The simple padlock is still widely used

The simple padlock is still widely used around the world by businesses and personal use. With so many thieves taking advantage of open sheds and unlocked bags the humble padlock offers a small layer of protection and is a symbol for security in many different areas. The technology for padlocks hasn’t really changed for the past 300 years, still you can find similar looking locks on old churches or antique chests. If you really want to secure an item then padlocks can only go so far as simple circular saws can cut through them.
