Combination padlocks are a neat solution

Combination padlocks are a neat solution to shared security devices, which may be opened by many people. Keys need to be passed from person to person or copies made if multiple people need to access the same lock; this paves the way for keys to be lost or stolen easily as so many are around the place! Combination padlocks usually require a number from 0 to 9,999, a whopping 10,000 combinations which would take a long time or a very lucky guess for someone to hack it!

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.
