Oriv Shield 701 Heavy Duty Padlock 40mm — Solid Brass Body, Hardened Steel Shackle, 4 Vane Keys (KEBS Certified)

The Oriv Shield 701 40mm padlock is a solid-brass heavy-duty lock built for the way padlocks are actually used in Kenya — on a gate, a store door, a shop shutter or a container, out in the sun and the rain all year. Anyone shopping for a padlock in Kenya should look past the finish and check two things: what the body is made of, and whether the shackle is hardened. The Shield 701 answers both.

What makes this padlock different?

• Solid brass body — brass does not rust, so the lock still turns after a long rainy season, unlike plated steel padlocks that seize up
• Hardened steel shackle — resists cutting and bolt-croppers far better than mild steel
• Four vane keys supplied — enough for the gate, the caretaker and a spare, without cutting copies
• KEBS certified — it has passed Kenya Bureau of Standards testing, which is worth checking on any lock you buy

Where does a 40mm padlock fit best?

40mm is the everyday size — gates, grilles, store rooms, lockers, toolboxes and shop shutters. For a main gate or a container, step up to a larger body; for a cupboard or meter box, a smaller one will do. Keep the shackle lightly oiled once or twice a year and the lock will outlast the hasp it hangs on.
