Squire launches Stronghold® Half Euro padlock bodies Squire has introduced a new range of Stronghold® Half Euro body only padlocks that accept 45mm half euro cylinders, and they don’t need any extra modification. Designed to the highest specification, these cylinder operated padlock bodies are based on Squire’s ultra-high security Stronghold® range of CEN graded padlocks. They are available in two body widths of 55mm (CEN grade 4) and 65mm (CEN grade 5), with open shackle and long shackle options. Any manufacturer 45mm half euro cylinders can be used, but they require the same CEN grades as the padlocks to meet CEN standards. Padlock features also include solid hardened steel lock body, electrophoretic anti-corrosion finish and hardened boron alloy steel shackle. They offer anti-drill protection and are highly corrosion resistant with over 400-hours salt spray test, making them ideal for harsh environments. All padlocks come with Squire’s personal 10-year guarantee as standard. CEO John Squire said: “We’re proud to introduce these very high specification padlocks using our Stronghold® range of CEN grade locks. “Locksmiths can create their own suite of padlocks using half euro cylinders. But importantly, what makes them different is the padlocks need no extra modifications, so it’s a quick and easy process.” Designed to reflect Squire’s premium brand status for ‘toughness guaranteed,’ Stronghold® range of Half Euro padlocks is supported by the independent crime fighting charity Crimestoppers.
