Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Should the staple go on the door or the door frame?
  The staple should be fixed to the door frame. The hasp attaches to the door itself - it folds over and slots onto the staple, which is then secured with a padlock. On a pair of double doors, one door takes the hasp, and the other takes the staple.

• What is the difference between a hasp and a staple?
  The hasp is the hinged metal plate that attaches to the door. It has a slot that folds over the staple. The staple is a fixed metal loop mounted to the door frame. Together, they form a locking point for a padlock.

• What padlock do I need for a hasp and staple?
  The padlock shackle must fit through the staple loop. Check the staple aperture diameter and match it to a padlock with a shackle that passes through cleanly. A closed shackle padlock is often recommended outdoors, as it leaves less exposed metal for bolt cutters.

• Can a hasp and staple be used on an outdoor gate?
  Yes. Hasps and staples are a common choice for outdoor timber gates. For outdoor use, choose a set with a corrosion-resistant finish - such as powder coating or galvanising - to prevent rust from weathering.

• How do I stop a hasp and staple from being forced off a door?
  Use bolts going through the wood rather than screws alone. Screws can be levered out more easily. Fitting through-bolts with nuts on the inside of the door makes the set much harder to force.
