Padlock

The padlock icon represents security, protection, and privacy. It typically consists of a lock shape with a circular body and a shackle. This symbol originates from physical locks used to secure objects or areas.

The padlock icon is commonly used in software and platforms that require authentication or authorization, such as login pages, password managers like LastPass, and security software like Norton Antivirus.

From a UX perspective, the padlock icon communicates the idea of security and protection. It helps users understand that their data is safe and secure, and it can be used to indicate the level of security or encryption used in a system.

Padlock is one of 262 icons in Charm Icons, made by Jay Newey and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 16 × 16 grid with a 1.5 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds PadlockIcon to components/icons/charm-padlock.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed PadlockIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Padlock icon, or any of 262 Charm Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 16 × 16 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Padlock is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 1.5. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Padlock", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. PadlockIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <PadlockIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Charm Icons, Jay Newey and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
