Always losing your keys? A combination padlock might be exactly what you need to secure your home or locker. These locks are a favourite for anyone who wants a solid security option without the hassle of managing keys.
At LockShop Direct, we're home to a fantastic selection of combination locks you can use for the ultimate combination (pun intended) of convenience and security. Take a look at our range of locks from some of the biggest brands in personal security below - including Abus, Asec, Yale, and more.
You'll find a ton of different combination padlocks on the market, at different thicknesses and made with different materials, but they all work on the same fundamental principle...
How Do Combination Locks Work?
Instead of a key - like the ones you'd use on traditional padlocks and chains - on a combi lock, you align a specific sequence of numbers to unlock the mechanism. Typically, you rotate a dial to interact with internal discs. Once the correct sequence is entered, the locking mechanism unlocks, as if you'd turned a key.
These locks come in all shapes and sizes, from simple three-digit locks perfect for luggage, toolboxes or a gym locker, all the way up to high-security, safe-like locks ideal for long-term outdoor use and to prevent access from more experienced criminals.
Key Security Benefits of Coded Padlocks
Exclusivity: Only someone who knows the correct combination can open it.
Convenient: Keys are easily misplaced, so you may find it easier to commit a simple combination to memory and eliminate the risk.
Customisable: You're usually able to enter a new code as and when you wish, should you need to change up your security measures frequently.
Robust: High-quality combination padlocks are notoriously difficult to crack or break through, and are made with thick, hard-wearing materials that stand up to attacks from hand tools and certain power tools.
Variety: You'll see different combo lock types during your research, like multi-dial locks, single-dial locks, and more. Remember, the best one for you comes down to evaluating your specific security needs.
Quick Tip: Whether you choose a high-tech combination lock or the most basic one, it's always a good idea to ensure your door itself is strong and reinforced. Even the best lock in the world needs to be complemented by a solid, secure door! The same is true of gates.
