Review on Schlage 994831 Padlock 2 5 Inch Shackle by Ryan Cornelius

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good padlocks but only for indoor use

I bought these Schlage padlocks in 2019 and used one of them in 2000 to secure ladders tied together outside. A year later it is still usable, but the lock body is rusting, as is the shackle. Very disappointed, looked like a very sturdy well made padlock. I live on the California coast and the weather is usually fairly mild. Based on my experience with Schlage padlocks since the early 1960's I expected them to perform excellently. I still have one of these and it doesn't rust. It looks like a brass case and it's not clear what the clip is made of. It has been used outdoors since the 1960s. In addition, several standard grooves and hammer blanks are required. I doubt they don't make them anymore. If you need an outdoor lock, this isn't it!

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
  • Great price
