What's bundled into this heading

HSN 8301 isn't just padlocks and locks (key, combination, or electrically operated) — it also covers clasps and frames with clasps that incorporate locks, and keys for any of these products, as long as they're of base metal. A standalone replacement key for a lock you already classified under 8301 belongs under this same code, not a generic hardware heading.
