How to choose your security padlock?

Before buying a car you may ask yourself dozens of questions and wait before buying. What will I use it for? Does it suit me? Is it more like this model? 

Or rather this one?Well, for a lock, you should ask yourself the same questions: Will I need it for a classic drawer closing use or rather in specific thermal conditions? Will I use it indoors or outdoors? Do I need a code lock or a key lock? What type of key will I need?

As you can see, it's not just about buying a pen, it's about a very important, specific and extremely resistant security tool. So make yourself comfortable and carefully choose the lock that suits you!

First of all, what is the main purpose of this padlock? Are you going to lock it on a school locker (long shackle padlock) or rather on construction equipment (ALPHA 800)? With this, you will know which level of strength you need to access.

Then, you will have to determine inside which object/material the shackle of the padlock will go through? The reasoning is logical: the larger the size of the passage, the more you will adapt the size of the shackle diameter. For example, the diameter of the shackle of the ALPHA 800 high-strength padlock is 11 mm, so you will have to choose the right size.

In order to make the best possible choice of padlock, you should consider whether it will be exposed to indoor or outdoor use, water, sea water or chemicals. For outdoor exposure, the ALPHA 800 heavy-duty padlock is ideal because of its precision stainless steel mechanism.

One last question should come to mind. What size lock do I really need? Take measurements and try it out under test conditions.

How to choose a padlock key?

When you chose a lock, you certainly did not ask yourself the question of access to it. Who has the keys/code? Will the people who have the keys/code have access to all the locks? You will have to choose between keyed and coded padlocks. Although combination padlocks are preferred when many people are required to have access. Regarding keyed security padlocks, a choice must be made as to the type of keys and quantity desired. In fact, there are three types of keyed padlocks:

• Padlocks with different keys: All sets of strips are different, each key opens the lock for which it is intended and does not open the others.
  
• Identical key padlocks: All keys are the same. Suitable for companies with a multitude of padlocks.
  
• Passkey locks: The passkey lock system works in the same way as a hotel manager's key that would open all the sports.
  

The combination of different types of keys will allow you to improve your key management. For example, all employees will have a key to open a specific lock and the manager will have a pass key to open all these locks. For efficient key management.
