Open Shackle padlocks in Swansea

Open shackle padlocks are generally intended for standard to medium security applications as the shackle of the padlock is exposed and is therefore vulnerable to cutting or chopping with bolt croppers. Even so, if the padlock is a large heavy duty type with a hardened steel shackle of more than 10mm then it will still be very secure.

Closed Shackle padlocks in Swansea

Closed shackle padlocks are generally intended for medium to high security applications as the shackle of the padlock is protected and is therefore not easy to cut or chop with bolt croppers. These would be available in different grades and sizes to suit application.

CEN Insurance grade padlocks in Swansea

Your insurance company may require that you need a specific type of padlock or one with a minimum security rating. This will vary from one insurance underwriter to another but they mostly follow the same basic set of requirements.

The industry standard for padlock testing. This is the European CEN grade. There are 6 levels within the grade ranging from general use to maximum security. CEN Level 6 padlocks are rare and have a price point of £100 or more. Anything between 3-5 for high security applications is typical.

  • GRADE 6 - Maximum Security
  • GRADE 5 - Extra High Security
  • GRADE 4 - High Security
  • GRADE 3 - Medium / High Security
  • GRADE 2 - Standard Security
  • GRADE 1 - Low Security

When padlocks are graded, they undergo a number of rigorous tests which simulate an attack. Human manipulation and environmental durability are not included within the tests:
