Whether you need a standard padlock for everyday security, a long shackle padlock for additional clearance or a high shoulder padlock for increased shackle protection, Raptor offers practical locking solutions for a range of applications.

Security Padlocks for a Range of Applications

A padlock provides a simple and convenient way to secure an access point without requiring a permanently installed locking mechanism. The right padlock will depend on what you are securing, the available hasp or fitting, the required shackle clearance and the level of security needed.

Padlocks are commonly used to secure:

• Gates and fences
• Sheds and storage areas
• Tool and equipment storage
• Cabinets and containers
• Workshops and warehouses
• Commercial and industrial access points
• Chains and other suitable locking fittings

Long Shackle Padlocks

Long shackle padlocks provide additional clearance compared with a standard shackle, making them useful where a longer reach is required. They can be used with larger hasps, chains, handles and other locking points where a conventional padlock may not provide enough clearance.

Consider the shackle length and diameter when choosing a long shackle padlock to ensure it is suitable for the intended application.

High Shoulder Padlocks

High shoulder padlocks feature a lock body that extends further around the shackle, helping protect more of the shackle from access. This design can be useful for exposed locking applications where additional shackle protection is desirable.

Choosing the Right Padlock

When choosing a padlock, consider the environment, security requirements and hardware you need to secure. Important factors include:

• Shackle length and diameter
• Lock body size
• Required clearance
• Type of hasp, chain or fitting
• Indoor or outdoor application
• Frequency of use
• Required level of security

For applications where additional shackle clearance is required, a long shackle padlock may be more suitable. Where increased shackle protection is important, consider a high shoulder padlock.
