Abstract
A high security hasp is provided including a ribbed hasp plate configured to be affixed to an entryway door. The ribbed hasp plate includes a multiplanar lock guard. The high security hasp may also include a hasp pocket member configured to be affixed to an enclosure wall proximate the entryway door. The hasp pocket member may include a base member comprising a hasp plate having a staple proximate the entryway door, and a chamber member that is permanently affixed to the base member, that has an end proximate the entryway door that is configured to provide a lock guard, and that may be filled with one or more of concrete, stone, metal, metal alloy, glass, sand, or polymeric material.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a hasp pocket member configured to be affixed to an enclosure wall proximate an entryway, wherein the hasp pocket member includes:
- a base member having a first end and a second end that is distal from the first end along a horizontal longitudinal axis, wherein the base member comprises a hasp plate having a staple proximate the first end, and
- a chamber member having a near end proximate the first end and a far end proximate the second end, wherein a first axis extending from the first end to the near end is approximately parallel to a second axis extending from the second end to the far end, wherein the chamber member is permanently affixed to the base member, wherein the chamber member is configured at the near end to provide a lock guard, and wherein the chamber member is filled with at least one of concrete, stone, metal, metal alloy, glass, sand, or polymeric material.
A high security hasp comprising:
- a ribbed hasp plate configured to be affixed to an entryway door, wherein the ribbed hasp plate includes a multiplanar lock guard and a hasp plate having a first end and a second end that is distal from the first end along a first axis, wherein the multiplanar lock guard comprises (i) a curved guard portion and (ii) a linear guard portion having an edge that extends from a first side, of the curved guard portion, that is distal from the hasp plate, to a point of the hasp plate proximate to the second end;
- and
- a hasp pocket member configured to be affixed to an enclosure wall proximate the entryway door.
A locking system comprising:
- a ribbed hasp plate configured to be affixed to an entryway door, wherein the ribbed hasp plate includes a multiplanar lock guard proximate a padlock, wherein the multiplanar lock guard comprises (i) a curved guard portion extending circumferentially along at least a portion of a perimeter of the padlock so as to partially surround the padlock and (ii) a linear guard portion extending from the curved guard portion in a direction away from the padlock;
- and
- a hasp pocket member configured to receive the padlock and to be affixed to an enclosure wall proximate the entryway door.
