FAQs
Can this be used outdoors?
Yes, the galvanised finish provides protection against rust, making it suitable for outdoor use on hutches or sheds.
Are screws included?
Standard mounting hardware is typically included, but ensure they are appropriate for the specific thickness of your door or frame.
What size padlock fits this?
The staple is designed to fit most standard-sized household padlocks.
Can I paint this hardware?
While it can be painted, the galvanised surface is smooth, so you should use a metal primer first to ensure the paint adheres correctly.
Is this product secure against forced entry?
This product is intended for basic security and convenience. It is not designed to withstand high-force prying or heavy-duty burglary attempts.
Troubleshooting
Hasp does not align with the staple
Adjust the positioning of the plates by unscrewing slightly and shifting until the staple passes through the slot smoothly.
Screws are loose in the wood
Remove the screws, insert small wooden dowels or toothpicks with wood glue into the hole, let dry, and re-drill the pilot hole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires only a screwdriver or drill. Align the staple plate on the frame and the hasp on the door, ensuring the staple passes through the hasp slot perfectly. Mark your pilot holes, then secure the hardware using rust-resistant screws. For maintenance, simply wipe the hardware with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the mechanism becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the hinge pivot point. Ensure the wood surface is clean and level before mounting to prevent the hardware from twisting under tension.
