Waterproof Keyed Alike Padlocks for Outdoor use, Laminated Steel Lock Body with Plastic Covered, 1-9/16 Inch. Wide, Long Shackle-Pack of 6

These locks work great.I like the protective rubber that slips on/off to keep water from leaking inside of the locking mechanism as well as the rubber cover to close off the key hole to keep it from rusting from the weather elements.Will purchase more of these if I ever need more that the quantity I've originally purchased.

Excellent Design, escpecially the SealsMinus 1-star as could not open several locks at first... Discovered that they simply had to be "worked/operated" a couple times, before the keys would work... after that, no problem.Hint: Need to slighly Compress the Shackle during key (opening) operation, else the mechanism tends to Bind... which leads you to believe that the key is not working. (eg The Rubber Bellows/Seal puts a slight Load on the lock mechanism... not allowing it to turn correctdly, until you "unload" it via compression")-------Update: Used this on trailer for cross-country drive (5-days, 3k miles) and found some negatives:-None of the weatherproof caps would stay closed (regardless of orientation into airflow)-When the weatherproof cap is installed (while parked in the rain) Water Accumulates INSIDE the cap... which means that the lock mechanism is at least somewhat sitting inside water... (and presumably would be capped in ICE had the weather been cold enough). This is a design flaw, as the cap should be watertight, else is not really providing much weather protection.-One of the rubber bellows seals (on the shackle) fell off when lock was opened... I happened to notice it missing, and was able to find it on ground before leaving; hence just popped it back into place... but, it's still a cause for concern, as need to verify all seals are in-place, before closing the lock and walking away.

I put that in the subject because nowhere in the description or anywhere else mentions it so this shoud help others. The locks are very heavy duty feeling for what they are and they lock very well. Using for my lawn care setup to keep my trimmers and edgers locked on my racks. Now when I need to get a trimmer, I simply use the key to crack it open and I can put the key up. When I get it out, I simpily snap it back in and it locks. No key needed to lock. I had those dumb locks that requires the key to lock and not only that, the stupid key is stuck in there until you lock it!, defies the purpose of a lock!... NOT THESE!!!!! I'm gonna give those other ones to the garbage.Get these because they work. A litle trick is you can put a touch of air tool lube in or baby oil or even veg oil inside the lock which keeps it lubed if you use it outside. No it won't grab the dirt and keep it and all that jazz. It also helps protect the internals from weathering and galvanizing. Been using that method for years and it's never let me down. I just needed better locks that match for all three racks and were better than the crap I had. Get these, you will be glad you did.

Bought these to help the local youth soccer league out. Took one of the locks off the gate for the first time after being put on (1mth) and there was rust in where the hook latches to the lock. The rubber coating is all still intact and when the lock was put on, the rubber end was even put back on to protect the opening of the lock. When I went to put the lock back on, it wouldn't catch to lock. So far that was only 1 out of the 6 but have to check and see how the other ones are doing.

rubber coated. high qualitycame with way too many keys. 12. :-)high quality locks
