Just finished building a shed for storage of fireworks and I need a steel "hood" or "shroud" to cover the hasp and padlock assembly to prevent levering or sawing of the lock or hasps. Any idea on where I might be able to pick-up such a thing would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joe.

What about the locks where the shackle is only exposed enough to fit?
Won't stop anyone from grabbing the lock and twisting the whole thing off, if they want in and have the time and tools, they're getting in, but might stop someone walking by with a hacksaw.

It's not truly needed for security purposes; just to satisfy ATF regs regarding storage of explosives. They state that the whole "...hasp and lock must be covered by a hood constructed of steel not less than 1/4" thick". From pictures I've seen, it basically looks like a metal box with an open bottom that covers the whole lock but allows access from the bottom to open the lock.

The only one that comes to mind that will meet or exceed what you're looking for is one made by American Lock Co.
A google search will take you to their web site. search for the hasp #800 in combination with the padlock series 2000. These are by no means a cheap venture, but I'm sure it will more than keep the ATF people happy.
Otherwise, the only other application I've seen that sounds like what you're describing is found on those steel job boxes that contractors use so they can safely leave tools locked up on a job site.
It just might be easier to find a local steel fabrication shop and ask them to make one for you to your measurements instead.
Hope this helps

I agree with WGW on American Locks. What I would use, is their round hasp. It covers the sides of their round padlock. The shackle is hidden underneath the locks body. It would definately keep hacksaws from attacking your lock. As far as mounting, I suggest Carraige bolts, and through-bolt it to the door. The heads of the bolts will be covered by the locks body also. You may have seen these before on some work trucks and vans. Hope this helps.
