Product Overview
The PACLOCK PL779 Series Right-Angle Hockey Puck Hasp is designed to provide robust security for various applications, including vans, gates, and sheds. This hasp is engineered to work seamlessly with shackleless "hockey-puck" style padlocks, offering enhanced protection against common defeat methods.

Setup and Installation
Proper installation of the PL779 hasp is crucial for maximizing its security features. Ensure you have appropriate mounting hardware (screws are included) and tools for your specific application surface.
Mounting the Hasp
- Positioning: Determine the optimal location for the hasp on your gate, shed, or van. The right-angle design allows for mounting on corners or edges.
- Marking Drill Points: Use the hasp as a template to mark the locations for the mounting bolts. The PL779 has multiple mounting points, including three standard carriage bolt points per side, plus additional protected points.
- Drilling Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes appropriate for your chosen mounting hardware and surface material.
- Secure Attachment: Fasten the hasp securely using the provided screws or other suitable hardware. Ensure all mounting points are utilized for maximum security.
- Optional Backplates: If using optional backplates (not included with this hasp only model), install them on the opposite side of the mounting surface for added reinforcement.

Puck-To-Hasp™ Mounting (for compatible PACLOCK padlocks)
For PACLOCK 7-Series and 9-Series padlocks, the PL779 has pre-drilled holes that align with tapped holes on the back of these padlocks. This allows the padlock to be mounted directly to the hasp.
- Align the padlock with the hasp's mounting points.
- Secure the padlock to the hasp using appropriate screws (typically provided with the padlock).
- Once mounted, the padlock remains attached to the hasp, simplifying operation and preventing the padlock from being misplaced.

Operation
The PL779 hasp functions as a secure mounting point for a shackleless "hockey-puck" style padlock. It does not contain a locking mechanism itself.
- To Secure: Close the gate, door, or container. Position the hockey-puck padlock so its shackle aligns with the opening on the hasp. Insert the padlock and engage its locking mechanism.
- To Unlock: Use the key for your hockey-puck padlock to disengage its locking mechanism. Once unlocked, the padlock can be removed from the hasp, allowing the secured item to be opened.
Maintenance
The PACLOCK PL779 hasp is designed for minimal maintenance due to its durable construction and advanced rust protection. However, periodic inspection and cleaning can prolong its lifespan and ensure optimal performance.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the hasp periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder coating.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the hasp for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Check the integrity of the mounting bolts and ensure they remain tight.
- Lubrication: While the hasp itself does not require lubrication, ensure that the padlock used with it is properly maintained according to its manufacturer's instructions, especially in harsh environments.
Troubleshooting
Most issues related to the PL779 hasp are typically associated with installation or the padlock used in conjunction with it.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Hasp feels loose after installation. | Mounting bolts are not sufficiently tightened or incorrect hardware used. | Ensure all mounting bolts are securely tightened. Use appropriate hardware for the mounting surface. Consider using optional backplates for added stability. |
| Padlock does not fit or engage properly. | Incompatible padlock type or obstruction. | Ensure you are using a standard "hockey-puck" style shackleless padlock. Check for any debris or foreign objects obstructing the hasp's opening. |
| Signs of rust or corrosion. | Surface damage exposing raw steel, or extreme environmental conditions. | While the hasp is double-coated for rust resistance, severe impacts can expose the underlying metal. Clean the area and apply a rust-inhibiting paint if necessary. |
