Stockist
Defend your commercial property and valuable assets with the Kasp 175 Series Armoured Shutter Lock. Precision-engineered for high-risk applications, this 80mm padlock combines a solid brass core with a heavy-duty steel jacket to offer superior resistance against brutal physical attacks and intelligent manipulation. Designed specifically for roller shutters, site gates, and shipping containers, it is the ultimate deterrent against theft and vandalism.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Defense
When securing high-value assets or commercial premises, a standard padlock often isn't enough to stop determined intruders. The Kasp 175 Armoured Shutter Lock is designed to fill the gap between standard security and high-end industrial protection. Its primary application—locking down roller shutters and shipping containers—demands a specific geometry. The "anvil" or "block" style shape leaves very little of the shackle exposed, making it notoriously difficult for bolt cutters or saws to find a purchase point. This physical design alone acts as a powerful visual deterrent, signalling to potential thieves that the entry point is hardened.
Sophisticated Anti-Pick Technology
Brute force isn't the only threat to your security; intelligent manipulation (lock picking) is a growing concern. The Kasp 175 addresses this with a sophisticated 5-pin cylinder mechanism. Unlike standard pins, this lock utilizes "mushroom pins." These pins are shaped to catch on the cylinder wall if they are not lifted perfectly by the correct key. This creates a "false set" sensation that confuses lock pickers and makes raking or bumping the lock significantly harder. Furthermore, the keyway is "paracentric," meaning it is cut with a zigzag profile that crosses the centre line. This restricts the room available for inserting picking tools or drills, adding another layer of frustration for attackers.
The "Armoured" Advantage
The term "armoured" refers to the smart composite construction of the lock body. Inside, a solid brass core ensures smooth, non-corrosive mechanical operation that won't seize up over time. However, brass is a relatively soft metal. To compensate, Kasp has encased this core in a heavy-duty steel jacket. This jacket absorbs the impact of hammer blows and protects the inner mechanism from crushing forces. Combined with a hardened steel shackle designed to resist cropping and hacksaws, and a double ball bearing mechanism that prevents the shackle from being pulled or pried out, the Kasp 175 offers a fortress-like level of security in a compact 80mm package.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of a "shutter lock" shape over a normal padlock?
What is the advantage of a "shutter lock" shape over a normal padlock?
A shutter lock (or straight shackle padlock) is designed to fit the locking loops of roller shutters and containers perfectly. Because the shackle is straight and the body is blocky, it leaves very little metal exposed for bolt cutters to grip, making it much harder to cut than a traditional curved-shackle padlock.
Can this lock be used outdoors?
Can this lock be used outdoors?
Yes. The lock features a brass internal body which is naturally resistant to rust, and the outer steel jacket provides physical protection. However, like all steel security products used outdoors, we recommend occasional lubrication (using a graphite or silicone-based spray) to keep the mechanism smooth and preventing surface rust on the jacket
What are "mushroom pins"?
What are "mushroom pins"?
Mushroom pins are a type of security pin used inside the lock cylinder. They look like a mushroom (a spool shape). When a thief tries to pick the lock, the lip of the "mushroom" catches on the inside of the cylinder, jamming the lock and making it very difficult to open without the correct key.
