About Padlocks

Padlocks are a versatile and widely used lock option for self-storage facilities, offering a straightforward solution that is familiar and easy to use. Unlike disc locks, which encase most of the shackle to protect against bolt cutters, padlocks leave the shackle exposed, making them potentially more vulnerable. Compared to cylinder locks, padlocks are generally less integrated into the door's locking mechanism, providing convenience and flexibility but often at the expense of higher security features.
