Faux Pad Lock Prop

thingiverse

I designed this pad lock to use with plastic chains on a Halloween prop. To make it non-functional, I glued small rare earth magnets into the ends of the shackle. These magnets mate to magnets in the body of the lock. To ensure correct magnet polarity alignment, use part #3. Glue mating magnets into part #3 and click it to the end of the shackle. Apply a bit of glue to the bottom of part 3 and glue it into the body of the lock. Alternatively, you can just glue the shackle into the body if that works for your application.
