide, with a padlock holder height of 30mm and width of 57mm.

Troubleshooting

Bolt is stiff to slide

Ensure there is no debris obstructing the sliding mechanism. Check that the padbolt is mounted flush and straight. Apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary.

Padlock does not fit

Verify the padlock shackle diameter is no more than 12mm. Ensure the padlock body does not interfere with the mounting surface.

Screws feel loose after installation

Use screws of appropriate length and thickness for the mounting surface. Ensure pilot holes are not too large. Re-tighten screws securely.
