FAQs
What material is this hasp and staple made from?
It is made from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, known for its excellent resistance to corrosion in marine and outdoor environments.
What is the maximum padlock shackle diameter that can be used?
The hole diameter is 8mm, which is ideal for padlocks with a shackle diameter of up to 6mm.
What are the dimensions of the hasp and staple?
When folded, the total length is 70mm. When unfolded, the total length is 92mm. Both the hasp and staple have 4mm mounting holes.
Can this be used on exterior boat hatches?
Yes, the marine-grade 316 stainless steel construction makes it highly suitable for exterior boat hatches and other marine applications due to its corrosion resistance.
Are mounting screws included?
No, mounting screws or bolts are not included with the hasp and staple.
Can the mounting holes be concealed?
Yes, the hasp can be used in a folded position, which helps to conceal the mounting holes of the hasp itself.
What is the primary advantage of the unfolded position?
The unfolded position provides an additional 22mm of length (total 92mm), which can be useful for aligning with different mounting surfaces or for applications requiring a longer reach.
Troubleshooting
Hasp and staple do not align properly.
Adjust the mounting position of either the hasp or staple. Consider using the unfolded position for greater reach or ensure the door/hatch is correctly seated.
Padlock does not fit through the hole.
Ensure the padlock shackle diameter does not exceed 6mm. The hole is precisely 8mm, designed for common smaller padlock shackles.
Corrosion or discoloration noticed over time.
Although made of 316 stainless steel, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or debris can affect appearance. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no corrosive substances are in constant contact.
Mounting holes seem too small for screws.
The product has 4mm mounting holes. Use screws or bolts with a diameter appropriate for these holes. Pre-drilling pilot holes is recommended for easier installation and to prevent material splitting.
