ABSTRACT:
A shackle protector for use in protecting the shackle of a padlock which is utilized to lock a hasp or other structure has a first and a second plate which are spaced apart are connected together in a co-planar relationship by a first connecting wall and a portion of a further connecting wall. A first slot is located in the first plate and a second slot is located in the second plate with the first and second slots aligned with one another such that the eye of a hasp or other type hardware can be passed through the slots. The shackle protector is positioned over the eye of the hasp by inserting the eye of the hasp through at least one of the first or second slots. The shackle of a lock is then passed in between the plates of the shackle protector and through the eye of the hasp. The lock is then locked. With the shackle protector so positioned, the shackle of the lock is securely protected between the first and the second plates of the shackle protector and the shackle protector is maintained on the eye of the hasp by the padlock shackle.
