FAQs – Padlocks
Which is stronger: square or round padlock?
Round and disc padlocks generally expose less shackle area, making them harder to cut. Square padlocks provide a compact, robust body ideal for main doors and gates.
What is breaking load in a padlock?
Breaking load measures the force a lock can withstand before failing. Dorset padlocks specify 2–3 ton breaking load for higher security confidence.
When should I choose a long shackle padlock?
Use long shackle padlocks when your latch or chain is thicker or needs more clearance. Always ensure it’s hardened for security.
Are Dorset padlocks weatherproof?
Yes. Our padlocks use SS304 rust-resistant bodies and weatherproof caps for long-term outdoor use.
