your padlock cost you $x to buy but how secure is it

Apologies for being frank but if you buy and use a padlock that costs you under $30 you may as well hang up a sign up saying

please steal this

A padlock costing between $70 - $120 offers some protection for the asset the padlock is protecting but sad to say, not much protection.

the fact is

You need to spend a minimum of $150 to buy a mid-range padlock and of course like all security products the price does dictate quality and security rating.

note

Although a bit more difficult to break a $150 plus range of padlocks they can also be broken by

leverage attack
hammer attack
bolt cutter attack

or be proactive

Purchase Padlock Guard for less than the cost of a mid-range padlock to protect the padlock you already own.

if you make that decision

It does not matter how little or how much you paid for your padlock, protecting the padlock with Padlock Guard stops it being broken by every method opportunistic, smash and grab and semi professional thieves use to break a padlock.

they cannot break it
