OUTDOOR SECURITY & PADLOCKS
Squire STH3 hasp & staple is
SBD certified for outbuildings
» SECURITY SPECIALIST SQUIRE’S
STH3 hasp and staple is designed for extra
high security of domestic buildings. This
CEN grade 4 rated hasp and staple fits
13mm shackle padlocks and comes with
Secured by Design (SBD) and Sold Secure
certification.
It is ideal for securing external storage
facilities and sheds and is certified
to meet new SBD security standards
for outbuildings. Its hardened steel
construction with anti-corrosion finish
makes it particularly heavy duty and it
features a hardened steel staple for extra
resistance to attack.
Squire’s STH3 measures 231mm x
76mm, and for added security the nut and
bolt fixing is fully concealed.
It is one of a range of Stronghold® CEN
rated padbars and hasps and staples
designed to deliver an extra level of
security for commercial and industrial
use. They include Squire’s new toughest
ever STH100 padbar, which is purpose
designed for use only with the ultra-heavy
duty SS100CS padlock.
This heavy-duty, CEN grade 6 padbar
body is made from a special hardened
cast material which makes it ultra-strong
against cutting, and the hardened staple
rotates for extra resistance to attack.
Importantly, when used together with
Squire’s SS100CS padlock, these two very
high specification products achieve LPCB
(Loss Prevention Certification Board)* SR4
standard, giving confidence they deliver
protection against criminal intrusion and
terrorist attack.
Measuring 184 x 86mm (32mm high),
the STH100 is easy to fit and offers
superior protection above any normal
hasp and staple.

ABLOY DONATES PADLOCKS AFTER ANIMAL THEFTS
Abloy UK has donated 30 high spec, pick-proof padlocks to Brockswood
Animal Sanctuary in response to a spate of animal thefts.
» THE DUDLEY-BASED, NOT-FORprofit
sanctuary looks after 218 animals
and has been struggling financially amid
the lockdown, with the theft receiving
substantial attention locally.
Abloy’s PL330 is protected by a
hardened, free-spinning protection
plate that prevents drill bits from
penetrating the lock. The design also
includes stainless ball bearings that lock
the shackle at both ends, and a rotating
disc cylinder system which means it is
effectively pick-proof.
The Abloy PL330 also recently achieved
one of the highest possible ratings during
testing to simulate a criminal attack,
making it one of the most resilient and
dependable padlocks on the market.
The padlock achieved a 1+ rating from
the Loss Prevention Certification Board
(LPCB) against standard LPS 1654, which
tests the time taken to compromise a
padlock and gain access to the asset or
object it is securing.
A ‘1’ grade replicates an opportunist
attack by physical force or stealth, while the
‘+’ symbol indicates that the padlock’s key
mechanisms are resistant to manipulation
methods outlined in Annex A.6 of BS
3621:2007 and LPS 1242: Issue 2.
Steve Wintle, Head of Critical
Infrastructure at Abloy UK, said:
“Normally I work to secure critical
infrastructure sites, such as in the
telecoms or water sector. But when we saw
the news of thefts at the sanctuary, not far
from our head office in Willenhall, we felt
compelled to help out.
“The PL330 is an all-purpose padlock,
intentionally designed to meet a wide
range of security needs. It’s a stressful
time for everyone, so we hope that this
donation will at least bring some peace of
mind to Neil and the sanctuary staff.”
Neil Swann, of Brockswood Animal
Sanctuary, said: “We’re so thankful that
Abloy has managed to provide us with
these padlocks to help keep our animals
secure. It’s a level of security that no
animal sanctuary should need, but we are
relieved now that we have one less thing
to worry about.”
