Abstract
A hasp-type includes a hasp member with a base having a latch leaf is pivotally mounted thereon and has an aperture adjacent its free end. The staple member has a base with a top wall and a depending sidewall defining a cavity thereunder, and the top wall has an opening therethrough. A post member has a pedestal portion which extends through the opening into the cavity of the staple base, and a post portion which extends upwardly through the aperture in the arm in its closed position. The post member has an enlarged portion about its periphery and is rotatable to locate its elongate axis so that it overlies a portion of the latch leaf in the closed position and prevents its being pivoted upwardly. The post member includes a manipulatable releasable latch element engageable with the staple member in its latching position, and a combination lock on the post member precludes disengagement of the latch element when it is locked.
