HASP Meaning and Definition

1. A hasp, often referred to as a lock hasp, is a device commonly used to secure doors, gates, cabinets, or other types of enclosures. It is typically made of metal or another sturdy material and consists of two parts: a hinged plate and a staple.

   The hinged plate, also called the hasp leaf, is a flat metal strip attached to the edge of a door or gate. It features a series of holes or slots along its length to allow for adjustability. The hinged plate is mounted on one side of the door, while the staple is attached to the adjacent side or the frame.

   When the door is closed or the gate is shut, the hasp leaf is folded over the staple, aligning the holes or slots on the plate with those on the staple. A padlock or another form of locking mechanism can then be passed through the aligned holes or slots to secure the hasp. This effectively prevents unauthorized access or tampering.

   Hasps come in various sizes and designs to accommodate different security needs. Some may have additional features, such as reinforced plates or hidden screws, to enhance their durability and resistance to tampering. They are commonly found in residential, commercial, or industrial settings, providing a simple and reliable means of securing doors, gates, and other enclosures.

2. • To fasten with a hasp.

   • A fastening; the clasp that passes over a staple to be fastened by a padlock.
