What is the exact shackle diameter? Nowhere is this important detail listed. 9/32" or 3/8" or 7/16" or ???

7/16", just shy of half inch in diameter. Heavy duty, I'm impressed. I use two to lock the doors on my 53' van trailer.

The body is 1 3/4 wide x 1 3/8 tall x 1 thick. Counting the shackle whole lock is 2 9/16 tall. The inside of the shackle is 13/16 wide and the wire diameter is not quite 1/4 inch.

Sorry but no. I removed mine and twisted it totally closed and it is 8 & 2/16".

If you are talking about the U shaped shaft coming out of the lock body, that part is called the shackle. On the locks I have the shackle measures 110 thousandths in diameter, when using a dial caliper. That is just a hair bigger than 7/64 of an inch.

I ordered these [Master Lock 380T Keyed-Alike Padlock, Rustoleum, 2-Pack] and they work but I had to drill out the holes in trunk so the shackle would fit. 1-9/16-inch (40mm) wide laminated steel body, 1-1/8-inch shackle for additional clearance

They are 5/16" thick. Distance btwn holes is 5 3/8" to the 1st, 7' to the 2nd , 8 7/16" to the third. They have 1/2" holes that you may have to open up to 9/16". BTW, Advanced Auto carries these, although they did come fast. Hope this helps.Just read RM's post, disregard what this guy says! No shackle would give you more than a couple inches max! These are well over 10 inches long, not 8! If you have 9/16" or 14MM bolts in there now, you have to use them or get new ones, you can't go smaller and use the bolts provided(1/2") These are plenty good and you can run a bolt thru the middle holes for rigidity.

I just measured mine and the opening is 7/8" almost exactly. The pin is 7/8" excluding the threads but screws into the threaded 7/8" opening.

The hole is 7/16" on mine, but there is a burr around the edges that might be troublesome for a rod of that diameter. The rod they supply (which is very short), fits perfectly though and it's exactly 3/8".

It's not that thick. Looking at my ruler, maybe .5cm to .6cm (I dont' have it with me to measure). The hole on the gate lock I use it for was pretty small too and this fits it nicely. The shackle is nice and long (about 2 1/2 inches). Easy to set the password (and reset over and over again if you like). This was a good buy.

Not sure why it says 1/2", but it is definitely 3/8". I checked it with my pipe caliper just now.

The shackle does rattle on mine, don't think it is 1/8 inch, that sounds like a lot. Doesn't appear to be an issue on mine.

3/32". See http://www.robertsconsolidated.com/products.php?c=1⊂=13∏=163 for more info.

I didn't measure it but it appears to be about 3/4 inch. It is definitely not only 1/4 inch as Skeeter reported.

7/8 inch. Also look at the different product picture views on Amazon to see other measurements.

I'm SO sorry for not responding sooner; I've been out of town (& not checking emails). I gave this as a gift, but my best recollection is that it was 8 1/2" or 9". I hope this helps!

I THINK it's 5/8ths of an inch, but it may be 1/2 inch. I'm not home to measure. I DO know it's more than 3/8 inch. I really like mine!

My lock is 1/4" and is snug. I thought I would need to ream it out but I didnt. A 3/8" would be ideal
