Padlock AWTools AW23997 — keyed padlock by AWTools, model AW23997

AWTools Mars 50 mm padlock is a mechanical security lock designed for medium-duty everyday use. The padlock features a compact rectangular body and a keyed tubular cylinder offering straightforward operation and moderate resistance to tampering. Its solid shackle and 50 mm lock body size make it suitable for securing gates, lockers, storage boxes, tool cabinets and similar items where a reliable mechanical padlock is required.

Advantages

The tubular keyed mechanism provides smooth key insertion and reliable alignment of the pins, reducing the likelihood of jamming. The compact 50 mm body balances portability with adequate internal space for a robust locking mechanism. A solid shackle construction improves resistance to cutting and levering compared with thinner shackles, while the simple mechanical design ensures easy maintenance and long service life under normal use conditions.

Suitable for

• Securing outdoor and indoor gates
• Locking lockers and cabinets in schools, gyms, and workplaces
• Protecting storage boxes and tool chests
• General-purpose locking for sheds and storage rooms

Key specifications

• Lock type: keyed tubular mechanical padlock
• Body size: 50 mm
• Shackle: solid shackle design for improved durability
• Operation: single-action key-operated cylinder
• Application: medium-duty security for domestic and light commercial use

How to use

Insert the tubular key into the cylinder and turn to retract the locking mechanism, open the shackle and place it through the hasp or eyelet on the item to be secured. Close the shackle into the body until it locks audibly, then remove the key. To lock, press the shackle into the body until it engages; verify the padlock is secured before leaving the protected area. Keep keys in a safe, accessible place and avoid forcing the key or shackle if resistance is encountered.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged service life, periodically clean the shackle and body, and apply a light lubricant to the cylinder mechanism. Use this padlock for medium-security needs; for high-risk applications, consider a lock with higher security ratings or advanced anti-cut and anti-pick features.
