FAQs

What is the difference between the 40mm padlock and other sizes in the Defender range?

The 40mm padlock has a body width of 40mm and is suitable for general use. Larger sizes (e.g., 50mm, 60mm) offer a wider body and often a longer shackle clearance, providing more versatile application options and potentially increased security due to their sturdier build.

Is this padlock suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the solid brass body construction is durable and resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor general use applications.

How many keys are included with each padlock?

Each padlock in the twin pack comes with two keys.

What kind of security does the double locking mechanism provide?

The double locking mechanism secures the shackle at both ends, providing increased resistance against pulling and prying attacks compared to single locking mechanisms.

Can I get these padlocks keyed alike?

Yes, Defender by Squire offers a keyed-alike option for their brass padlock range, allowing multiple locks to be opened with a single key for convenience.

What is the warranty period for this padlock?

All Defender by Squire products, including this padlock, are backed by a 5-year manufacturer guarantee.

Is this padlock pick-resistant?

The pin tumbler cylinder offers a standard level of security. While resistant to casual tampering, it may be susceptible to picking by experienced individuals. For higher security needs, consider locks with more advanced cylinder mechanisms.

Troubleshooting

Padlock will not lock or unlock.

Ensure the shackle is fully aligned before attempting to lock. Check for any debris or obstruction in the keyhole or shackle mechanism. Try lubricating the lock with a graphite lubricant. Ensure you are using the correct key.

Key is difficult to insert or turn.

The lock may require lubrication. Apply a graphite-based lubricant to the keyhole and gently work the key. Ensure the key is not bent or damaged. Check for any foreign objects inside the keyhole.

Shackle is stiff or slow to move.

The internal mechanism may be dry or contain debris. Apply a suitable lock lubricant to the shackle mechanism and the keyhole. Work the shackle back and forth to help distribute the lubricant.

Lost key.

Contact Defender by Squire customer support or a local locksmith. Due to security features, these locks are not typically designed for re-keying by the end-user. A new lock may be required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable solid brass construction for longevity.
  • Hardened steel shackle provides good resistance to physical attack.
  • Double locking mechanism increases security.
  • Suitable for a variety of general indoor and outdoor uses.
  • Comes in a twin pack for added value.
  • Backed by a 5-year manufacturer guarantee.

Cons

  • Best suited for general use; may not be sufficient for high-security needs.
  • Pin tumbler cylinders can be susceptible to picking by experienced individuals.
  • The 40mm size might be too small for larger hasps or chains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These padlocks require no complex setup. Simply insert one of the provided keys into the keyhole and turn to unlock the shackle. Once unlocked, open the shackle and place it through the hasp of the item you wish to secure. Close the shackle until it clicks, then turn the key to lock and remove it. Ensure the shackle is fully engaged before locking.

Compatibility:

The 40mm body size and hardened steel shackle are compatible with most standard hasps, chains, and locking points designed for padlocks. Ensure the opening on your hasp is large enough to accommodate the padlock's shackle. The Defender range also offers keyed-alike options for multiple locks using a single key.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the padlock with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which could damage the brass finish.
  • Lubrication: To maintain smooth operation, it is recommended to occasionally lubricate the pin tumbler cylinder. Use a graphite-based lubricant or a silicone-based spray designed for locks. Insert the lubricant into the keyhole and operate the key several times. Do not use oil-based lubricants like WD-40, as they can attract dust and debris.
  • Storage: Store keys in a safe and accessible place. If storing the padlock for extended periods, ensure it is in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
