Abstract
An example lock apparatus includes a shackle including an engagement portion, and a lock head operable to selectively engage the engagement portion to thereby retain the lock apparatus in a closed condition. The lock head includes a housing, a slider, and a detent mechanism. The slider is mounted for sliding movement relative to the housing between a first position and a second position. One of the first position or the second position is a closed position in which the slider prevents removal of the engagement portion from the lock head, and the other of the first position or the second position is an open position in which the slider permits removal of the engagement portion from the lock head. The detent mechanism is configured to selectively resist movement of the slider from the first position.
