Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is a hasp and staple?
  A hasp and staple is a two-part door fastening. The hasp is a hinged plate or bent wire that swings open. The staple is a fixed steel loop. When the door is shut, the hasp fits over the staple, and a padlock locks them together.

• 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 face. When the door closes, the hasp swings over the staple, ready for a padlock.

• What size padlock shackle fits a wire hasp and staple?
  Wire hasp and staple sets typically accept padlocks with a shackle diameter of around 5mm. Check the aperture size of the staple ring before choosing a padlock to confirm compatibility.

• Are hasp and staple sets medium or heavy duty security?
  Wire hasp and staple sets are considered medium to light security. They deter casual access to sheds, gates, and storage. For higher security needs, a hardened steel or sold-secure-rated hasp would be more appropriate.

• Can a hasp and staple be cut with bolt cutters?
  Wire hasp and staple sets offer light to medium security and can be vulnerable to bolt cutters. For higher-risk applications, a hardened steel hasp with a closed-shackle padlock provides greater resistance to cutting and forced entry.
