A self protecting hasp for use with a padlock includes a standard eye attached to an eye plate. Further it includes a latch which has a flap which is hinged to an appropriate hinge plate. The flap includes a slot which allows for positioning of the flap onto the eye. The self protecting hasps of the invention include an inhibiting member which fits over at least that portion of the flap wherein the slot is located. The inhibiting member prevents access to the slot and the eye projecting thereto and any padlock locked through the eye. Further a latch eye can connect to the cover member and project towards the slot whereby it will lay adjacent to the eye. This allows the latch eye to also be engaged by a shank of a padlock which is passed through the eye. This fixedly secures the cover member over the flap to prevent prying and other forceful unauthorized access to the area of the hasp beneath the cover member.
