hasp
Holds a padlock
A hasp is a hinged metal clasp that fits over a staple and is secured by a pin or padlock—the kind of fastening you see on gates, chests, and shed doors.
The two parts work together: the hasp swings over and the padlock or pin holds it in place.
She threaded the padlock through the hasp and clicked it shut.
