Abstract
An improved hasp for use with a hidden shackle pad lock. The hasp is manufactured of high strength steel and includes a tamper proof hinge with a domed pin. Further the shackle is mounted on high strength laminated steel mounting plates for additional security. The device includes a protective shroud for the hidden shackle lock with offset breaks in the shroud to prevent cutting the lock with a grinder. Further the configuration of the shackle allows use on openings that need to be secured, particularly those on boxes for public utilities (utility boxes).
