Hardened Brass Shackle Padlock 40 mm, MEGA 24240

The MEGA 24240 hardened brass shackle padlock with a 40 mm shackle diameter is a compact padlock designed for general security of gates, lockers, cabinets and storage units. It features a brass body combined with a hardened shackle to provide corrosion resistance and mechanical durability suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The padlock's compact form and corrosion-resistant materials make it practical where a small but durable locking solution is required.

Advantages

The brass body offers natural resistance to corrosion while remaining lightweight. The hardened shackle improves cut and wear resistance compared with untreated shackles, extending the service life of the lock in outdoor or humid environments. The 40 mm shackle diameter provides a balance between compact size and secure closure for common fastening points, and the simple design makes the padlock easy to operate and maintain.

Suitable for

• Securing gates and garden sheds
• Locking lockers and cabinets in schools or workplaces
• Protecting storage units and toolboxes
• Indoor and outdoor applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant padlock is needed

Key specifications

• Body material: brass
• Shackle: hardened steel
• Shackle diameter: 40 mm
• Intended use: indoor and outdoor environments
• Design: compact padlock for general security applications

How to use

Insert the key into the lock cylinder, rotate to release the shackle, pass the shackle through the hasp or fastening point, and rotate the key in the opposite direction to lock and remove the key. For outdoor use, ensure the hasp and surrounding fittings are compatible with the shackle diameter and allow the shackle to close fully before removing the key. Keep spare keys in a secure location and avoid forcing the key if resistance is felt; inspect the lock periodically for debris or corrosion and operate the shackle a few times to maintain movement.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged outdoor exposure, lubricate the locking cylinder annually with a graphite-based lubricant and rinse the shackle with fresh water after exposure to salt spray. If higher resistance to cutting or tampering is required, consider using the padlock in combination with protective hasps or shroud covers.
