- Is this padlock suitable for outdoor use in rain?
- Yes. The body is laminated steel with a composite coating, and the shackle is hardened steel, both aimed at outdoor exposure. The brass cylinder and stainless steel locking balls are also chosen to resist corrosion.
- What is the security rating of 5?
- It is Sealey's own scale, not a standardized rating like Sold Secure or CEN. A 5 indicates medium-duty security, fine for gates and sheds but below what you would want for a high-value bike or a main door.
- What size hasp does it fit?
- The shackle has a 10mm diameter, with 22mm internal width and 23mm internal height. Check that your hasp staple and hole accept a 10mm shackle and that the 23mm clearance fits the staple.
- How many keys come in the box?
- Two keys are supplied. There is no keyed-alike or master-key option stated, so if you need several locks on one key, this model is not the one to choose.
- How does it compare with a disc padlock?
- A disc padlock shields its shackle and resists cutting and grinding better. This padlock has an exposed 10mm hardened shackle, so it is easier to attack with bolt cutters. It is lighter and cheaper in build, suited to lower-risk outdoor use.
- What are the body dimensions?
- The body measures 54mm wide, 35mm deep and 50mm high, and the padlock weighs 0.39kg. That is a compact medium-size body, not a heavy-duty industrial lock.
- Where is the Sealey Steel Body Weatherproof Padlock 54mm cheapest?
- At White Rose Tools, for $22.00, as of our latest check.
