Frequently asked questions
Common questions about RANGER LOCK from 3G Electric.
What materials are RANGER LOCK padlock guards made from?
RANGER LOCK padlock guards are constructed from steel, as indicated in the product specifications for models such as the RGRU-0L, RDDC-HP, RGEX-00, and others. The steel construction provides resistance to cutting, prying, and impact, making these guards suitable for industrial environments where physical security is a concern. The guards typically have a black finish, which adds a layer of corrosion protection.
What sizes are available for RANGER LOCK standard padlock guards?
RANGER LOCK standard padlock guards are available in a range of dimensions. For example, the RGEX-00 has a guard length of 4 inches and a width of 4 1/2 inches. The RGSE-00 measures 5 inches in length and 6 1/2 inches in width. The RGLB-00-USA has a guard length of 4 inches and a width of 3 1/2 inches. The RGCU-00 is smaller, with a guard length of 2 3/4 inches and a width of 2 1/4 inches. These sizes accommodate different padlock shackle sizes and application requirements.
Do RANGER LOCK padlock guards come with integrated locks?
Yes, RANGER LOCK offers padlock guards with integrated locks, such as the RGRU-0L, RDDC-HP, and RDSC-HP models. These guards include a lock mechanism built into the guard assembly, eliminating the need for a separate padlock. The RGRU-0L has a guard length of 10 inches, width of 3 1/2 inches, and height of 5 inches. The RDDC-HP has a guard length of 12 inches and width of 3 1/2 inches. The RDSC-HP has a guard length of 9 inches, width of 3 1/2 inches, and height of 9 inches. All are made of steel with a black finish.
What is the difference between standard and long shackle padlock guards from RANGER LOCK?
RANGER LOCK standard padlock guards are designed for use with standard-length padlock shackles, while long shackle padlock guards accommodate longer shackles, which are often used when the lock needs to reach through thicker hasps or multiple layers. The product line includes both types, with models like the RGEX-00 and RGSE-00 being standard guards, and others specifically labeled for long shackle applications. The guard dimensions vary to match the shackle length and diameter.
Can RANGER LOCK padlock guards be used outdoors?
RANGER LOCK padlock guards are made of steel with a black finish, which provides some corrosion resistance. However, the specific environmental ratings (e.g., IP ratings) are not listed in the available product data. For outdoor use, buyers should consider the guard's material and finish, and may need to apply additional protective coatings or select guards with enhanced weather resistance if required. The guards are primarily designed for physical security rather than environmental sealing.
What applications are RANGER LOCK van locks designed for?
RANGER LOCK van locks, such as the RGRU-00, are designed to secure vehicle compartments, including tool storage areas in service vans, utility trucks, and other commercial vehicles. These locks are typically used to prevent unauthorized access to equipment and tools stored in the vehicle. The van lock model RGRU-00 is part of the RANGER LOCK product line and is constructed from steel for durability.
