A week after installing and rust is coming out of the hinge pin gaps. It seems that because they are welded top and bottom that they collect and hold water. The hasp is powder coated, the pin seems not to be. A drain hole (like every padlock has) would fix this. As for now, I am attempting to keep the hinge filled with oil to prevent further rusting.
[Pragmasis Comment: I am sorry about this. It has never happened before, and the HS1 has been a popular product. It is not possible to make a heavy duty hinge like that with the inner pin coated as it has to be welded top and bottom to be secure against attack, and there is normally no issue at all with water getting in and causing rust problems. Drilling a hole for drainage would weaken the hinge (or be too small to not clog up) and I don’t know of any competing products that do anything like that in a heavy duty hasp.We will send you a replacement FoC if you can e-mail us to confirm who you are? In the meantime, perhaps some silicone lubricant/grease will help. Apologies again for the inconvenience.]

Cannot fault the quality of the product as stated in many reviews. But I am surprised nobody mentioned the price. Compared to other heavy duty H&S products it is a much more expensive (& other accessories are as well) . Hence the three stars.
[Pragmasis Comment: I'm glad you are pleased with the quality. I wonder if your comment about pricing relates to lower-grade products that are described by their sellers as "Heavy Duty". Our HS1 is CEN4 rated. Very few other hasps have this rating. The Abus 130 hasp, as one example, is commonly sold at around £70 inc VAT, which is much dearer than the HS1. Several other products have very inferior construction, such as a staple folded out of thin sheet and often poor/insufficient fixings. We designed the HS1 to be tougher and frankly better thought-out than all the competing products we could find anywhere near this price point.]

These come in at a hefty price but they are also a hefty bit of kit, and look the part. The latter point helps if the thieves are looking at a row of lockups and wondering which one to break into.

This is the best Hasp & Staple I have ever seen; it’s massive and gives real piece of mind. It’s so heavy and strong nothing is going to move it. I have just purchased a couple more of these and will be getting some more soon. I use them in conjunction with the Squire SS65CS Stronghold Padlock to secure heavyweight barn doors, both wooden and steel, just a great combination.

Very prompt delivery and very good communications. I highly recommend this company if you want quality products and service.

I constructed my own security shed and this was one of the easiest parts of the project. Dead simple to work into the design, and I just made sure to have solid material in the door frame and the door itself to securely attach the fittings (with no fittings in sight once locked up).
[Pragmasis Comment; Sounds like you did a great job and we were happy to provide some bits to help. Thanks.]

a good security product
and an excellent service provided

After a spate of garage burglaries in the area I fitted the garage with an HS1 & Squire padlock. While (thankfully) it has yet to be put to the test, the sheer size should deter most potential thieves. It doesn't have to be impregnable - just better than the next potential target.

Purchased and fitted to a garden shed; the product is very robust. Easy to understand fitting instructions and prompt delivery; overall pleased with the product and service.

I did quite a lot of research before finally deciding on the HS1 and my research proved correct. This is a high quality product and will deter intruders. They would have to destroy the shed door before this gave up. Excellent advice from the supplier and fast delivery.

Seriously hefty hasp and lock - more than ample to deter any shed burglar. Delivered promptly and well packaged.

Thoroughly recommended service and product.

nice personal service.

a superb product very well made and finished.
many thanks s.

I have had two visits within six months to my garage by nasty people.
The damage caused was huge i needed a new door frame and door after one visit. So i now have this HS1 and a big close shackle lock on the door. This should stop any further visits and keep them outside.

This is very secure and solid. I just fitted it to my new wooden 6x8 shed. I brought it in a package deal with the squire pad lock. I think just the size and look of it says "don't bother" to would be theives! Bery Happy

I recently purchased the HS1 Hasp and Staple, and also the Squire SS50CS padlock to much-enhance the security arrangements for a very recently purchased and installed top-range garden shed. The quality of the products are exceptional, as was also the very rapid delivery of the items. Installation was straightforward and the shed security is now very greatly enhanced. I am truly delighted.

Just fitted the Heavy Duty Hasp & Staple with the padlock on our shed door after someone had tried to break open the door (probably with the intention of stealing our bikes). The quality is excellent, heavy duty & hard -wearing. As I'm no DIY-er, I was concerned about installation, but the instructions were clear and straightforward. We managed to fit the hasp & staple in such a way that it would be hard to get a crowbar in again. Our shed feels much safer & secure now.

Just fitted the Heavy Duty Hasp and Staple, very easy to fit, excellent quality very pleased. Also purchased the SS50CS padlock also of high quality.
Progmasis communications were also excellent, over the phone and by e-mail.Will certainly recommend them.

Professional service - good communication on order and prompt delivery
Hasp and padlock suitably heavy duty and easily fitted

Bought this along with recommended padlock to secure new shed. This is one serious bit of kit! (unlike the ones sold in diy stores)
Worth the investment if it keeps the thieves out. Recommended product.

All you need to know is in their writeup, but suffice to say this is as beefy as a herd of cows. Hilarious to compare to my "wafer thin" previous £20 hasp & staple/padlock outfit. Now I need to sort my hinges out as per their guidance, as any thief of opportunity is going to look for an easier way in than trying to defeat this behemoth.

I have a man shed at last and needed some proper security. Both for visual deterrent and actual strength should some low life try their luck. I picked the HS1 hasp and staple. What a beast ! Very well built and finished and well thought out. Thorough instructions for those less experienced diy’ers. Swift delivery and updates.
This company deserves your orders.
I believe true value for money.
Well done and thank you Pragmasis.
I recommend to all. Alex H.

I am impressed with the product. It looks very secure and was easy to install. I am very happy with the price (cheaper than sold elsewhere). SFB informed me of the delivery date and tracking details. The good arrived on time and as advised. I would happily purchase from SFB and have already recommended the site and product to a friend.

probably the best piece of kit on the market. and the best service

I needed a high security hasp and shackle to secure my garage using my trusty Mul-T-Lock NE14 CS.
The HS1 was an obvious choice and, as an existing customer (16mm Protector chain) I bought with confidence. The HS1 was delivered quickly with excellent communications from David.
Detailed fitting instructions made installation a doddle and the whole package exudes strength and quality.
The HS1 completes my multi-layered security system (gsm alarm, huge wall anchor and chain) and affords greater peace of mind.
Thank you, David, for engineering such high-quality devices at an affordable price.
[ Pragmasis Comment: It's not just David :-) ]

Very heavy duty... I checked the offerings at the local DIY store and there was no comparison - this is considerably heavier and feels much more solid.

The real deal! Solid, high quality and easy to install. Very pleased.

I bought this along with Stronghold Padlock to bolster my shed security. This is a solid bit of kit and makes the old lock that came with the shed look flimsy. Easy to install so would recommend.

My shed had a very flimsy hasp and shackle on it and with expensive bikes inside I decided I needed to prevent any opportunist thief armed with a crowbar getting inside - the HS1, coupled with Pragmasis' door beef-up kit, is just the job for this. Both products' fitting kits came with HSS drill bits and very detailed instructions and were simple to install, so with a very secure shed inside and out, I am a very happy customer!

Ordered this along with the SS50CS padlock to secure my newly built shed that will house valuable power and gardening tools. The staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable and email communication covers every conceivable query I might have had and more, and I want to know everything! Thanks.

Had a shed built and bought this along with the Squire padlock (which annoyingly is now sold as a set £30 cheaper than what I paid. But that’s life!) and also some hinge beef up kits. Would highly recommend all products. Came with good instructions and everything you need, easy to fit, very well built and look really strong. Will definitely be back if I need anything in the future
