Egret 40mm Keyed Alike Brass Padlock
The Egret 40mm brass padlock provides a practical, cost-effective locking solution for lockers, cabinets, toolboxes and general storage. Its compact size makes it suitable for schools, workplaces, gyms, leisure centres and other facilities requiring reliable key-operated security.
Available in keyed-alike configurations, multiple padlocks can be operated using the same key. This can simplify key management for facilities managers, caretakers and organisations securing several lockers or storage points.
Egret 40mm Padlock Key Features
- 40 mm brass padlock body
- Key-operated locking mechanism
- Keyed-alike options available
- Suitable for lockers, cabinets and general storage
- Compact design for compatible hasps and locker fittings
- No batteries or combination codes required
- Suitable for individual orders and larger facility requirements
Brass Padlock Construction
The brass body provides a durable finish and resistance to everyday corrosion. This makes the Egret padlock suitable for indoor environments and selected sheltered locations where a traditional key-operated lock is preferred.
Brass padlocks can be used in changing rooms and leisure facilities, but suitability depends on the level of moisture, chemical exposure and maintenance. For continuously wet, outdoor or chemically treated environments, confirm the required corrosion resistance before ordering.
Keyed Alike Padlock Options
Keyed-alike padlocks are supplied so that each lock within the selected group operates with the same key. This is useful where authorised staff need access to several lockers, cupboards or storage areas without carrying a separate key for every padlock.
Keyed-alike systems are different from individually keyed padlocks, where each lock has its own key. Confirm the required key arrangement and quantity before placing an order.
| Keying option | How it works | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Keyed alike | Several padlocks operate using the same key | Facilities, shared storage and managed locker areas |
| Keyed to differ | Each padlock operates using its own individual key | Personal lockers and individually assigned storage |
Suitable Applications
| Application | Typical requirement |
|---|---|
| School and college lockers | Key-operated security for pupil or staff storage |
| Workplace lockers | Secure storage for clothing and personal belongings |
| Gym and leisure lockers | Simple padlock security for compatible locker fittings |
| Cabinets and cupboards | Controlled access to general stored items |
| Toolboxes and storage cases | Basic protection for tools and equipment |
Choosing the Correct Padlock
Before ordering, check that the shackle diameter, internal shackle clearance and body size are compatible with the locker, cabinet or hasp. A 40 mm body dimension does not confirm that the shackle will fit every application.
This padlock is intended for general low to medium-security applications. For exposed outdoor locations, high-value equipment or higher-security requirements, consider a weather-resistant or higher-security padlock.

Egret 40mm Padlock Dimensions
| Dimension | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Body width | 40 mm |
| Body thickness | 14 mm |
| Overall length | 62 mm |
| Shackle diameter | 6.2 mm |
| Internal shackle width | 20 mm |
| Internal shackle height | 24 mm |
Double-Locking Steel Shackle
The chrome-plated steel shackle uses a double-locking mechanism. Both sides of the shackle are secured when the padlock is locked, providing a firmer connection than a single-locking design.
The spring-loaded action helps the shackle open when the key is turned, making the padlock straightforward to operate during regular use.
Non-Key-Retaining Operation
The Egret padlock is non-key-retaining, allowing the key to be removed while the padlock is open. Each lock is supplied with three keys.
Store spare keys securely and record which keys are assigned to individual padlocks where the locks are being used across a school, workplace or managed facility.
Checking Padlock Compatibility
Before ordering, compare the shackle dimensions with the locker fitting, cabinet eyelet, chain, hasp or staple where the padlock will be used. The 40 mm body size alone does not confirm compatibility.
| Check | Egret measurement | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Fitting-hole diameter | Must accept a 6.2 mm shackle | The shackle must pass through the locker fitting, hasp or eyelet |
| Required internal width | 20 mm available | The fitting must sit within the internal shackle width |
| Required internal height | 24 mm available | Sufficient height is needed to close the shackle around the fitting |
| Available body clearance | 40 mm wide and 14 mm thick | The padlock body must not foul the door, frame or surrounding surface |
Typical Applications
The Egret 40mm brass padlock can be used in a variety of general security applications where its dimensions and security level are suitable.
- School, college and workplace lockers
- Gym and changing-room lockers
- Storage cabinets and cupboards

For exposed outdoor locations or higher-security applications, confirm that the construction, shackle dimensions and security level meet the site requirements before ordering.
