Product Information
Full details
The BlueSpot 40mm Double Locking Brass Padlock is an essential security solution for homeowners and professionals looking to protect outdoor equipment, gates, and storage units. Its primary benefit lies in the combination of a corrosion-resistant solid brass body and a hardened steel shackle that offers strong cut resistance. While highly durable for most weather conditions, users should note that as a standard keyed padlock, it requires careful management of the three included keys to avoid lockout situations.

FAQs
Is this padlock waterproof?
It is weather-resistant and designed for outdoor use, but like all mechanical padlocks, it should not be submerged in water.
Can I get a replacement if I lose all my keys?
Because this is a standard security padlock, there is no master code provided. It is recommended to keep one of the three keys in a safe, separate location.
What is the material of the shackle?
The shackle is made of hardened steel to provide higher cut resistance than standard steel shackles.
Can this be used for lockers?
Yes, the 40mm size is standard for most gym and school lockers, provided the locker latch can accommodate the shackle diameter.
Does it have a double locking mechanism?
Yes, it features a double locking mechanism for increased security against prying.
Troubleshooting
The key is stiff or difficult to turn
Apply a small amount of graphite powder or silicone lubricant into the keyway and insert the key repeatedly to distribute the lubricant.
The shackle will not lock into the body
Check that the key is in the correct position and that no debris is obstructing the locking holes in the padlock body.
Surface discoloration (oxidation)
This is a normal characteristic of brass. You can buff the surface with a metal polishing cloth to restore its original luster.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use, simply insert the key into the cylinder and turn it to release the shackle. Once the shackle is looped through your chosen latch, push the shackle back into the body until you hear a definitive click, indicating the double locking pins have engaged.
Compatibility: The 40mm size is a standard dimension compatible with most heavy-duty hasps, chains, and gate latches. Always ensure your latch hole is at least 7mm wide to accommodate the shackle diameter.
Care: To maintain peak performance, keep the internal mechanism clear of debris. In coastal or extremely harsh weather environments, applying a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the keyway once every six months will ensure the pins inside the cylinder remain smooth and responsive.
