Screw Tight 4.5 Inch Chrome Plated Locking Hasp and Staple (S260301CP)

A hasp and staple is a device used to secure doors, windows and other items. A hasp and staple is not just one piece of metal, but rather it is made up of two parts: the hasp that goes over the staple, and the staple itself.

The hasp can be made from many different types of materials including wood, steel or plastic. The main purpose of a hasp is to keep whatever you are securing closed by allowing you to place a lock on it. You may also hear this term used in combination with padlocks, which are commonly used on these devices to keep them secure when you want to lock something up for security purposes.

A staple can be made from many different materials as well including steel or plastic. The purpose of using a staple instead of just using a single piece of metal is so that it can be easily removed if needed without causing any damage to whatever you are securing with your new hasp and staple combination.
 

A hasp is a simple device for securing a door, gate or other item. It consists of a looped metal strap hinged at one end and having an open loop at the other end with a staple on it.

The hasp is placed through the eyelet of the padlock and then closed by rotating the padlock over the staple. The locked hasp prevents access to whatever is secured by this method.
