My latest order with "Nothing But Padlocks" was for a pair of keyed-alike "Extreme" padlocks. The padlocks themselves seem strong and robust and of good quality although - surprisingly - the shanks have the same diameter (8mm) as the 'lesser' "Expedition Weatherproof" model. I say "surprisingly" because of the price tag being more than double of the "Expedition" padlock. At such an extreme price of the "Extreme" padlock, I'd have expected the shank diameter to be a bit larger. My reasons for a 4-star (I almost dropped to 3-star) rating rather than a 5-star are: i. The shank diameter being no larger than the 'lesser' padlock (of less than half the price) I've purchased in the past. I later noticed there is another similar "Extreme" padlock called the "Closed-shackle Extreme", which is a little more expensive but not the same jump between the 'lesser' padlock and the "Extreme". If I'd seen this one beforehand, I'd have bought this instead. ii. The "Extreme" padlock being - in my opinion - considerably overpriced at a whopping £105.88 (incl shipping and VAT) for two padlocks. However, the counter-argument may undoubtedly be along the lines of: "Well, you bought at that price anyway... why?" Well, my answer is that I did want strong padlocks and decided to buy them knowing they're (in my opinion) overpriced. In other words... I was/am 'over-a-barrel'. If something is really needed, you 'bite-the-bullet and buy. Overall, it seems a very good company with excellent products. They respond to questions/queries very promptly and efficiently and are very helpful in their advice. I'll no doubt use them again.

Good afternoon, Thank you for taking the time to review our products and services. In response to your points, please may I place your mind at rest: i) The Expedition padlocks you refer too are simply a brass padlock with a plastic coating around the body. They have a softer stainless steel shackle with a plastic coating. While this does amass to 8mm, approximately 3mm of this is a soft plastic which will offer no protection against cutting, simply protection from the weather. ii) The Extreme range are a much larger, sturdier padlock with a 8mm shackle of hardened steel to make it tougher to cut through but also with a weatherproof coating to protect from the elements without compromising on security. These padlocks meet the CEN grade three which is recognised by insurance companies so you are getting solid protection and safety in the knowledge that if they are outside for a number of months, with or without use, that they will not cease up through corrosion and will open first time. This is why there is an difference in price between the Expedition and the Extreme padlocks. I hope this answers your queries and should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me on 0151 298 1943 or dan@padlocks.co.uk

Prompt service, but the address was not correct. This meant that the next day delivery failed, otherwise everything else was fine.

Bought some Abus combination padlocks: - really good; the only slight niggle was that we could only get a 3-tumbler lock on the website, whereas we really wanted a 4-tumblerlock as that is obviously better protected. All in all a good service though...!

Delivered promptly, although wasn't the brand as advertised due to an admin error on the website. This issue was dealt with quickly and efficiently. I am using the van lock to secure a garden shed following the shed being emptied overnight. (Along with bolting the door hinges, boarding up the shed window, and fitting a lock, bolt and barbed wire across the top of the garden gate.) A van lock is ideal for securing a garden shed door. Maybe two would be ideal, one at the top and one at the bottom of the door. I glued and screwed 4 by 2 wood to the door frame to give something solid to bolt the lock to.

Exactly as described and delivered very promptly. Only mild criticism is the pad-locks we ordered are a little difficult to close as the catch engages at the very end of closing pressure and it takes a little bit of getting used to..

Service and product excellent. My real disappointment is the lack of a discount...I bought the "same padlock, same key" product....probably 20+ sets over the last 18 months and I still have to pay the full price.....seems very harsh to a regular customer. Regards Terry Braithwaite

The order came promptly (next day), the padlocks, Locker combination (30mm) and Safety Padlock were well made and great for the purposes required. My only disappointment was that I ordered two Black Safety locks but received one black and one blue. This was unfortunate as I wanted the colours to match for a specific area.

They had the product I wanted and can deliver quickly. A miss-pick in the warehouse was quickly resolved with no fuss.

quick delivery, and quality locks. slightly expensive, but you get what you pay for and security shouldn't be cheap

Locked my marine engines. Hope they will be resistant to the harsh environment. Correct size. Glad I went for the larger ones. Time will tell how durable they are. Plastic keyhole cover will help.
