Lock maker Squire has launched a range of premium marine grade padlocks, manufactured from solid stainless steel and designed for extreme wet weather conditions.
Designed for use in high-security environments, the Stronghold® Solid Stainless Steel range of locks have been salt spray tested to 480 hours and meets the European corrosion resistance standard (EN 1670 – Grade 5), providing durability for a host of applications.
The company says the locks are ideal for marine, critical infrastructure, container units or anywhere that is exposed to the elements, the Stronghold® Stainless Steel range offers heavy-duty protection through their solid stainless steel bodies and shackles, which provide a highly weather resistant and rust-proof finish.
The locks build upon the security and durability of the standard Stronghold® range, with the addition of enhanced weather resistance. The ST75 lock offers superior security for securing containers in all weathers, while the ST65 or ST50 ranges provide a choice between closed, standard or open shackles in a 50mm or 65mm body.
An anti-drill cylinder provides additional security, protecting against tampering through lock drilling. For convenience, the Stronghold® Stainless Steel padlocks are available as ‘keyed alike’, meaning one key can operate multiple padlocks. This is a particularly useful feature for keyholders who may wish to specify multiple Stainless Steel padlocks in one facility.
John Squire, CEO of Squire, says:
“We are delighted to launch the Stronghold® Solid Stainless Steel padlocks, providing a highly durable, incredibly weatherproof solution for a variety of marine and extreme weather environments.
“At Squire, we are proud to provide the highest standards of quality and security to our customers. By adding these locks to our range, we are proving our commitment, testing to the highest levels of salt spray and European corrosion standards, and ensuring our customers have a selection of high-quality padlocks to choose from.”
With a host of features to bolster security, the company says the Stronghold® Stainless Steel locks also benefit from:
- A six-pin tumbler lock mechanism – double locking (ST50, ST65 only)
- A replaceable cylinder
- Over 260,000 key differs
