secure padlock needed

I have the squire close shackle padlock (ss50) that secures a bike chain, £50 atm. Seems to meet all the standards.

Read the description again of the one in the OP and come back and tell us what 'duty' it is. A clue: It’s not heavy.
 
the "closed shackle" shroud is sometimes an add-on shoulderpiece in cast alloy or even plastic. What is yours made of, and does it slide off?

It feels like rubber, and does slip off but the "closed" part of the shackle is as seen in the gap iirc.
 
Wow is this thread still going, I never thought a padlock was so interesting, my contribution is this, how much do you value your stock should be your guide on how much you want to spend on a lock, simple as end of story

But that is the only door/ entery point to the trailer

So you have to climb under the trailer and enter/exit through a trap door in the floor? Was this the trailer you were converting into a living space?

Check out the watching paint dry threads, they're even longer and more intersting.
 
This guy is either trying to smuggle Jedi's onto the death star in his 'secret trap door' or he's got a weed farm going on.
 
Hasp and staple pretty flawed these days with battery grinders. My tool cabinet had a 5 lever anti-drill mortice deadlock so not much to cut off.

It's also labelled "Paint Store - Flammable Liquids" as an additional deterrent, obviously one has to hope they can read a bit.

I read a story of someone who put a sign saying "No tools are left in this van overnight" and took his tools indoors. He came out one morning and the door had been ripped off. Obviously nothing was taken but they left a note saying "just checking!"

but can it be cut off with a grinder?

Absolutely.
Some may take a little longer than others but they can all be cut off.

Locks only keep the honest person and the quick chancer away.
A prepared thief will open it if they need to.

a lock like that i guess would be hard to brake into. if i could find one with a hesp might be worth buying
