Abstract
A shackle protective padlock mount for use with a conventional padlock having a shackle of inverted U-shape with oppositely located legs. The mount includes a pair of shackle receivers adapted for attachment to the structures which are to be locked together. The receivers have openings for receiving the shackle. The receivers are constrained from moving apart by integral tabs which extend laterally outwardly of the respective receivers. The tabs are adapted to engage the oppositely located shackle legs to prevent separation of the receivers and deny access to the shackle by cutting tools or the like. The receivers are adapted to accommodate different sizes of shackles.
