SERVICE PLANNING

Choose a padlock and keying plan for the opening

Padlocks secure gates, storage areas, equipment and other openings, but weather exposure, shackle clearance and daily use affect which hardware fits. Different keying options are available for compatible products, from separate keys for each lock to keyed-alike groups or systems connected to an existing key plan. Start with the opening and who needs access, then confirm product and cylinder compatibility before selecting a solution.

Describe what the padlock secures

Share the opening, shackle clearance, exposure to weather and how frequently the lock will be used.

Decide who should share a key

Say whether each lock needs a separate key, a keyed-alike group or a planned connection to an existing compatible key system.

Check compatibility before ordering

Product, cylinder and keyway determine available options; confirm the proposed padlocks fit the opening and access plan.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before dispatch.

Can several padlocks use the same key?

Some compatible padlocks can be keyed alike. Availability depends on the product, cylinder and keyway, so confirm the hardware before choosing a set.

What keying options are available for padlocks?

Different keying options are available, including separate keys or keyed-alike groups for compatible products. Restricted-key or master-key arrangements depend on the selected system.

What should I share when asking about a padlock?

Describe what it secures, whether it is exposed to weather, how often it is used, and whether keys should be shared or kept separate.
