FAQs

What material is the padlock made of?

The padlock body is constructed from solid brass, and the shackle is made of hardened steel.

How many keys are included with the padlock?

The padlock is supplied with three identical keys.

Is this padlock suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the solid brass construction offers excellent resistance to corrosion and weathering, making it suitable for outdoor applications.

What does 'double locking mechanism' mean?

It means the shackle is secured at two points, which enhances security by making it more difficult to pry or force open the padlock.

Can I get replacement keys if I lose them?

Replacement keys are not directly provided by the manufacturer for individual locks. You would need to contact a locksmith or key cutting service with one of the existing keys to get duplicates made.

What are the dimensions of the padlock?

The padlock is 50mm wide and features a hardened steel shackle for security.

Is this padlock suitable for high-security areas?

This padlock offers good general security due to its double locking mechanism and hardened shackle, but it is not designed for extremely high-security applications where specialized, high-security rated locks are required.

Troubleshooting

Padlock is stiff or difficult to lock/unlock

Ensure the shackle is properly aligned. Clean the keyhole and shackle area. Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the keyhole and work the key in and out a few times. Check for any debris obstructing the mechanism.

Key will not turn in the lock

Verify you are using the correct key. Ensure the shackle is fully disengaged. Try jiggling the key gently while applying slight turning pressure. If the padlock has been exposed to extreme conditions, allow it to return to room temperature.

Shackle is stuck open or closed

Do not force the shackle. Check for any physical obstructions. Try applying gentle pressure to the shackle while attempting to operate the lock with the key. If the issue persists, professional assistance may be required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent weather resistance due to solid brass construction.
  • Enhanced security with a double locking mechanism.
  • Durable and resistant to tampering with a hardened steel shackle.
  • Smooth and reliable operation thanks to the brass cylinder.
  • Comes with three keys for added convenience.

Cons

  • The 50mm size may not fit all applications with smaller hasps.
  • Primarily suited for general security needs; not intended for extremely high-security applications.
  • Brass can be susceptible to scratching over time with heavy use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This padlock requires no setup beyond inserting a key and turning it to lock or unlock the shackle. Ensure the shackle is fully clear of the locking mechanism before attempting to close.

Compatibility: The padlock is designed to fit standard hasps and loops commonly found on sheds, gates, lockers, toolboxes, and storage units. The shackle diameter and the dimensions of the padlock body should be considered for compatibility with specific locking points.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, periodically clean the exterior of the padlock with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. It is recommended to lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based lubricant or a light machine oil occasionally, especially if used in dusty or exposed environments, to ensure smooth key insertion and turning.
