Is this padlock good for outdoor use?

Yes. The body and shackle are stainless steel, and the brass cylinder is chosen for weather resistance, so it handles rain and temperature swings better than brass or painted steel locks.

What does keyed alike in sixes mean?

Locks ship in batches of six that all open with the same key. You cannot choose the keying, and a single lock from a batch will not match another batch.

How does it compare with a hardened steel padlock?

It wins on rust resistance, but a hardened-steel shackle resists cutting and sawing better. For gates and sheds it is fine; for high-theft areas, choose a hardened or shrouded lock.

What size shackle does it have?

The shackle is 3/8 inch in diameter with about 2-1/2 inches of clearance, so it fits most standard hasps and thicker chains.

Can I get replacement keys?

Yes, it uses the Master Lock K1 key blank. A locksmith can cut copies from that blank.

Is it pick-resistant?

It has a brass 4-pin cylinder that resists basic picking and bumping, but it is not a high-security lock. Treat it as a deterrent, not a vault.

What reviewers say

Owners rate it well for outdoor duty, praising the stainless build and smooth locking in wet conditions. Some wish the shackle were hardened and note the keyed-alike sets limit keying options.

BuildPraisedBuyers describe a solid, heavy lock with smooth locking action.
KeyingMixedKeyed-alike sets are convenient, but buyers wanting different keys or rekeying find options limited.
