Padlocks

Padlocks are generally used for two key purposes. They are either used to prevent unauthorised access to an area, building or an item - or they are used to prevent theft. Often, their use is a combination of these applications, for example, when used to secure a shed or an outbuilding.

When selecting your padlock it’s important to be sure you make the right choice.

Padlock Buying Guide 

Here are some pointers which will help you select the best padlock for your needs.

  1. Remember that any security system is only ever as good as its weakest link.
    • Don’t allow a poor quality padlock to be the weak link.
  2. Determine the value of what you want to secure.
    • High value items require high security, robust padlocks.
  3. Consider all other elements of your security precautions.
    • Chains, hasps and hinges need to be as strong as the padlocks used.
  4. Do you need a padlock with a specific insurance rating.
    • Insurance companies often stipulate the need fo CEN rated padlocks.
  5. Does your padlock need to operate outdoors?
    • If so, you will need to consider weatherproof padlocks.
  6. Do you have any specific padlock shackle requirements?
    • Closed shackle padlocks, for example, provide higher security.
  7. Do you have any special padlock keying requirements?
    • Master keying, keyed alike and restricted key options are available.
  8. Would you prefer a combination padlock over a keyed padlock?
  9. What size of padlock do you need?
    • Make certain your selected padlock is the right size for the hasp or chains it will be used with.
