Long Shackle or Short Shackle?
Blade (leaf) padlocks come in two shackle versions, and the choice decides where the lock works. A long shackle passes through gate staples, chains and wide hasps; a short shackle keeps the profile compact for cabinets, lockers and meter boxes, where a long shackle would snag or leave room for leverage.
Both versions share the same slim, tamper-resistant body and blade mechanism — harder to manipulate than a basic pin lock — in a painted or polished iron/steel finish. Each lock is supplied with three keys.
Where Blade Padlocks Are Used
The short-shackle version is the everyday lock for office drawers and cabinets, dormitory lockers, storage cabinets and electric meter boxes. The long-shackle version secures doors, gates and hasps where the locking point sits away from the surface, and the slim body suits luggage and cases.
- Cabinets & drawers — office cabinets, dormitory lockers, storage cabinets, meter boxes
- Doors & gates — room doors, gates and hasps that need a longer reach
- Luggage & cases — bags, cases and toolboxes where a bulky lock is awkward
- Retail security aisles — the step-up SKU above a basic iron padlock
Packing & Program Notes
Export carton is standard; blister-card packing is the usual retail format for this lock, since the slim body displays well on a hook. Boxed packing is available for institutional supply. MOQ is 10 cartons per SKU, with OEM packing and logo from 50+ cartons.
