Hasps & Staples

A hasp and staple lock might not be the flashiest security accessory, but it's one of the most versatile. Securing a shed, gate, container or workshop?

A hasp and staple is a simple metal fitting that creates a solid anchor point for your padlock.

Hasps come in different strengths and styles. For sheds and garden gates, a basic hasp does the job. For shipping containers or high-value storage, you'll want something like our Federal Hasp, with its black e-coated, hardened-steel body.

Why Outdoor Use Matters

If your hasp is exposed to weather, material choice becomes critical. Stainless steel hasps like the Abus 140/120 resist corrosion naturally. Others feature anti-corrosion finishes that resist rain and frost. The wrong hasp can rust and seize, leaving you locked out.

Pair your hasp with a weatherproof padlock for complete security. Consider adding a security chain or ground anchor for items that need extra protection.

Position your hasp so the staple sits flush when closed, and use proper fixings for your surface type. For containers without built-in lock boxes, our weld-on hasp kits provide professional-grade security.
