I scored down ease of use and build quality as was hard to turn key and unlock padlock. Chose the marine stainless one as using outside, not in marine environment so thought be no issue. Have greased the mechanism and key slot, works much better now, as it should from day one.
I bought this for my new shed and have not regretted it at all. Excellent value and easy to use in spite of my arthritis. Couldn’t have picked a better product. The locking mechanism requires only a key turn and is protected by a plastic buffer which keeps the rain out.
I didn’t expect that but it is already helping during the recent torrential rain. The bar is long enough to go on my hasp and still be secure so that there is no room to cut it away. All together a brilliant lock and one l would recommend to anyone.
Very well made padlock, feels very solid. Have had it outside securing the shed for some time now and it's still as smooth opening as when it came out the box. Highly recommended as I think it will last a long time, certainly a lot longer than some of the cheaper padlocks that you can get.
