Patent attributes
An enclosure for improving padlock security is provided. The enclosure includes a sleeve component that has openings at the left and right for receiving the padlock, cutouts at the top to access the shackle holes and a key slot at the bottom for accessing the padlock. A means for supporting the padlock within the sleeve component creates an empty space between the bottom of the padlock and the bottom of the sleeve component. The sleeve component containing the padlock is inserted into a tubular component. The tubular component has walls forming the tubular component, an opening at the bottom for receiving the sleeve component and padlock, one or more stoppers, capable of contacting the body of the padlock preventing further insertion of the padlock, while allowing the shackle to continue past, two directly opposing openings on the walls of the enclosure, and an opening at the top for accessing the shackle.
