Product Information

Full details

The Squire LN5S Lion Marine Padlock is designed for individuals seeking robust security for outdoor and indoor applications, offering a key benefit of exceptional resistance to the elements and unauthorized access. A potential caveat is its specific security rating, which may be suited for moderate to high-security needs but not extreme environments. This premium 50mm solid brass padlock features a marine-grade stainless steel shackle, a 5-pin tumbler mechanism with 1,500 unique combinations, and a double locking mechanism for enhanced protection. It is ideal for securing boats, sheds, storage units, and home assets, with the added convenience of a keyed-alike option.

FAQs

What does 'marine grade' mean for the shackle?

Marine grade means the stainless steel shackle is specifically treated or alloyed to resist corrosion from salt water and harsh environmental conditions, making it ideal for use near the sea or on boats.

Can I order multiple locks that all open with the same key?

Yes, the Squire LN5S offers a 'keyed alike' option. You can specify this when purchasing to have multiple locks operate with a single key for convenience.

How many keys come with the padlock?

Each Squire LN5S Lion Marine Padlock typically comes with two keys.

What is the security rating of this padlock?

The Squire LN5S has a security rating of 4 (for the 50mm size). This indicates a good level of security suitable for many common applications.

Is this padlock suitable for extreme weather conditions?

Yes, the solid brass body and marine-grade stainless steel shackle are designed to withstand various weather conditions, including rain, humidity, and salt spray.

What is the difference between a pin tumbler and other lock mechanisms?

A pin tumbler mechanism uses a series of pins of varying lengths to prevent the lock from opening unless the correct key is inserted. The Squire LN5S has 5 pins, offering 1,500 unique combinations, which is a standard for good security.

How do I clean the padlock if it gets dirty?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior. For internal lubrication, use a graphite-based lock lubricant applied sparingly to the keyhole.

Troubleshooting

Padlock is difficult to lock or unlock.

Ensure the shackle is properly aligned before attempting to lock. If stiffness persists, clean the keyhole and shackle area, and apply a small amount of graphite lubricant into the keyhole. Avoid using oil-based lubricants.

Key will not turn in the lock.

Check that the correct key is being used and that it is fully inserted. Ensure the shackle is not under tension from being forced. Try jiggling the key gently while turning. If the issue continues, the lock mechanism may require professional attention.

Shackle is stuck open or closed.

Inspect the shackle and locking mechanism for any debris or obstructions. Gently try to clear any visible foreign matter. If the shackle is bent, it may need to be replaced. Ensure the locking mechanism is functioning freely before attempting to operate.

Corrosion visible on the padlock.

Wipe the padlock with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Apply a light coat of marine-grade wax or protective spray to the exterior to prevent future corrosion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to rust and corrosion due to marine-grade stainless steel and brass construction.
  • High number of unique key combinations (1,500) offers strong pick resistance.
  • Double locking mechanism provides increased security against prying and pulling.
  • Endorsed by CRIMESTOPPERS, offering a mark of proven security.
  • Keyed alike functionality is convenient for managing multiple locks.

Cons

  • Security Rating 4 may not be sufficient for extremely high-security applications.
  • 50mm size might be too large or small for certain specific locking points.
  • Only two keys are provided, additional keys may need to be purchased separately.
  • The open shackle design, while common, could be a point of vulnerability for specific attack methods compared to closed shackles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Squire LN5S is ready for immediate use. Simply insert one of the provided keys into the keyhole and turn to retract the shackle. To lock, close the shackle until it clicks, then turn the key to secure it. Ensure the shackle is fully engaged before locking.

Compatibility: This padlock is compatible with any hasp or locking point that can accommodate its shackle dimensions (Shackle Dia. 8.8mm, Shackle Clearance Size W x H: 28mm x 30mm). It is suitable for securing doors, gates, sheds, boats, storage units, lockers, and toolboxes.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, periodically clean the lock's exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For the internal mechanism, it is recommended to occasionally apply a graphite-based lubricant (not oil-based) to ensure smooth key operation. Do not submerge the lock in water. Store in a dry place when not in use for extended periods.
