Padlocks
Padlocks are one of the most common methods of securing items, from luggage to school lockers all the way to garden sheds. Although they have existed for millennia, dating back to the Roman Era (500 BC-300 AD), they've been updated since. At Building Materials, you can find any type of padlock, whether it be the good old classic brass, sturdy weatherproof, misplacement-proof combination or the practical keyed alike which allows you to conveniently use one key for multiple padlocks.
Hasp & Staples
However, padlocks are aren't often used on their own, but in combination with a hasp and staple — a cover with a hinged metallic strap and a metallic hoop. The strap (hasp) will fit over the hoop (staple) and then be fastened with your trusted padlock. The hasp and staple will be screwed onto the surface you wish to lock — for example, a door — and then be fully functional.
Similarly to padlocks, there are many styles of hasp and staples, mostly differing in their aesthetic quality, material, thickness and purpose of use, rather than functionality. Whichever type you're after, our collection of hasps and staples, as well as padlocks to fit them, will give you just what you need.
