Long Shackle

Long Shackle Padlocks for Extra Clearance

Long shackle padlocks provide additional shackle length for applications where a standard padlock does not provide enough clearance. They are a practical solution for securing gates, chains, hasps, equipment and other access points where extra reach is required.

Raptor Industrial & Safety supplies long shackle padlocks for Australian trade, commercial, industrial and general security applications.

What Is a Long Shackle Padlock?

A long shackle padlock has a longer shackle than a standard padlock, providing greater clearance between the lock body and the point being secured.

The additional length can make it easier to pass the shackle through larger hasps, chains, handles or fixing points where a standard shackle may not reach.

Long Shackle Locks for Gates, Chains and Equipment

Long shackle padlocks are particularly useful where the locking points are spaced further apart or additional shackle clearance is needed.

Common applications include:

  • Gates and fences
  • Chains and cables
  • Sheds and storage areas
  • Tool and equipment storage
  • Cabinets and containers
  • Commercial and industrial access points
  • General security applications

The longer shackle provides flexibility when securing items with larger or less accessible locking points.

Choosing a Long Shackle Padlock

When choosing a long shackle padlock, consider the shackle length, shackle diameter and clearance required for your application. The shackle needs to pass through the hasp, chain or fitting while allowing the lock body to sit securely in position.

It is also important to consider the level of security required and the environment where the padlock will be used.
