How To Choose The Right Padlock For You

Padlocks are one of the most popular safety measures people choose to purchase from us here at LockShop Direct.

Being so convenient in size, yet reliable in strength, padlocks can be used to lock up bikes, keep sheds secure and keep areas of your home away from prying hands. 

But with so many to choose from, and regular technological advancements, how are you meant to choose the right one for you?

The team here at LockShop Direct have put together an easy-to-follow guide to make the choice that little bit easier. 

Keep reading to find out more. 

Brass padlocks 

Brass padlocks are probably what your mind goes to when you think of padlocks. 

Durable, convenient and affordable. Just some of the benefits of the humble brass padlock that has been in and around our homes for years. 

Although one of the more affordable options, it doesn’t mean you have to worry about quality.

Our range of high-quality brass padlocks are manufactured to last through rain and shine while protecting your sheds, gates and greenhouses. 

Operated using a key, our brass padlocks range from £2 to £50. With such a wide price range, there’s something for everyone and every budget. 

Combination padlocks 

As the name suggests, combination padlocks are unlocked using a PIN code created by you. 

Using an easy-to-remember (yet unpredictable) code means there is no key to be lost or stolen, ensuring maximum security. 

Padlocks are a great way to reinforce existing locks and act as a deterrent for burglars. If a passer-by sees you have quality security measures in place, they’re less likely to attempt a break-in. 

Smart padlocks 

Smart padlocks use modern technology to connect your padlock to your smartphone. 

Our range of smart security systems is never-ending, with our most popular smart padlock being the IglooHome Smart Padlock. You can connect it to your phone or use the keypad to unlock the padlock. 

If you’re looking for a fuss-free and modern alternative to the beloved padlock, this is the option for you. They’re reliable, easy to use and limit the risk of forgetting your key. 

The best part is that you can send the code and unlock the padlock from wherever you are, as long as you have a Bluetooth connection. This is great if you have a child that forgets their house key a bit too often or a friendly neighbour that waters your plants for you.
