Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the padlock has been tested in the unlocked position before securing it to your chosen application. The 22mm internal width of the shackle provides enough clearance for most heavy-duty hasps. Maintenance is minimal; however, to maintain optimal performance, avoid using heavy oils inside the cylinder, as these can attract dirt and grime. If the key starts to feel 'sticky' when turning, use a small amount of graphite powder. Always ensure the shackle is fully depressed into the body until the audible click of the double-bolting mechanism is heard before walking away.
