The shackle is the part that gets cut, so it is the part to read · review
The one padlock here that tells you how thick its shackle is — and then advertises that the shackle is extended rather than shrouded.
The conclusion The only padlock on this shelf that publishes the figure this shelf's introduction puts first — a 7 mm (0.28 in) hardened shackle, 38 mm (1.50 in) long and 16 mm (0.63 in) wide — plus three bodies on two keys and a lifetime guarantee for twenty-one dollars. Seven millimeters is modest and the extended shackle is the most exposed here, so read the buying tip: this is the right lock for a hasp that needs reach, and the wrong one where a shroud would fit. One bullet is lifted from a deadbolt listing.
No shrouding. No cut strength figure.
Which no other lock on this shelf does.
This shelf’s introduction calls diameter in millimeters the first specification that matters. At least six of the fourteen padlocks here omit it.
Seven millimeters of hardened steel resists a hacksaw for a useful number of minutes, and is within range of a mid-sized bolt cutter.
That is a judgment you can only make because the figure is on the page.
“Extended shackle for application flexibility.”
This shelf’s introduction lists how much of the shackle is exposed to a bolt cutter as one of three things that matter, and calls a closed shackle the single biggest step up in this family.
Thirty-eight millimeters is the most exposed shackle on this shelf.
It is also the only one that will pass through a thick hasp, a chain link or two staples.
The buying tip settles it: match the padlock to the hasp. A hasp that needs 38 mm (1.50 in) needs 38 mm (1.50 in).
Backset. Cross bore. Door thickness.
Those are the three measurements taken before fitting a deadbolt into a door.
A padlock has no backset, no cross bore, and goes through no door.
The sentence has been copied from a door lock listing. Worth noticing only because the rest of this page is the most precise on the shelf.
Which is the entry-level count.
Six is common on security-rated cylinders. Four resists a casual pick and not a practiced one.
Dual ball bearing locking is the better half of this specification: it is what resists prying and hammering at the shackle heel.
On sale at around $21 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

| Shackle | 9/32 in (7 mm) diameter, 1-1/2 in (38 mm) long and 5/8 in (16 mm) wide, in hardened steel — stated. It is the ONLY shackle diameter published on this shelf, and this shelf's introduction calls diameter in millimeters the first specification that matters. Seven millimeters is a modest section: enough to resist a hacksaw for a while, within reach of a decent bolt cutter |
|---|---|
| Shrouding | NONE, and the opposite is advertised: an extended shackle for application flexibility, stated as a benefit. This shelf's introduction says how much of the shackle is exposed to a bolt cutter is one of three things that matter and calls a closed shackle the single biggest step up in this family. A 38 mm (1.50 in) extended shackle is the most exposed on this shelf |
| Body | 1-9/16 in (40 mm) wide laminated steel — stacked and riveted plates rather than a casting, which resists a hammer better than die-cast zinc |
| Cylinder | A 4-pin cylinder for pick resistance, with dual ball bearing locking for pry resistance — stated. Four pins is the entry-level count; six is common on security-rated locks |
| Supplied | Three padlocks with two keys, and both keys open all three — stated. Keyed alike out of the box, which at least three of the fourteen padlocks on this shelf offer |
| Weather | Stated for indoor and outdoor use, with a laminated steel body. Laminated steel is plated, and this shelf's introduction warns that a plated steel body on a weather-facing gate will seize by spring. The brass lock on this shelf is the one that does not |
| Guarantee | A lifetime guarantee, stated — the only lifetime guarantee on this shelf |
| Fitting note | The first bullet reads: measure your door's backset, cross bore and thickness to ensure you find the right fit. Backset, cross bore and door thickness are DOOR LOCK measurements. A padlock has none of them, and the sentence belongs to a deadbolt listing |
| Cut strength | Not published as a figure. One lock on this shelf publishes one |

For a shed, a toolbox or a gate where the lock is a deterrent, yes; against a determined attack with the right tool, no — and the value of this listing is that it lets you make that judgment at all. Seven millimeters of hardened steel resists a hacksaw for a useful number of minutes and is within range of a mid-sized bolt cutter. At least six of the fourteen padlocks on this shelf publish no diameter whatever, so with them you cannot even ask the question. This shelf's introduction puts diameter first for exactly this reason.
Reach, at the price of exposure. A 38 mm (1.50 in) shackle passes through a thick hasp, a chain link or two staples that a short shackle will not span, which is what Master Lock means by application flexibility — and it is a real reason to buy this rather than a shrouded lock that will not fit. The cost is that this shelf's introduction names shackle exposure as one of three things that matter and calls a closed shackle the biggest available step up. The buying tip resolves it: match the padlock to the hasp. A hasp that needs 38 mm (1.50 in) needs 38 mm (1.50 in).
Because it does not belong to this product. Backset, cross bore and door thickness are the three measurements you take before fitting a deadbolt into a door — a padlock has no backset, no cross bore and goes through no door. The sentence has been copied from a door lock listing and left in place on a padlock page. Nothing else on the listing is affected by it, and it is worth noticing because the rest of this page is unusually precise: it is the only lock here that dimensions its own shackle.

| SEPOX Large outdoor combination padlock, 2.2 in, 4 big resettable digits, 2-pack | $19 | 55 mm (2.2 in) — stated, and the largest body on this shelf, where the others run 40 to 80 mm (1.57 to 3.15 in) with most at 40. A bigger body means bigger dials and more metal around the mechanism |
