Yuma YM1032B Yellow Plated Ductile Iron Padlock 32 mm

Yuma YM1032B Yellow Coated Ductile Iron Padlock (32 mm)

The Yuma YM1032B Yellow Coated Ductile Iron Padlock (32 mm) is a medium-small and economical padlock designed for daily and general security needs. With a body width of 32 mm, it is ideal for standard lockers, toolboxes, and light door locking. The standout feature of this model is its ductile iron material, which offers higher impact resistance compared to standard cast iron locks, and its yellow coating provides both aesthetics and corrosion protection.

Product Features and Material Details

The YM1032B model combines affordability, basic security, and relatively advanced casting material:

Size: 32 mm (Body width). This is a standard and common size for general-purpose and daily use.

Body Material: Ductile Iron (Nodular Cast Iron).

Feature: Ductile iron has better mechanical properties and higher impact resistance compared to standard gray cast iron. This helps the lock resist attempts of breaking and forcing (albeit to a limited extent).

Coating: Yellow Coating. Offers a bright or semi-bright tone similar to brass. This coating enhances the aesthetic of the lock and protects the cast material against moisture and light corrosion effects.

Shackle Material: Typically hardened steel/steel coating.

Security: The hardened shackle increases resistance to basic cutting attempts, but due to the lock size and price segment, a high level of security should not be expected.

Lock Mechanism: Basic pin/lever mechanism.

Function: Provides a simple and reliable locking function with a key.

Areas of Use and Applications

The Yuma YM1032B is used in low-risk areas requiring daily locking, especially in applications where slightly more durability and aesthetics are desired:

Individual and Communal Areas:

Lockers: Personal item lockers in gyms, schools, factories, or offices. Ductile iron may be preferred in these areas as it is more durable than standard cast iron.

Toolboxes: Medium-sized tool and equipment boxes.

Light Outdoor Use: Garden sheds, fence gates, water meter panels, etc., in low-risk areas lightly exposed to external factors, where the yellow coating ensures a longer lifespan.

Chaining: For short-term, low-risk locking of bicycles.
