Types of padlocks
Our extensive range of padlocks offers a choice of combination padlocks, heavy-duty, key or smart (Bluetooth) lock type; manufactured from bronze, titanium, aluminium, brass, stainless steel, laminated steel or hardened steel for extra protection. Weatherproof padlocks are water & corrosion-resistant so can be used both indoor and outdoor. Speciality plastic-covered padlocks are ideal for electrical application and offer superior resistance to chemicals and temperature.
Key-Lock type padlocks can be divided into two categories: •Keyed Alike – Use a single key to open multiple locks. Keying locks alike is a great time-saving solution as, with only one key, time does not need to be spent looking for the correct one. It also saves having to carry around a large bunch of keys. •Keyed to differ – Each lock will come with its own key, one which cannot be used on any other locks.
