Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This padlock is ready to use straight out of the package. Simply insert one of the provided keys into the keyhole and turn to retract the shackle. Once the shackle is free, position the padlock as needed and close the shackle. Turn the key and remove it to lock the shackle in place. Ensure the shackle is fully engaged before removing the key for secure locking.
Compatibility: The Squire Stronglock Plus 45mm Padlock is designed to fit standard hasps and chains with adequate loop sizes for the 8mm shackle. Always check the dimensions of the hasp or locking point to ensure compatibility before purchase.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, regularly wipe the padlock with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Periodically apply a graphite-based lubricant (not oil-based) to the keyhole to ensure smooth key insertion and operation. Avoid exposing the lock to harsh chemicals. The weather-resistant casing provides protection, but avoiding prolonged submersion in water is recommended.
