Master Lock Co 78DPF Double Loop Security Cable 6 Ft

Product Description

The MASTER LOCK CO 78DPF is a 6-foot double loop security cable designed for use with padlocks in light-duty securing applications. The cable is constructed from braided galvanized steel wires, providing a combination of tensile strength and flexibility suited for routing around frames, posts, and equipment. At 3/8 inch in diameter, it offers a solid cross-section without excessive bulk. Convenient preformed loops at each end feature rust-resistant sleeves and scratch guards, making it straightforward to attach a padlock without additional hardware. A smoke vinyl outer coating runs the length of the cable to help prevent surface scratching on secured equipment.

This cable is well suited for securing bicycles, gates, tool storage, ladders, and similar equipment in residential, light commercial, and jobsite environments. It is recommended for use with laminated padlocks and solid steel padlocks. The galvanized steel construction and vinyl coating make it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor applications where light corrosion resistance is needed. The unit is sold individually and packaged on a card for point-of-sale display.

Installation Notes

No special tools are required for setup — route the cable through or around the object to be secured, then pass a padlock shackle through both loops to complete the lock-up. Inspect the cable sleeves and vinyl coating periodically for wear or corrosion, particularly in outdoor or high-humidity environments. Do not use this cable as a primary restraint for loads requiring rated tie-down or life-safety hardware.
