ABUS 100/100 Hasp and Staple

Overview of the ABUS 100/100 Hasp and Staple

The ABUS 100/100 Hasp and Staple is a high‑performance locking device designed for securing doors, gates, and other entry points. It combines a robust hasp (the metal plate that engages the latch) with a staple (the locking bar), forming an integrated system that delivers reliable protection against forced entry.

Key Design Features

1. Strong, Corrosion‑Resistant Construction

The device is fabricated from hardened steel and finished with a silver coating, which not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also provides excellent resistance to corrosion in harsh environments.

2. Integrated Carded Mechanism

Unlike simple padlock attachments, the 100/100 model incorporates a carded locking mechanism. This means that the staple is secured by a card (a small metal plate) that slides into place when the lock is engaged, preventing the staple from being pulled out even if the hasp is compromised.

3. 100mm Length – Optimal for Medium‑Sized Doors

The standard length of 100mm makes it ideal for medium to large doors where a longer locking bar is required to span the width of the latch or frame. The dimensions also allow for easy installation on most commercial and residential doors.

4. Key‑Operated Locking System

The device uses a conventional key cylinder, ensuring that only authorized users can lock or unlock the staple. This key system is compatible with standard ABUS keys, simplifying maintenance and replacement.

Installation Guidelines

Preparation

• Measure the distance between the door latch and the frame to confirm a 100mm staple will fit comfortably.
• Select a suitable mounting point on the door or gate that can support the weight of the hasp and staple.

Mounting the Hasp

1. Secure the hasp plate onto the chosen mounting point using appropriate screws or bolts, ensuring it is firmly attached.
2. Align the staple’s locking bar with the latch mechanism on the door.

Engaging the Staple

• Insert the key into the cylinder and turn to lock. The staple will slide into place, engaging the latch.
• The carded mechanism will automatically lock the staple in position, preventing any attempt to pull it out.

Security Performance

The ABUS 100/100 Hasp and Staple is rated for Security Level 4, which means it has been tested against a range of common attack methods such as bolt cutters, pry bars, and lock picking. The combination of a hardened steel staple, carded locking bar, and key cylinder provides a robust barrier that deters most unauthorized entry attempts.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspection: Check for signs of wear or corrosion on the hasp, staple, and key cylinder. Replace any damaged components promptly.
• Lubrication: Apply a light silicone-based lubricant to the key cylinder and moving parts to ensure smooth operation.
• Cleaning: Wipe down the device with a dry cloth after exposure to moisture or dust to prevent buildup that could affect performance.

Applications Across Industries

The versatility of the ABUS 100/100 Hasp and Staple makes it suitable for a wide range of settings:

• Commercial Buildings: Secure office doors, storage rooms, and utility panels.
• Industrial Facilities: Protect machinery enclosures, loading docks, and maintenance areas.
• Residential Use: Enhance the security of back doors, sheds, and garages.
• Public Infrastructure: Safeguard access points in schools, hospitals, and municipal buildings.
