Under the term \u201cpadlock\u201d or \u201changing lock,\u201d one refers to a lock that is not permanently installed in a door but is instead attached by being hung into a shackle. Padlocks are commonly used on chests, boxes, as well as basement and attic doors.<\/p>\n
There are two main types of padlocks: those with a locking cylinder<\/strong> \u2013 meaning a key is required to open them \u2013 and those with a combination lock<\/strong>, which can only be opened using a specific multi-digit code. Among cylinder-based locks there are also special variants, such as the bolt lock<\/strong>, where the bolt is partially concealed so that it cannot easily be cut with a standard bolt cutter. The round disc lock<\/strong> works differently: the shackle is rotated inside the body in a circular segment, which also makes forced opening more difficult.<\/p>\n At Amper Ausfperrdienst in Munich, we can offer you padlocks in all sizes and for a wide range of applications. As part of a security concept for your property, a padlock can be useful, for example, on a basement window \u2013 we are happy to advise you in detail. Our padlocks are branded products, and you are guaranteed the option to reorder a lost key even years later. If a padlock is used outdoors, it is important to ensure it is protected against rust. For this purpose, there are special solutions such as protective covers that shield the locking cylinder from weather exposure.<\/p>\n We should not forget a special form of the padlock: the love lock<\/strong>. Attaching a padlock with a date and engraved initials of lovers to a bridge railing is a tradition believed to have originated in Italy. After placing the lock to symbolize eternal love, couples throw the key into the river. This tradition has been adopted in many countries \u2013 much to the dismay of some city administrations. In the summer of 2014, the railing of the famous Pont des Arts<\/em> in Paris could no longer bear the weight of 93 tons of love locks and collapsed. The city of Paris has since considered banning the practice altogether.<\/p>\n Let Amper Ausfperrdienst in Munich advise you in detail on padlocks. We will find the right solution for every application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Under the term \u201cpadlock\u201d or \u201changing lock,\u201d one refers to a lock that is not permanently installed in a door but is instead attached by being hung into a shackle.
