I needed to replace 3 padlocks of the same key way, that secure our back garden. (once an intruder is at the back the house he has unobserved access to doors and windows). Being north facing on a hill, we get extremes of weather and locks that can handle the environment were essential. These locks proved ideal, and arrived quickly. I especially like the plastic plug that seals the key hole
This is a lovely little padlock. I bought this to lock our outside cast iron gate because we had become fed up with the previous locks getting so stiff in the rain that we can't use them anymore.This seems like a much better bet because it is advertised as waterproof. (We seem to get a lot of water in Bolton)
One point we found was that if the lock is open and left on the gate in the rain it tends to let water in. This because the black casing on the bars leave bare metal underneath. This is reasonable. The cure is to either keep it locked or remove it to a dry place. When locked it seems very waterproof.
The lock works extremely well, feels very secure and is a very pretty colour.
This is a lovely little lock. It has a hinged cover to prevent water from getting into the mechanism. The cover is easy to open and the key slides in smoothly every time. The mechanism springs into action as soon as I turn the key and it is so easy to close by a pushing the shackle into the hole in the padlock body. It looks smart (if that matters to you) and provides my back gate with the security I require to protect outside stuff. Clearly there can be many more uses for this little blue protector and I would not hesitate to recommend this Abus padlock.
I found the website easy to use and was able to locate the appropriate padlocks after ordering the wrong type on the first occasion. I was able to return these easily and received a full refund which I then put towards the upgraded variety. This was done after a chat with one of their experts who advised me on a more suitable version given the location where they were requirted. Now fitted on my beach hut, which appears to be OK viewed at a distance from the cliff-top. Will recheck it after lockdown but expect to find it still intact as these padlocks are very robust.
Ideal for purpose. Weatherproof with a key entry cover to keep out moisture. My previous padlock kept getting difficult to open due to ingress of moisture leading to a stuck padlock. My padlock is on my back garden gate to prevent unwanted entry, and this padlock fulfills the task admirably. The general appearance is good and the color (blue) is attractive. The very inclement weather we have had over the last month has had no detrimental effects on the efficacy of this padlock. I highly recommend this product for all household security requirements.
Great padlocks that's easy to use and has so far have stood up to all that has been thrown at them, one is on a shed, one on the garage door and the third is on an awning on the side of my truck and has survived water, mud and sand and sea salt and works flawlessly. Great service as well, I initially ordered two padlocks but needed a third and matching the keys was not a problem at all. Great company and very helpful staff. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using again when I need other padlocks.
I like these padlocks, they are good quality, do not rust/ The only think that I was disappointed about was that they were not the same number key as the others I bought from you, which would have been more convenient.
Excellent padlocks and would recommend.
Happy so far with this lock. I wanted a lock that would not rust and so far so good. It has been outside continually for a while now through spring / summer weather, extreme heat and torrential downpours. Due to the time of year purchased I have not observed it in freezing / snowy winter weather yet.
