Sesamee Padlocks: Reusable Padlocks for Commercial and Industrial Security
When it comes to securing equipment and locking up valuable items, padlocks are an easy and effective tool to keep on hand. Every padlock consists of a U-shaped metal shackle that locks into a locking mechanism and secures an item shut.
Convenient, unbelievably strong, and reinforced to withstand the harshest conditions, the Sesamee padlock is an iconic piece of hardware that you have likely used before–maybe without even knowing it.
These locks come in a wide range of variations to fit any project’s needs. Don’t forget to consider all applicable factors when choosing a padlock, such as locking mechanism, durability, environment, and size.
What Are Padlocks Used For?
The applications of Eberhard’s Sesamee padlocks are truly endless. You can trust these versatile padlocks to secure everything from a kitchen cabinet to harsh marine environments. A Sesamee padlock can be reused time and time again for a vast range of applications, including:
- Commercial/Industrial Applications: Equipment, warehouses, shipping freight containers
- Heavy Duty Storage: Securing cable boxes, tool chests, utility meters, job boxes, etc.
- Marine Applications: Choose a weatherproof Sesamee padlock designed to withstand the corrosive conditions of commercial and motor boats, anglers, and more
- Automotive: Vans, commercial and work trucks, and recreational vehicles
- Security/Restricting Access: Residential and industrial gates and doors
What Makes a Quality Padlock?
The cornerstone of a quality padlock is a robust design designed to withhold immense force. Here are some properties to look for in a quality padlock:
Reliability and Robustness
Choose a padlock made by a supplier known for their quality and robust design. A strong padlock will be made with high-quality materials, like brass or hardened steel. Avoid padlocks made with lightweight alloys like iron. For instance, try the Combination Padlock 1" Shackle 436, made with hardened steel and an all brass internal locking mechanism.
Shackle
The shackle is a specific part of the padlock that needs to be examined when thinking about durability. The shackle is what secures the item at hand, so the thicker it is, the harder it is to cut—and the more secure it is. Look for a shackle made with sturdy material, such as hardened steel.
Weatherproof
It is vital to select a padlock that will withstand the environmental conditions you are using it in. For outdoor use, choose a padlock made with anticorrosive and waterproof material, like rustproof stainless steel. Also review whether the padlock is designed to withstand harsh conditions like salt water, freezing temperatures, and rain.
Security/Opening Methods
A quality padlock will have a complex locking mechanism that is difficult to break into. Sesame padlocks have a four-wheel design with 10,000 possible combinations for enhanced security.
How Do You Choose a Padlock?
Selecting the proper padlock for your job is an important task with several variables at play. Let’s check out the factors to consider when choosing a padlock:
Environmental Factors
To ensure the long term effectiveness and safety of your project, it is vital to consider the environmental conditions your padlock will be exposed to. Different padlocks offer different properties that are suited for different environments. Marine padlocks, for example, are specifically designed to withstand harsh conditions such as salt water, rain, etc. Especially for outdoor use, consider the elements your padlock will be exposed to, such as extreme heat or cold. Look for weather-resistant materials such as rust proof stainless steel.
Materials
There is no reason to waste money on a padlock made with low quality materials. Keep a look out for padlocks made with robust materials, such as hardened steel or brass.
Supplier Reputation/Reliability
Never settle for a mediocre padlock manufacturer. Look for companies with stellar reviews when it comes to padlock quality, robustness, convenience, and reliability.
Opening Mechanism
Are you looking for a combination padlock or keyed padlock? Combination locks are ideal when multiple need access to the secured item, or if you frequently lose your key. However, keyed padlocks can be more secure because there is no risk of someone cracking the combination code.
Warranty
Look for a padlock that is guaranteed by the company’s warranty. This means the manufacturer stands by their product and its reliability.
