Frequently Asked Questions

What factors should I consider when choosing a padlock?

When selecting a padlock, consider the material, size, and security risks at the point of use. Materials like brass and stainless steel offer durability and corrosion resistance, while iron is cost effective and the preferred choice by many customers for use in lower risk situations. The size should match the application, ensuring it fits securely. Additionally, look for locks which counter your security risks. Finally, consider whether you need keyed or combination locks based on convenience and security needs.

How do I maintain my padlocks for longevity?

To ensure your padlocks last, regular maintenance is essential. Clean the lock periodically with a soft cloth to remove dirt and debris. Lubricate the keyhole and shackle with a suitable lock lubricant to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.

What is the difference between keyed alike and keyed to differ padlocks?

Keyed alike padlocks are designed to be opened with the same key, making them ideal for users who want to simplify access to multiple locks. This is particularly useful for businesses or individuals managing several locks. In contrast, keyed to differ padlocks do not all open with the same key. They have many different key profiles thus enhancing security by reducing the risk of other users being able to open a specific lock. Choosing between the two depends on your security needs and convenience preferences.

Are combination padlocks more secure than keyed padlocks?

Combination padlocks can offer a different type of security compared to keyed padlocks. They eliminate the risk of losing or the need to have keys, which can be a significant advantage. However, their security largely depends on the complexity of the combination. A simple combination can be easily guessed, while a more complex one can provide robust security. Ultimately, the choice between the two should be based on your specific security requirements and how you plan to use the lock.

What additional security products do you recommend alongside padlocks?

Security chains provide extra protection for large items, while hasps allow for secure attachment of padlocks to gates or doors. Key safes are popular for holiday lets and families, ensuring they are accessible only to authorised individuals. Combining these products with padlocks can create a comprehensive security solution tailored to your needs.
