Select a grade 4 corrosion rated padlock – for the harshest of applications, such as marine use, use the stainless steel bodied and shackled marine grade padlocks.
As padlocks are often in exposed positions, lubrication of the cylinder may be required more often than with other locks.
Brass (and stainless steel) padlocks are susceptible to this, for highest security, use a padlock with a hardened steel case.
All padlock accessories are supplied with suitable fixings for normal installations, it is important that they are used to maximise security.
