Padlock MODECO MN-02-340 cast iron shackle 40 mm

MODECO MN-02-340 cast iron shackle 40 mm is a general-purpose padlock designed for basic security and fastening tasks. It combines a solid cast iron body with a U-shaped shackle that has a 40 mm clearance, offering straightforward protection for gates, storage boxes, lockers and outdoor constructions where moderate resistance to tampering and unauthorized access is sufficient.

Advantages

The padlock’s cast iron body provides mechanical robustness for everyday use while remaining cost-effective. Its U-shaped shackle gives flexible mounting options on hasps and chains, and the 40 mm clearance accommodates a range of fittings. The simple locking mechanism is easy to operate and maintain, making the lock suitable for frequent use in residential and light-commercial settings.

Suitable for

• Gates and garden fences
• Storage boxes and tool chests
• Lockers, sheds and outdoor cabinets
• Temporary fastening of chains and hasps

Key specifications

• Body material: cast iron
• Shackle shape: U-shaped
• Shackle clearance/diameter: 40 mm
• Intended use: basic/moderate security applications
• Suitable environments: indoor and outdoor use (subject to weather exposure)

How to use

To use the padlock, insert the shackle through the hasp, chain link or anchor point, then press the shackle into the lock body until it clicks to engage. Turn the key (if supplied) to lock and remove it for secure storage. To unlock, insert the key and rotate to release the shackle. Regularly inspect the shackle and locking mechanism for dirt, corrosion or wear and clear any debris to maintain smooth operation.

Usage recommendations

For extended life in outdoor environments, periodically clean and apply a light lubricant to the shackle and keyway. Avoid exposing the lock to continuous immersion or highly corrosive conditions; where high security or severe weather resistance is required, consider a padlock with hardened steel shackle or a corrosion-resistant finish.
