The lower cup portion includes an access port for placement about a flush mounted lock and adhesive means to secure the device about the lock. The upper cup includes a tab and a raised depressible dome portion which allows the upper cup to be enlarged therefore releasing the sealing engagement with the lower cup and breaking any ice that may form about the invention.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a lock protector includes a front and back cover and a hinge portion formed from a single sheet of vinyl material. A hasp slot is formed in the back cover of the protector through which a hasp is inserted. The front and back covers include mutually contact adherent strips around the perimeter of the covers adapted to sealingly engage when the front cover is folded onto the back cover along the hinge portion with the lock situated within and attached to the hasp. Another embodiment is disclosed in which the lock protector includes a pouch defining a pocket for receiving the lock therein. The protector includes a flap extending from the pouch and adapted to overlay the opening of the pocket. The flap includes a hasp slot which is intersected by the hinge portion so that when the flap is folded over the pocket opening the hasp slot opens upward to receive the hasp. A number of contact adherent strips are provided on the flap for engaging the pouch and for engaging about the hinge portion.
