Moved house and got a metal locker in the garden. Anyone know if Kasp padlocks are any good? Want to boost the security a bit!

looking at these on Amazon:

the abus ones seem to be quite cheap - are they honestly decent? 😕

have seen that the decent abus ones are more than i thought, though other forums seem to suggest that they're not much cop. abloy and squire seem to get good recommendations?

I've got one of those that Ton has but the chain wouldn't fit, so I got the Kasp.

how about this one ton - http://www.toolbox.co.uk/henry-squire-hsqaswl2ka-3729-94284?utm_source=GoogleBase&utm_medium=GB&utm_campaign=GoogleBase

is it similar to yours? looks quite good value.

As squire are what [url= http://www.almax-security-chains.co.uk/3sgrnf203695/All-Products/c-6-73/ ]Almax[/url] & [url= http://www.torc-anchors.com/products.php?cat=8 ]Pragmasis[/url] sell with their chains, I'd say they had a decent reputation

is it worth shelling out for the uber-expensive ones? how hard [i]are[/i] £40 to break compared to £90? 😕

I recommend spending as much as possible, the squire SS65CS is 'only' £70-ish from Almax/Pragmasis and comes with a 10 year warrenty & a closed shackle to better protect the padlock
(also depends on the chain you buy as some padlocks simply won't fit a 16mm chain).
