1-14. Hinge Hasps

Hinge hasps are like hinges, except for the leaves (Figure 1-57). One leaf has screw holes for fastening the hasp in place. The other leaf is longer with a slot cut near the outer end. A metal loop, riveted to a square metal base, is used with the hinge hasp. The base of the loop is fastened in place with four screws. The slot in the long leaf of the hasp fits over the loop. A hinge hasp is used with a padlock as a locking device. The long leaf of the safety hasp covers the heads of all screws when it is in the locked position.
