The Best Padlocks for 2024
What are the best padlocks money can buy?
We keep getting asked what "we would choose if you were me" or "what is the best padlock". As such we felt a top 3 list, selected by our technical director would be a good idea. They're not the cheapest but the best in terms of quality, strangth and value. This list is continually being reviewed and updated as manufacturers bring new products to the market! If you disagree with our choices, we'd be very keen to hear what you think!
