Long Shackle Padlocks

We have a few of our most popular padlocks designed with extra long shackles to enable them to be used in situations when standard lengths are too restrictive. It is important to remember that by having a longer shackle it will make attacks by bolt-cutters and saws easier. These types of padlock are the complete opposite style to the Closed Shackle Padlocks which restrict attacks. If you really need a long shackle padlock, try and go for the size up so that the shackle is as thick as it can be to fit through the hole of the hasp or chain you're attaching it to.

FAQs

The difference is that we are an actual padlock company that sells, manufactures, tests and advises industry. Other websites you see selling padlocks are "online retail shops" which often sell many other things.

There are some substantial differences which affect you as a customer:

1. The padlocks we sell are often superior to similar ones elsewhere. For example, the ABUS locks you see on Amazon, Screwfix and many other online sites are cheap alternatives even if the brand is the same. They're made to a budget for these online outlets.

2. We hand pick the products we sell through testing and real life experience. There is a lot of rubbish in the market which is manufactured to a low standard or functionally unreliable. We just don't bother stocking it.

3. We keep secure records of your keys so in many cases you can reorder padlocks again to match existing ones in the future.

3. Our stock belongs to us, in our own warehouse and is up to date. Many online stores don't own the stock they sell and dropship direct from large warehouses. This means if you buy elsewhere then your lock might be an old model, the keys might not be unique and could have been sat there for years.

Yes. When a padlock is attacked it is almost always to the shackle by cutting, sawing, cropping or pulling. Having a long shackle makes it a lot easier to do any one of those things! As such, if you can, try and get a padlock without a long shackle. Even better, choose a closed shackle padlock! Here is a good photo of how a normal shackle can be easily cut compared to a closed shackle (disc).

In most designs no but we do have one where this is the case. The shackle of the ABUS Granit Padlocks can be detached entirely which makes it particularly useful when securing some gates or lock boxes. A small bolt can be removed from the side and then the shackle can be removed. The bolt doesn't affect the padlock in terms of function, it just means the shackle will come out entirely when unlocked. It is merely a retaining bolt. Store it someone safe if you remove it so you can convert the padlock back in the future.

Sure. Just click on the product and it will ask you if you want it keyed alike. Failing that just go to the dedicated keyed alike section.
