- What is a shrouded padlock for?
- The shroud is a steel collar around the shackle that blocks bolt cutters and saws from reaching the shackle. It is meant for outdoor, high-theft spots like gates, sheds and storage units.
- Will it fit my hasp?
- The shroud covers part of the shackle, so the hasp or chain needs a wide enough opening for the whole body to pass through. Measure the hasp opening before buying.
- Are all six locks keyed alike?
- Master Lock sells this pack in keyed-alike sets, so one key opens all six. Check the pack labeling to confirm which keying you are getting.
- Is stainless steel better than brass for outdoor use?
- Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion well in rain and coastal air. Brass also holds up, but the shrouded stainless body adds cut resistance that a plain brass padlock lacks.
- Can it be used on a locker or cabinet?
- Not well. The shrouded body is bulky and needs a large hasp opening, so it is a poor fit for lockers, cabinets and small hasps.
- How does it compare with a standard padlock?
- It trades convenience for security. The shroud and disc cylinder resist cutting and picking better, but the lock is heavier and fits fewer mounting points.
