Henry Squire WS75S Stronghold 6 Pin S Cylinder Container Block Lock, 80 mm (Length)

I recently bought one of these for my scooter, partially because the insurance company mentioned it in their application form and partially because the padlock that came with my chain was really unimpressive. Mine is the 55mm model, which is big enough for a single loop of chain, as in the picture. I can't rate its effectiveness because after two months no-one seems to have had a go at it. My hunch is that it's not impregnable, but you can mitigate that by parking next to a scooter that has a cheaper-looking lock - on the "I don't have to outrun the bear, I only have to outrun you" principle. The little instruction sheet says it's a CEN 4 lock. It came with two keys; replacements are about £20. The weatherproof flap at the bottom works, but after a downpour the lock does retain water, so it's a good idea to shake it out when you unlock it. It holds the key in place until you close the lock, which threw me at first but I suppose it stops the key falling out when you're fiddling with a chain. And it's rubberised, so I don't worry too much about it scratching the contents of my scooter's storage bin. Which is nice.

Honestly, I think these are the best padlocks you can possibly buy. I was not kind to my last one. I didn't oil it, which you are meant to and it lasted 20 years outdoor use without any problems. I am sure if I had looked after it, it would have gone on and on. I love it that they have boron steel shackles. This stuff is really really difficult to cut so much more attack resistant than other locks. And made in Britain. Brilliant locks, can't recommend highly enough.

Purchased this as an extra layer of protection for an outdoor container. The build quality of the lock itself is first class, it's sturdy, looks the part and looks like it'd be tricky to break. No issues with rain and jamming up, plus the key slot has a protective cover. The lock is quite heavy despite being small in size but this can't be a bad thing!

Looked around for a decent lock for a shipping container. The firm we bought it from recommended this lock and could supply one if needed. Shopped around and Amazon was the best price I could find at the time. Does the job and seems decent quality. The keys are just normal type so don't strike me as very high security but once the lock is in a lock box can see it being very difficult to get at and remove. Expensive compared to lot of the other locks out there but gives peace of mind if its insurance rated and has a boron shackle.

Oh this thing is a beast. Comes very well greased and also the email support from the manufacturer is excellent. Just give it some love every now and then and it'll last decades. The barrel is replaceable as well which is handy as this is the part most likely to fail in time with general use. The only thing I'd say is it would be nice if there was a cover for the key hole but you can easily put some tape over that if you're in an environment that warrants it. It will take a 19mm chain. I would definitely buy this thing again. And yes, an angle grinder will take it out. The difference is that this is unlikely to be cropped by hand tools. This means they must make a lot of noise to get through it. What you're looking for with security is to add time, noise and inconvenience to the thief. This increases the risk and you want them to look at your security and decide that the risk is not worth the gain. If you therefore have a high value motorcycle then the gain is huge and they'll go all out and prepare and nothing will stop them - they'll be in with powertools and have it gone in a van. If you're doing this for a mediocre bike (like mine!) then they're just going to look at it and go elsewhere as there will be easier pickings. Combine this with a decent chain (remember you've spent a few grand on a bike so a couple of hundred to stop it going walkies is relatively small change - if you cheap out on the chain you'll lose the bike easily, I know, I've done it) and some variety of noisy thing (my preference is an alarmed disc lock as the bloody thing wails like mad and also smashing one off to wheel the bike away is noisy and damages the bike they want to later sell) and you'll make it so difficult to steal that they'll just move on to softer targets.

I bought this lock knowing that the Squire product is a leading brand. I'm using this lock to secure my garage and as of now i have not had a break in or attempted break in to my garage. The lock itself is very heavy and feels very solid indeed. The locking mechanism ensures that you can only remove the key once the lock is locked so there is no chance you could think you have actually locked it when actually you have not , a great feature in my eyes. The only downside about this lock is that the tumber started to rust after about 8 months (i used WD40 to lubricate it. I have since found out that it is best to use a dry graphite powder to lubricate locks rather than use a liquid) . These locks are guaranteed for 10 years so i returned the lock to the manufacturer and they quickly replaced the tumbler and it now works as good as new. I would definately recommend this product.

Lock's great - very sturdy - but key seems to be made of some very soft metal. I sat on my keys once and turned the key into a banana - never managed to get it fully straightened out again because it's so malleable. Might seem a silly thing to worry about, but renders the lock half useless.

This is an excellent padlock, much cheaper on Amazon than the shops. Very pleased.

Plus solide tu meurs , ne perdez jamais les clefs , vous ne pourrez pas le coupez

The lock is great. I ordered two locks. One went missing because the package ripped apart. Refund experience was painful since Amazon wanted back a product that I never received.

Super strong. It is heavy and works perfectly

In effetti si presenta massiccio e solido, peccato che poi la versione base, quella venduta qui, monta di serie una serratura che non è minimamente all'altezza del prodotto, cercando dei filmat nel webi si nota che la serratura viene aperta in pochi secondi e senza il minimo sforzo. Non riesco proprio a capire perché mettere una serratura così scadente in un prodotto di fascia altissima, sia di prezzo sia di costruzione, reso immediatamente e senza esitazione. Se devo avere un lucchetto scadente ne trovo a volontà sulla fascia 20-30 euro. Al tempo in cui ho acquistato questo lucchetto il prezzo era di circa 180 euro. Sostituito con uno acquistato presso una ferramenta a 50 euro tipo quelli Delle serrande dei negozi. Per avere questo lucchetto con una buona serratura bisogna cercare la versione nw4. Ovvio che riescono ad aprire anche quella ma con più impegno e destrezza. Sconsiglio questo prodotto con la serratura base.
