AWTOOLS AW23994 padlock

AWTools 80 mm padlock (model AW23994) is a medium-sized mechanical padlock with an 80 mm solid body designed for general-purpose security. The padlock features a conventional key-operated cylinder and a hardened shackle to provide reliable locking for gates, storage units, lockers and outdoor enclosures where a compact but sturdy lock is required. The design emphasizes straightforward operation and controlled access through supplied keys.

Advantages

The padlock offers a balance of size and strength suitable for many everyday security tasks. Its 80 mm body provides a larger gripping surface compared with small locks while remaining compact enough for confined mounting positions. The hardened shackle and metal body construction increase resistance to cutting and physical abuse under normal use. Key operation ensures simple controlled access without requiring batteries or electronics.

Suitable for

• Security of gates and garden entrances
• Sheds, garages and outdoor storage boxes
• Lockers and cabinets in workshops or warehouses
• Temporary job site storage and toolboxes

Key specifications

• Body width: 80 mm
• Material: metal body with hardened shackle
• Locking mechanism: key-operated cylinder
• Intended use: indoor and outdoor general-purpose security
• Access method: supplied keys for controlled entry

How to use

Insert the supplied key into the cylinder and turn to retract the locking bolt, then fit the shackle into the locking position and turn the key back to secure the padlock. To open, insert the key and turn it in the opposite direction until the shackle releases. Mount the padlock on a compatible hasp or staple with sufficient clearance to allow the shackle to engage fully. Periodic light lubrication of the cylinder and shackle pivot points will help maintain smooth operation.

Usage recommendations

For outdoor installations, choose a compatible hasp or mounting plate that minimizes water ingress around the lock. Regularly inspect the shackle and body for signs of corrosion or damage and lubricate the cylinder annually or when stiffness is noticed. Do not apply excessive force to the shackle or cylinder; if the key becomes difficult to turn, stop and check for debris or seek a professional locksmith to avoid key breakage.
