3. Setup and Installation
The Model 400XL Puck-Lock is designed for use with swivel hasps on enclosed trailers. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Prepare the Hasp: Ensure the swivel hasp on your enclosed trailer door is clean and free of obstructions. The puck lock requires a hasp with appropriate dimensions to fit securely.
- Position the Lock: Place the XL Puck Lock over the hasp. Align the locking mechanism of the puck lock with the holes in the hasp. The large opening on the back of the puck lock is designed to accommodate the swivel hasp.
- Engage the Lock: Insert one of the provided keys into the lock cylinder. Turn the key to extend the locking pin. Press the locking mechanism firmly into the lock body until it clicks into place.
- Verify Security: Attempt to pull the lock off the hasp without the key. If installed correctly, the lock should be securely fastened, preventing the hasp from opening.

Note on Dimensions: Each puck lock has a shackle opening measuring 1 3/4" L x 1 3/4" W x 7/8" H, with a depth of 1 1/4". Ensure your trailer's hasp dimensions are compatible.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your Proven Industries Puck-Lock Set, especially in extreme weather conditions.
- Lubrication: Apply graphited fluid to the lock cylinders periodically. This helps to seal out moisture, prevent corrosion, and protect against freezing, which can impair the lock's mechanism.
- Cleaning: Keep the lock body and keyhole free from dirt, dust, and debris. Use a soft cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the aluminum finish.
- Key Care: Store keys in a safe place. Avoid bending or forcing keys, as this can damage both the key and the lock cylinder.
For additional maintenance information or specific product inquiries, please contact Proven Industries customer support.
