Shackle-type padlock MEGA 24450 features a cast iron body and a 50 mm shackle diameter.

The cast iron body provides structural durability while the standard keyed cylinder enables straightforward locking and unlocking. The lock is intended for indoor and outdoor use where a medium-sized shackle is needed.

Advantages

A 50 mm shackle diameter provides ample clearance for attaching to hasps, chains and staple fittings used on gates and storage doors. The mechanical keyed operation ensures simple maintenance and long-term reliability without batteries or electronic components. The design balances robustness and usability for typical domestic and light commercial applications.

How to use

Insert the key into the cylinder and turn to retract the locking mechanism, allowing the shackle to open. Place the shackle through the hasp, chain or fixture, then push the shackle into the lock body until it engages. Remove the key and test the shackle to confirm it is fully locked. For unlocking, insert the key and turn in the opposite direction to release the shackle. Keep spare keys in a secure location separate from the locked item.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged outdoor use, inspect the lock periodically for corrosion or debris and apply a light graphite or silicone-based lubricant to the cylinder and shackle pivot points as needed. Avoid corrosive chemicals and do not force the key if resistance is felt; check alignment of fittings and ensure the locking surfaces are clean.
