    The document MIL-DTL-43607J outlines a detailed specification for a high-security, shrouded shackle padlock intended for military use, approved by various Department of Defense agencies. It specifies the padlock's design, materials, requirements for bid samples, and testing procedures to ensure durability and security. The padlock features a dead bolt locking mechanism and must exhibit resistance to tampering and environmental stresses, including heat, cold, and corrosion. Key aspects include providing samples for testing, maintaining rigorous material standards, and ensuring components are crafted from new materials where possible. The requirements cover unique key configurations restricted exclusively for military use, mandating a minimum of 100,000 different key changes per contract. Inspections will follow specific classification (bid sample, first article, and conformance inspections) along with stringent testing regimes, such as drop tests, wear resistance evaluations, and low-temperature operations. The document emphasizes the importance of operational integrity, environmental considerations in material selection, and thorough documentation for packaging and maintenance instructions. Overall, it serves as a comprehensive guideline for manufacturers seeking compliance with federal security specifications in producing military padlocks.
