The arms and their description
The Swedish description in the Heraldica record places three gold padlocks, interlaced in a three-lobed arrangement, on a red field and specifies black keyholes.

Background in local sources
Hallsberg Municipality’s communications guideline shows the arms as part of the municipal logo alongside the words “Hallsbergs kommun”. It explains use of the mark but does not explain why three padlocks were chosen or what they symbolise.
Heraldic elements
The heraldic elements are identified using HERO, a heraldry ontology published through Finland's Finto service. It provides structured terminology for describing coats of arms and their components. The list describes the structure of the arms, not the symbolic meaning of its elements.
