Abstract
A protector for use with a conventional padlock having a lock body and a shackle of inverted U-shape characterized by a pair of legs shiftable inwardly of the lock body when the padlock is locked, and shiftable outwardly when the padlock is unlocked. With the shackle fitted to a conventional hasp staple, the protector can be placed in protective position over the staple and the unlocked shackle. Moving the protector in a predetermined direction locks the protector to the shackle legs so that the protector cannot be moved outwardly and removed. When the padlock is locked the lock body moves partially into the protector so that the protector cannot be moved oppositely of the predetermined direction for removal until the padlock is unlocked.
