When affixing a hasp, in what direction should the keyhole face for proper drainage?

When affixing a hasp, the keyhole should face toward the floor for proper drainage. This orientation helps prevent the accumulation of water inside the keyhole, which can occur if the keyhole is positioned in a way that allows rainwater or moisture to enter it. Facing the keyhole downward effectively channels any potential water away from the mechanism, reducing the risk of rust, corrosion, or jammed locks that could be caused by water ingress. Ensuring proper drainage in this manner extends the life of the lock and maintains its functionality.
