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. When the door closes, the hasp folds over the staple loop, ready for a padlock to be threaded through.

• What is a hasp and staple?
  A hasp and staple is a two-part fastening used to secure gates, shed doors, and storage lids. The hinged hasp mounts on the door; the looped staple sits on the frame. A padlock threads through the staple to hold the hasp in the closed position.

• How secure is a hasp and staple on a shed?
  Hasp and staple sets are considered medium to light-duty security. They deter casual entry on sheds and outbuildings. For added protection, pair the fitting with a quality closed-shackle padlock and use through-bolts rather than standard screws where possible.

• What size hasp and staple do I need?
  Size selection depends on the door or gate being secured and the padlock shackle diameter you plan to use. A 102mm hasp suits standard shed and garden gate applications. Always check the staple aperture diameter against your padlock shackle before fitting.

• What does zinc-plated mean on outdoor ironmongery?
  Zinc plating is a protective coating applied to steel hardware. It creates a barrier between the steel and moisture, slowing the onset of rust. On outdoor fittings like hasp and staple sets, it extends the working life of the product when exposed to rain and humidity.
