More on Padlocks

Padlocks are defined by their portability. When in need of any form of protection – as a result of threat of robbery, vandalism or sabotage -- a brass padlock will provide a decent amount of protection to any form of forced entry, harm, unauthorized use or disruption, and it can be carried around in a coat pocket, a bag or even a wallet. When trying to define what “forced entry” actually means, it is best concluded with any form of entry that requires the use of a hammer, a chisel, a drill or any other tool or piece of appropriate hardware. Other forms of unauthorized entry that a padlock can help avoid may involve the use of shims, picks, cards or bump keys. This is commonly known as surreptitious entry.
