Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Should the staple go on the door or the door frame?
  The staple attaches to the door frame, with the hasp fitted to the door itself. On a pair of double doors, one door takes the hasp, and the other holds the staple.

• What is a hasp and staple used for?
  A hasp and staple provides a security fastening for gates, shed doors, outbuilding entrances, and storage lids. A padlock passes through the staple loop to hold the hasp closed and prevent entry.

• What size padlock do I need for a hasp and staple?
  The padlock shackle must fit through the aperture of the staple. Always check the staple aperture diameter before buying a padlock to confirm the shackle diameter will pass through cleanly.

• Can a hasp and staple be cut with bolt cutters?
  Standard hasp and staple fittings provide light to medium-duty security. Bolt cutters can cut through them if the hardware grade is low. For higher-risk locations, pair the fitting with a security-rated padlock.

• Is zinc-plated steel suitable for outdoor use?
  Yes. Zinc plating creates a protective barrier over steel, slowing rust when exposed to moisture and outdoor conditions. It is a widely used finish for outdoor ironmongery and gate hardware.
