Electro-Mechanical Locking System
Sterna padlocks provide maximum resistance against physical attack. The hardened, free-spinning protection plate prevents drill bits from penetrating the lock. Further security is provided by the hardened stainless ball bearings locking the shackle at both ends. The highest security can be provided by non-rekeyable construction. The unique rotating disc cylinder system employed in padlocks is effectively pick-proof and enables an extraordinarily wide range of comprehensive master keying options.
Extra-strong padlocks for applications where high security is required. Ideal for construction equipment, tractor trailers and remote storage areas, trucks, storage bins, roller-shutter doors and warehouses. The case-hardened steel body is highly resistant to all types of physical attack. "Grade 4", Equipped with hardened boron steel shackle, diameter 10 mm. For SCEC endorsed intruder resistant area applicatons this padlock must be fitted with an PROTEC or Disklock Pro cylinder.
