High Security Padlocks

High security padlocks are intended for general military use with high security hasps where a high degree of physical security is required as specified by Enclosure 5, paragraph 2.g.(2) of DoD Manual 5100.76.  High security padlocks are covered by military specification MIL-DTL-43607J, "Padlock, Key Operated, High Security, Shrouded Shackle".  The number of keys for a high security padlock are limited to one control key and two operating keys as specified in paragraph 3.6.3.4 of MIL-DTL-43607J.  Enclosure 4, paragraph 10.b of DoD Manual 5100.76 requires that the number of keys be held to an absolute minimum.

High security hasps must conform to military specification MIL-DTL-29181D, "Hasp, High Security, Shrouded, For High And Medium Security Padlock".  Visit our High Security Hasps page for more information on high security hasps.
