AWTOOLS AW23998 padlock

AWTools Mars 60 mm padlock keyed with a tubular key is a compact, practical solution for everyday locking needs. The lock features a 60 mm round body designed to fit standard shackles and a tubular (barrel) key mechanism that concentrates security on the lock cylinder. It is suitable for use on gates, sheds, storage units, lockers and similar applications where moderate protection and convenient key access are required. The construction supports both outdoor and indoor installation when combined with appropriate weather protection.

Advantages

The tubular key cylinder provides reliable alignment and simple operation while reducing the likelihood of accidental key bending. The 60 mm body offers a balance between portability and resistance to casual tampering. Its compatibility with standard shackle sizes makes replacement and retrofitting straightforward. Materials and finish are chosen to withstand regular use, offering consistent performance for routine access control scenarios.

Suitable for

• Securing garden gates and outdoor fences
• Locking sheds and tool storage
• Protecting storage units and lockers
• Everyday applications that require keyed entry with moderate security

Key specifications

• Body diameter: 60 mm
• Locking mechanism: tubular (barrel) key cylinder
• Intended use: indoor and outdoor (with appropriate protection)
• Compatibility: fits standard shackle sizes
• Application level: moderate security for general-purpose protection

How to use

Insert the tubular key into the cylinder and turn gently to retract the locking pawls. Position the shackle through the hasp or fitting and release the key to engage the locking mechanism. To lock, close the shackle and confirm it is fully seated before removing the key. Keep spare keys in a safe place and avoid forcing the key if resistance is felt; gently wiggling while applying light turning pressure will help align pins in the cylinder.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged outdoor use, install the padlock in a sheltered position or apply a suitable weather-resistant lubricant periodically to the cylinder and shackle area. Store and duplicate keys responsibly; for higher security needs, combine this padlock with additional security measures such as reinforced fittings or an alarmed hasp.
