Different Types of TN Locks

For all Lebanon residential and small commercial businesses in need of TN Security Services, contact Smart Home Protection Systems situated in Buck Run Court.

Different Types of TN Locks available are:
  • Key-retaining locks - Most padlocks are non-key retaining. With a key-retaining lock the key is not released until it is locked again. This lock is a good idea for areas where people might forget and leave the lock open;
  • Shrouded-Shackle Locks - Difficult to disable with bolt cutters as the shoulders rise up the sides of the shackle, leaving little space for the cutters. Most moon-shaped locks have shrouded shackles;
  • Rubber Cover or Plastic Casing - Protective covers to prevent locks from being dented or scratched, and provide added protection against the elements, thus prolonging its life;
  • Hardened-Steel Shackle - Minimises the chance of the lock being disabled with bolt cutters (unless they are using industrial-strength cutters);
  • Disc Locks - Exposes a limited amount of shackle which makes it extremely difficult to cut through the shackle with a normal pair of bolt cutters.

Choosing a TN padlock

Contact Smart Home Protection Systems situated on Buck Run Court for more in depth information regarding the choosing of a Lebanon TN padlock.

It is always good to keep the following tips in mind when choosing a TN padlock:
  • Always match the size and value of your lock with the value of the assets that you are trying to protect;
  • Will you use the padlock inside or outside;
  • What materials is the padlock made of and will it last wherever I want to use it? Solid brass is normally designed to weather well. Mild steel or iron is prone to rust when it is left outside. Stainless steel is strong as well as rust resistant;
  • How easy will the lock be broken when intruders force it open?
