Kyuionty 2Pcs Keyed Hasp Locks 2.5 Inch Twist Knob Keyed Locking Hasp, Metal Safety Hasp Latches Keyed Different for Small Doors, Cabinets

What it is and where it fits

I tested the Kyuionty 2.5-inch keyed hasp set as a compact, light-duty way to add keyed closure to small doors, cabinets, and toolboxes. Each pack includes two complete hasps, each with its own two keys, and the two locks are keyed differently by design. If you’re trying to secure a basement closet, a utility cabinet, or a drawer with a clean profile and no dangling padlock, this set lands in a practical sweet spot: small footprint, simple operation, and hidden mounting screws once locked.

It’s important to set expectations. This is not a high-security solution, and it’s not intended to replace a deadbolt or a full-sized padlock on an exterior gate. It’s a tidy, tamper-resisting latch that discourages casual access.

Build and design

The components are zinc alloy with a silver finish. The hasp plate measures about 65 x 32 mm (roughly 2.56 x 1.26 inches), and the lock body is about 35 x 30 x 30 mm. On the door or drawer face, the overall footprint is minimal, which is exactly what I wanted for a utility closet where a bulky padlock would snag clothing and tool bags.

The standout design detail is that the mounting screws for both the staple and the plate are concealed when the hasp is closed. Once you lock it, there are no exposed screw heads to back out, which meaningfully improves tamper resistance for this class of hardware. The cam action inside the lock engages smoothly; there’s a tactile click when it’s fully rotated.

Fit and finish are tidy for the price point. The castings are uniform, edges are clean, and the finish has held up against fingerprints and incidental scuffs in my testing. Zinc alloy is inherently corrosion resistant, so for indoor use or sheltered areas it should stay presentable. I wouldn’t pick it for marine environments or unsheltered coastal exteriors, but for basements, closets, and interior garage cabinets it’s well suited.

Installation experience

Installation is straightforward if you take a minute to align things properly. Here’s what worked for me:

• Dry fit the hasp and staple with the door closed so you can account for the door gap.
• Use painter’s tape to hold the parts in place while you mark hole centers.
• Pre-drill pilot holes sized for the included screws; this prevents splitting and keeps the screws tracking straight.
• If you’re mounting on a hollow-core door or thin cabinet panel, consider swapping the included screws for longer wood screws or through-bolts with washers to gain bite.

The included screws are serviceable for solid wood and MDF. On a lightweight closet door, I swapped in slightly longer screws to reach framing. Once mounted, the hasp swings cleanly and meets the lock body squarely. If you’re off by even a couple millimeters, the cam can bind on closing, so take the time to test the swing before tightening everything down. I also ran a dab of wax on the screw threads going into hardwood to minimize the chance of snapping a head.

Total install time per hasp was under 10 minutes with pilot holes and a small torpedo level to keep everything straight.

Everyday use

Operation is simple: swing the hasp closed, insert the key, and turn to lock; reverse to open. The action is light and predictable. I like that the cylinder doesn’t require much torque—helpful if this will be used by kids or in a workplace setting where you don’t want people wrestling with a sticky lock.

Each lock comes with two keys, and the two locks in the pack are keyed differently. That’s ideal if you’re securing two areas and want to limit cross-access. It’s less convenient if you hoped to run both hasps on one key. There’s no keyed-alike option in the box, and in my case, my local locksmith didn’t have a matching blank on hand to duplicate the keys. That’s not a dealbreaker for a cabinet lock, but it’s worth noting if you’re building a unified key system.

The keys themselves are thin, typical of cabinet-grade hardware. They’ve held up fine with gentle use, but I wouldn’t toss them on a heavy keychain with car keys and expect them to stay perfectly straight. I ended up keeping a spare taped to the inside of a utility panel (well hidden) for peace of mind.

Security and limitations

For a compact hasp, the hidden-screw design adds meaningful resistance against casual tampering. Once locked, there’s no exposed hardware to back out, and the hasp plate covers the fasteners fully. Still, we’re talking about light-duty security. With enough leverage or the right tools, a determined person could defeat a small hasp or the surrounding substrate. The true protection here is against opportunistic access—kids, roommates, or casual traffic—not against a break-in attempt.

A few practical tips to maximize security:

• Mount to solid material whenever possible. If you can hit framing or reinforce the panel with a blocking plate inside, do it.
• Keep the gap between hasp and lock body tight to reduce prying leverage.
• Consider security screws (one-way or tamper-resistant) if this is in a semi-public area.
• Pair with non-removable pin hinges on doors where hinge removal could bypass the latch.

Fit and compatibility

Because the lock body is roughly a 1.2-inch cube, check for clearance inside cabinets with shelves or face frames. On a narrow face frame, the 65 mm hasp plate leaves little room for error; measure twice and make sure you won’t interfere with adjacent doors or trim. On a basement closet, the scale of the hardware looks proportional and unobtrusive.

The set’s size works nicely for:

• Utility closets and basement storage doors
• Garage cabinets and tool chests with flat faces
• School or office supply cabinets
• RV interior cabinets where weight and bulk matter

I wouldn’t use it on an exterior gate, a shed that sees weather, or anywhere you expect heavy hands or frequent slamming.

Durability and maintenance

Zinc alloy resists corrosion and doesn’t need much care. A quick wipe keeps the finish clean. If the cylinder ever feels gritty, a small puff of graphite or a PTFE dry lubricant restores smooth turning without attracting dust. After a few weeks of daily use, there’s no play in the hinge or cam, and the latch still seats confidently.

As with any small lock, avoid forcing the key. If alignment drifts (door sag or seasonal wood movement), loosen the screws, realign the hasp, and retighten. The concealed-screw design makes this easy—you can access the fasteners while it’s open without removing the lock body.

What I’d improve

• Key management: A keyed-alike option would be handy for people installing multiple hasps in one space. I also wish the key blank were more common; in my area, duplication wasn’t readily available.
• Screws: The included screws work, but I’d like slightly longer, higher-grade options in the box for door installations.
• Instructions: The hardware is simple, but a one-page alignment guide with a drilling template would save first-time installers a few minutes.

None of these are dealbreakers, but they’re worth knowing before you plan a multi-door setup or expect turnkey keyed-alike convenience.

Who it’s for

• Homeowners who want a tidy, low-profile way to restrict access to a closet or cabinet
• Shop managers securing consumables or light tools in a back room
• Parents adding a lock to cleaning-supply cabinets
• RV and tiny home owners seeking compact locks without a padlock dangling

It’s not for securing high-value items, exterior gates, or any situation where you need a common key across multiple locks out of the box.

Recommendation

I recommend the Kyuionty hasp set for light-duty, indoor applications where you want clean looks, hidden mounting screws, and simple keyed access. It installs quickly, feels solid for its size, and the concealed fasteners elevate it above basic, screw-exposed hasps in the same class. Just go in knowing that each lock is uniquely keyed, key duplication may be hit-or-miss depending on your local locksmith, and security is “keep honest people honest,” not high security. If that matches your needs—a basement closet, a garage cabinet, or a supply cupboard—it’s a dependable, compact solution that does its job without fuss.
