Pad Locks

Padlocks for gates, compound doors, storage sheds, lockers, luggage, and almirah hasps — T21's padlock collection covers key-operated security locks across multiple sizes, shackle lengths, and security grades for Indian residential and commercial use. Padlocks are the most versatile locking solution in Indian homes — the same padlock mechanism works across a gate aldrop, a storage shed latch, a locker hasp, and a shipping container — making them the default choice wherever a fixed mortise lock cannot be installed.

Padlock selection is driven by two factors: shackle diameter and body size in relation to the hasp or staple it secures, and the security grade required for the application. A padlock on a residential gate aldrop has different security requirements from one securing a commercial storage facility. Body size determines the number of locking pins and the resistance to cutting — larger bodies accommodate more complex mechanisms with higher security ratings.

What padlock size is correct for a standard Indian residential gate aldrop? For a standard Indian residential gate aldrop, a padlock with a 6mm to 8mm shackle diameter and a body width of 40mm to 50mm provides adequate security without being oversized for the hasp. For compound gates and commercial storage where higher forced-entry resistance is required, specify a body width of 60mm or above with a hardened steel shackle.

What is the difference between an open shackle and a closed shackle padlock? An open shackle padlock has the shackle exposed on both sides of the body — accessible to bolt cutters. A closed shackle padlock has the shackle recessed into the body with minimal exposed metal, making cutting extremely difficult. For high-security applications like external gates, storage rooms, and commercial premises, closed shackle padlocks provide significantly better resistance to forced entry.
