Overview:

This 75mm hasp and staple from Blue Spot Tools is made from carbon steel with a black powder coat finish. The powder coat protects the metal against rust and corrosion in outdoor conditions. It comes supplied with all the necessary fittings for installation.

The set suits permanent outdoor use on wooden gates, fences, shed doors, and outbuilding entrances. A padlock slots through the staple loop once the hasp closes over it, securing the door.

• Attach the hasp: Fix the hasp plate to the door using the supplied screws.

• Fix the staple and lock: Attach the staple to the frame using the supplied fixings, then close the hasp over the loop and insert a padlock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Should the staple go on the door or the door frame?
  The staple should be fixed to the door frame, with the hasp attached to the door itself. On double doors, one door takes the hasp, and the other carries the staple.

• What fixings should I use when fitting a hasp and staple?
  Through-bolts or security screws are recommended over standard wood screws. Standard screws can act as a weak point, as they may be forced or levered out under pressure.

• Can hasp and staple locks be cut with bolt cutters?
  Standard hasp and staple sets offer medium to light-duty security. Bolt cutters can cut through lower-grade staples or padlock shackles. For improved security, use a hardened-shackle padlock alongside the set.

• What size padlock do I need for a hasp and staple?
  The padlock shackle must fit through the aperture of the staple loop. Check the staple aperture diameter before selecting a padlock, as this measurement determines which shackle sizes are compatible.

• Can a hasp and staple be used to secure double doors?
  Yes. One door carries the hasp, and the other carries the staple. When both doors close together, the hasp folds over the staple and a padlock locks both panels in place.
