If you work in the construction industry, theft is one of your biggest concerns, as this problem affects construction sites on a regular basis. It is therefore essential to adapt your security plans and implement new tactics to ensure that your site is safe from thieves. 

A high percentage of burglaries go unsolved which means without the correct security in place the chance of getting your property back is very slim. 

Utilising high-security padlocks is a smart way of improving site security.

Types of padlocks

At Tiger Supplies, we offer different types of padlocks, including:

• Standard
• Long shackle
• Laminated
• Shrouded
• Combination
• Armoured bolt

Material

Our padlocks have been built to resist the toughest of attacks and to work reliably in the harshest outdoor environments.

They have been made from the following materials:

• Solid brass: Padlocks are more durable than plastic but are not as tamper-resistant as heavier steel padlocks. However, they do hold up to the elements and are often used as inexpensive, weather-resistant light security locks.
  
  
• Stainless steel: Like solid steel locks, these are very durable locks but stainless steel generally holds up to the elements better than solid steel.
  
  
• Titanium: Extremely durable metal that resists corrosion and is lightweight in comparison to solid steel and stainless steel. Titanium padlocks are typically used in higher security applications.
  
•  Solid steel / Case hardened steel:  Padlocks made from this material are very durable and cut-resistant. These types of locks are typically used in higher security applications and are often chrome and zinc plated to help resist corrosion.

Padlock CEN Grades

CEN stands for Central European Norm and the CEN grade for padlocks is the classification of padlocks according to quality and security testing standards.

A padlock's CEN grade gives you a sense of how secure it is, so you can be confident before you buy it.

CEN Grade 6 padlocks offer maximum security and CEN Grade 1 padlocks offer minimum security.

Tiger Supplies’ range of Padlocks

You will find top-quality locks from the most reputable brands, such as Squire, Hilka, and Silverline.

We recommend the Squire Stronghold Solid Steel Closed Shackle Padlock as it provides excellent protection in high-risk areas.  This product has a high-cutting resistance thanks to its solid hardened steel closed shackle. With a level 4 on the European CEN locks standard, this lock offers ten years of protection and is weather resistant.

Another great choice is Silverline’s Close Armoured Shutter Lock Padlock. It features a close shackle hardened steel armoured cover over a steel body and brass cylinder. Its hardened steel rotating shackle prevents cutting with any type of saw. This design also has an  anti-drill cylinder with a ball-bearing locking mechanism.
