Squire combination padlock with a 2.5 inch long shackle, built to secure gates, containers, and other larger fixtures without relying on a physical key. The die cast alloy body and dual compound cover are designed to withstand outdoor use, while the fully recodable 4 wheel mechanism gives 10,000 possible combinations for personalised, keyless security. Backed by a 10 year guarantee.
How a long shackle and recodable mechanism suit gates and containers
Standard shackle padlocks often don't leave enough clearance to fit around a thick chain, hasp, or gate bracket, forcing a compromise on how the lock is actually fitted. A padlock that doesn't fit properly around the fixing point leaves a gap that can be exploited, or forces awkward fitting that wears the shackle over time. The extended 63mm shackle on this padlock gives the extra clearance needed for gates, containers, and thicker chains, while the fully recodable combination removes the need to manage physical keys across a site.
Key Features
-
63mm hardened steel long shackle: Provides extra clearance to fit around gates, thicker chains, and hasps that a standard shackle padlock cannot accommodate.
-
10,000 possible combinations: A 4 wheel mechanism gives a wide range of unique codes, fully recodable to a new combination at any time.
-
Double locking push button mechanism: Locks automatically on closing and opens with a push button once the correct combination is set, without needing a key.
-
Die cast alloy body with dual compound cover: Built to resist the elements for reliable use in outdoor and site conditions.
-
Squire Security Rating 4: Indicates a mid-range security level on Squire's own 1 to 10 rating scale, suited to general gate, shed, and container security.
-
10 year guarantee: Reflects the padlock's build quality and expected working life under normal use.

Who is this for
This padlock suits site managers, facilities teams, and depot supervisors securing gates, containers, sheds, and other larger fixtures where a standard shackle padlock doesn't provide enough clearance. It is intended for indoor and outdoor use wherever keyless, recodable access is preferred over managing physical keys across a site or team.
Typical applications
-
Securing site gates and compound entrances where a long shackle is needed to fit around gate brackets or chains.
-
Locking storage containers, shipping containers, and site cabins.
-
Securing sheds, outbuildings, and general outdoor storage at depots or facilities.
-
Providing keyless, recodable access for teams where managing multiple physical keys is impractical.
-
Locking larger tool boxes, cages, or equipment stores with a thicker hasp or chain.
How to use
Step 1: Set your chosen 4 digit combination using the recodable mechanism before first use, following the padlock's reset instructions.
Step 2: Align all 4 wheels to the correct combination to release the shackle.
Step 3: Fit the shackle around the gate, chain, hasp, or fixing point and press down to engage the double locking mechanism.
Step 4: Scramble the wheels away from the set combination once locked, to prevent the code being read at a glance.
Step 5: Recode the combination periodically or whenever site personnel change, to maintain controlled access.
Common mistakes
-
Leaving the wheels set to the correct combination after locking, making the code easy to read by anyone nearby.
-
Assuming Security Rating 4 is suitable for high value or insurance critical applications without checking the specific requirement first.
-
Fitting the padlock to a chain or hasp with a lower security rating than the padlock itself, weakening the overall security of the fixing point.
-
Forgetting to recode the combination after a team member with knowledge of the code leaves the site or project.
-
Forcing the shackle into a gap it does not have clearance for, rather than confirming the 63mm clearance fits the application first.
Safety
This padlock carries a Squire Security Rating of 4 out of 10, suited to general gate, container, and outdoor security rather than high value or insurance critical applications. Where a specific insurance or contractual security rating is required, confirm the padlock and any chain or hasp used with it both meet that rating before relying on it.
Maintenance
Wipe the body and shackle clean of dirt and grit periodically to keep the mechanism operating smoothly. Avoid forcing the combination wheels if they feel stiff, and check the shackle for corrosion or wear over time, particularly in exposed outdoor locations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many combinations does this padlock actually offer?
A: The padlock offers 10,000 possible combinations through its 4 wheel mechanism, and it is fully recodable, so the combination can be changed at any time without needing to replace the padlock. This makes it suited to sites or teams that want to update access periodically without managing physical keys.
Q: What does a Squire Security Rating of 4 actually mean?
A: Squire rates its padlocks on a 1 to 10 scale, with higher numbers indicating greater resistance to forced or manipulated entry. A rating of 4 sits in the mid range of Squire's own scale, suited to general gate, shed, container, and outdoor security rather than the highest value or highest risk applications, which typically call for a higher rated Squire product.
Q: What is this padlock NOT suitable for?
A: This padlock is not intended for high value or insurance critical applications requiring a top tier security rating, since its Squire Security Rating of 4 sits in the mid range of Squire's scale. It should not be paired with a chain or hasp rated lower than the padlock itself, since the weakest component in the fixing determines the overall security level.
Q: Why choose a long shackle version over the standard CP40?
A: A standard shackle padlock often does not provide enough clearance to fit around a gate bracket, thick chain, or hasp. The 63mm long shackle on this version gives the extra clearance needed for these larger fixing points, while sharing the same combination mechanism, body construction, and security rating as the standard CP40.
Q: Can I change the combination myself once it's in use?
A: Yes, the padlock is fully recodable, allowing the combination to be reset by the user rather than fixed at the factory. This is useful for sites or teams where access needs to be updated periodically, such as when personnel change or a project moves to a new phase.
Q: How long will this padlock last in outdoor conditions?
A: The die cast alloy body and dual compound cover are built to withstand outdoor exposure, and the padlock is backed by a 10 year guarantee reflecting its expected working life under normal use. Wiping the body and shackle clean periodically and checking for corrosion in exposed locations helps maintain performance over time.
