THETAG 304 Stainless Steel Padlock vs Master Lock 40THC Shrouded Disc Padlock

Buy the Master Lock 40THC 2-pack if you want a proven brand and two locks for a gate and a shed. Buy the THETAG 304 stainless padlock if you want a lighter, fully stainless keyed lock with four keys for a locker, cabinet or bag. The Master Lock is a shrouded disc padlock, so its shackle is much harder to cut than the THETAG's exposed shackle, and it is the tougher target for a thief. The THETAG's 304 body and brass core resist rust well, but its 30 mm size and thin shackle suit light duty, not a high-security gate.

• Choose the THETAG 304 stainless padlock if you need a light, rust-resistant keyed lock with spare keys for a locker, cabinet, shed or bag.
• Choose the Master Lock 40THC 2-pack if you are locking a gate, container or outbuilding and want two shrouded disc locks from a long-established lock brand.
