Review on Puroma Keyed Padlock 1-Pack: Waterproof Solid Brass Lock with 2.6 Inch Long Shackle for Sheds, Storage Units, School Gym Lockers, Fences, Toolboxes, Hasps, and Storage by Christopher Lott

Good price for locks with long shackles

I like these locks. They look good - with an attractive smooth bronze finish. The long shackle makes them usable in a wider range of situations and avoids the silly situations where too little shackle length prevents the lock from reaching what it's supposed to lock. All four locks in the set open with the same key, which I also like because I don't want to keep track of multiple keys and remember which one opens which lock. I have not undergone durability tests. They close when I close them and open when I unlock them. As far as possible, they worked. I doubt this is a good defense against professional or dedicated thieves. The long shackle is more open and slightly thinner than other rim locks and should be easy to cut with the right special tool. But to keep 99% of the mostly honest and/or lazy people out of your stuff, they work. There is a wide range of locks to choose from. If you're locking up something very valuable or somewhere someone can work on it for a while, you probably need a more expensive/reliable lock. But for more everyday use, they suit me.
