One thing to do on an outside lock is to have some sort of a flap over it to protect from weather. Saw plenty of leather flaps over locks back in the day. Sometimes the old ways still work in today's world! Just my 2 cents.


I think a leather flap would have a higher Spousal Acceptance Factor than the piece of inner tube that others have mentioned on this thread. It may not last longer but I would.

No reason to get expensive locks. Battery operated cut off tool gets through the best and hardest in seconds. Locks only keep the honest folks honest. I have a set of 8 keyed alike Master locks. Just look through the locks on display and pick out ones with the same number. At Lowes I could have had 12 all the same.

You have to be able to get at them though. Our gates have a tab which goes into a piece of 4" pipe with another tab, and the lock fits up inside it. there's no way that you're going to get a cutoff tool up inside of it. Some clown decided to jamb one of our locks, and squirted locktite or some other substance up into the key hole. I had to cut it with a torch, and it was a bit of a challenge since I really couldn't see what I was doing.

I bought three of these last but they were a good $10.00 cheaper, talk about a price hike, MS40 Slide Bolt. The pros are no keys, the cons are they have to be put on just right and have minimal wood movement. Last year I put them on bare wood and the weather would shrink then expand, had to paint the door trim and re-drilled the receiver 2 sizes up, then lubed the dials before winter, after that they stay lined up and working.

Who needs cutoff tools for a lot of locks?

But if you've got a metal building a good battery operated grinder makes great doorways.

Amazon offers your choice of a one-pack, two-pack, three-pack, four-pack or five-pack.

One-pack is $34.32.
All the other sizes work out to $53.96 per lock.

I'd like five of the one-pack, please.

yep, the heavier they are the easier they open with a single hammer blow. They resist the inertia of the hammer better and the locking pawl moves internally.

Or you can use two wrenches:

that will work. that kind of lock is really stupid!. you can easily cut off the rivets with a pair of electricians wire cutters, then remove the cylinder, and use a screwdriver to open the lock. btw, combination locks are similarly stupid, with a pair of electricians wire cutters, you can unfold the crimp on the back of the lock, and open it!..
