Weather- and Cut-Resistant Padlocks
The partially concealed shackle on these padlocks means more security for your outdoor equipment and gates than a traditional padlock. Since most of the shackle is covered, it's difficult to access and cut. For durability outdoors, they’re made from materials that resist corrosion from rain and snow.
These padlocks have a pin-tumbler key locking mechanism, which is the most difficult locking mechanism to pick. The more pins the lock has, the harder it is to force open. Choose these padlocks if you need locks that each open with a different key. All have random key numbers.
Style A padlocks have a round, compact lock body that prevents them from being forced open with bolt cutters. Their key cylinder is on the face of the body, so you don’t need to lift and adjust the padlock to insert in the key.
Stainless-steel-body locks resist corrosion better than steel-body locks. Hardened steel shackles are stronger than stainless steel shackles.

Weather- and Cut-Resistant Keyed Alike Padlocks
Lock gates and outdoor equipment without worrying about the shackle being cut. These padlocks have raised shoulders that cover most of the shackle, making it difficult to access.

If the lock or key with the key number you want isn’t listed, order the "Other Key Numbers" and specify your desired key number.
