The shackle is the part that gets cut, so it is the part to read · review
A shrouded body for fourteen dollars — on a page that names no material, no diameter and no mechanism.
The conclusion The shroud is the whole product, and it is not a small thing: this shelf's introduction above calls a shielded shackle the single biggest step up available in this family, and denying a bolt cutter its purchase beats resisting its force. Everything else on this page is absent — "hardened base metal" names no metal, there is no diameter, no body material, no cylinder detail, and one bullet in four is Amazon's boilerplate. Fourteen dollars for one lock that cannot be keyed alike.
No shackle diameter. No alloy. No body material. No cylinder detail.
Which is worth saying plainly.
Base metal means a metal that is not precious. Steel, zinc, brass and aluminum are all base metals, and they behave nothing like each other in a padlock.
This shelf’s introduction asks whether the shackle is hardened or boron alloy. This page says hardened and declines to say hardened what.
With the diameter missing too, the shackle specification here is one adjective.
And it is a real one.
A bolt cutter has to get its jaws around the shackle. A shrouded body denies it that purchase rather than resisting the force.
This shelf’s introduction calls that the single biggest step up available in this family.
A shielded lock in mediocre steel can be harder to cut than an exposed lock in good steel.
Three locks on this shelf shroud. This is the only one of the three that says nothing else.
Which is what the hardware-shop line means.
A locksmith can cut copies of the key you have. A locksmith cannot make a second lock accept it without re-pinning.
So this is one lock, three keys, and no path to a matched set.
Three locks on this shelf are sold keyed alike. One can be re-keyed on site in seconds with the tool in the box.
The international-products notice: sold from abroad, may differ in fit, age ratings and labeling.
One bullet of four, and it is not about the lock.
On sale at around $14 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

| Shrouding | Shrouded, stated in the title. It is one of three shielded designs on this shelf and this shelf's introduction calls a closed-shackle design the single biggest step up available in this family — which makes it the most valuable word on this page, and the only structural claim on it |
|---|---|
| Shackle | Hardened, stated. No diameter, no alloy and no length appears. Mindy describes the lock as professional grade hardened BASE METAL, which is not a material: base metal means any non-precious metal |
| Body | 40 mm (1.57 in), stated in the title. No material and no construction — not laminated, not die-cast, not brass |
| Weather | Stated rust and corrosion proof, ideal for indoor and outdoor use, with no material or coating named. This shelf's introduction asks for brass or stainless rather than plated steel, and this page names neither |
| Keys | Three keys on removable circle rings, stated. Mindy adds that if more keys alike are wanted you should go to Ace Hardware, Home Depot or a locksmith — which is an admission that the lock is not sold keyed alike and cannot be ordered that way |
| Supplied | A pack of one padlock and three keys, stated. Fourteen dollars for one lock, against about seven dollars a lock for the brass two-pack on this shelf |
| Cylinder | Not published. No pin count, no pick resistance claim, no mechanism |
| Diameter | Not published, as on at least six of the fourteen padlocks here |
| Copy | One of the four bullets is Amazon's international-products boilerplate: products are sold from abroad and may differ from local products including fit, age ratings and labeling. It is a quarter of the specification and it is not about the lock |

Nothing useful, and that is worth saying plainly. Base metal simply means a metal that is not precious — steel, zinc, brass and aluminum are all base metals, and they behave entirely differently in a padlock. This shelf's introduction asks whether the shackle is hardened or boron alloy; this page says hardened and then declines to say hardened what. Combined with the missing diameter, the shackle specification on this lock is one adjective. The shroud is the real claim here, and the shroud is a shape rather than a material.
Quite possibly, because of what it does mechanically. A bolt cutter needs to get its jaws around the shackle, and a shrouded body denies it that purchase rather than resisting the force — which this shelf's introduction calls the single biggest step up available in this family. A shielded lock in mediocre steel can be harder to cut than an exposed lock in good steel. Three locks on this shelf shroud: this one, the D-profile lock, and the round shielded combination lock. Of the three, this is the only one that says nothing else.
Not from Mindy, and the listing says as much in an unusual way: go to Ace Hardware, Home Depot or a locksmith if you need more keys alike. That means spare keys for this lock, not more locks on this key — a locksmith can cut copies of the key you have but cannot make a second lock accept it without re-pinning. If one key for several gates is the requirement, three locks on this shelf are sold keyed alike and one can be re-keyed on site in seconds with the tool in the box.

| Model | Price | Shackle | Body |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mindy 40 mm shrouded hardened keyed padlock, 3 keys | $14 | Hardened, stated. No diameter, no alloy and no length appears. Mindy describes the lock as professional grade hardened BASE METAL, which is not a material: base metal means any non-precious metal | 40 mm (1.57 in), stated in the title. No material and no construction — not laminated, not die-cast, not brass |
| SEPOX 40 mm all-weather solid brass padlock, keyed alike, 2-pack | $14 | Brass, stated: a durable brass body AND shackle resisting corrosion. That is the unusual half — most weatherproof padlocks pair a brass body with a steel shackle. Brass is softer than hardened steel, so this trades cut resistance for a lock that will still turn after a winter | Solid brass, 40 mm (1.57 in), with a chamfered edge — stated. This shelf's introduction asks for a brass or stainless body on a gate that faces weather rather than a plated steel one that will seize by spring, and this is the only solid brass body on this shelf |
| BRINKS 175-50054 4-dial resettable sports padlock, 40 mm | $13 | Zinc-plated hardened steel, stated for cut resistance. No diameter is published, as on at least six of the fourteen padlocks here | 40 mm (1.57 in) zinc die-cast. Die-cast zinc is the weaker of the two body constructions on this shelf — laminated steel resists a hammer better — and it is lighter and does not rust |
| NovLock NLCL004 | $10 | 7 mm (0.28 in) hardened steel | Solid zinc die-cast |
