This lock is best when used with a special hasp. One of my favorites take the whole thing a little further, the padlock’s disc covers the shackle entirely. This makes the lock somewhat more secure.ĭisc padlocks work along this same principal as the shrouded locks they have a round shape that partially hides the shackle from cutters or other attacks. You can get a shrouded model that adds a shroud that extends above the lock body to make it harder for bolt cutters to reach the shackles. Sounds great but the problem with laminated locks is that you can cut the hasp in a few seconds with a good pair of bolt cutters and the locks are easy to drill.
#Lock and hasp crack#
If one-plate cracks, the others still contribute structural strength you have to crack many of the layers to break the lock.
This they can do, laminated locks are less prone to cracking under heavy prying or strikes because the force is distributed among the individual plates of steel and the rivets that hold them together.
You have probably seen their ad in which the padlock stands up to rifle fire. The most common standard padlock that we see has a laminated body. A thief will ignore the padlock and tear the hasp loose. An example of a cheap hasp with small screws. Don’t make it easy for the burglar to pry the hasp and lock off. Buy good steel hasps and mount them with good strong screws or bolts. I have seen hundred dollar padlocks on three-dollar hasps held in place by ½-inch screws. The first thing is if you have a warded padlock, see the picture of a warded key, throw the lock away, they are so easy to enter they are useless. The more work required and the more noise he has to make, the less he is likely to target you. Padlocks, actually all locks do two things they keep the honest, honest and make a burglar work for his money. Some are more burglar resistant than others. Now padlocks are good tools if you understand their limitations. If you have a bug out location or storage shed, chances are you are using a padlock and hasp to secure all or part of the location.
