How to Choose the Right Padlock or Lock?
Choosing a lock depends on the desired level of security and the environment in which it will be used. For outdoors and areas exposed to the weather, choose stainless steel or anti-corrosion treated steel padlocks, equipped with rubber seals that protect the internal mechanism from rain and frost.
For entrance doors, the cylinder (barrel) must be measured exactly. Measure the distance from the center of the cam (the fastening screw) to the outside on both sides (e.g., 30x30 mm, 40x45 mm). For travel luggage, we recommend TSA-approved combination locks, which allow customs agents to check your luggage without cutting the lock.
| Lock System Type | Recommended Material | Ideal Usage |

| Combination Padlock | Zinc Alloy / Steel | Travel luggage, gym lockers, bicycles. |
| Door Cylinder (Barrel) | Nickel-plated Brass | House/apartment entrance doors, metal doors. |
Frequently Asked Questions about Padlocks and Locks
How do I prevent an outdoor padlock from rusting and jamming?
Choose a dedicated outdoor padlock from the start (made of stainless steel, brass, or protected by a rubber sleeve). For maintenance, periodically (every 3-6 months) spray a lubricant spray like WD-40 or graphite powder into the keyhole and on the shackle to prevent the mechanism from jamming due to dust and moisture.
Is a key padlock safer than a combination padlock?
For high-level anti-burglary protection (gates, garages), a key padlock made of solid hardened steel with an anti-drill cylinder is much safer. Combination padlocks are excellent for convenience (no keys to lose) and medium security (lockers, luggage, cabinets).
How do I correctly measure a door cylinder (barrel) for replacement?
Remove the old cylinder from the door. Measure the distance from the center of the fixing screw hole (the cam) to the left edge, then from the center to the right edge. These two measurements, expressed in millimeters (e.g., 35/45), represent the size you need for the new cylinder.
