It is a simple fact that air and water do not mix well with many metals. Corrosive processes are accelerated metal surfaces become pitted and discoloured. Not only does this have an aesthetic effect, it also risks the security of the fitting. One problem is that the damp air works its way into the inner parts of the padlock shackle. As these parts corrode, they lose the ability to move. This leads to parts seizing up or jamming. Alternatively, metal parts can become brittle and vulnerable to impacts. A brittle lock can be easily broken by dropping on a concrete floor or with a sharp blow at the hands of unwanted visitors. Having the wrong type of lock can prove costly and risk your security.

This is why you should always choose a security option that is appropriate to the environment in which it is used. A marine padlock provides the combination of security and resilience to keep functioning even in harsh conditions. They are designed to resist the corrosive force of damp, moisture laden air and saltwater conditions. They retain a high level of security without jamming, cracking or becoming brittle and easy to break open.

Waterproof marine locks are essential for any maritime or water based location. Whether you have a gate to a dock, a storage shed for marine equipment or a garage door in a coastal area,  waterproof locks are the best choice. They are also well suited to locations which are exposed to the elements, such as in open areas or on outdoor fittings that are exposed to the rain and wind.

As well as individual locks, Loktonic supply marine padlocks keyed alike are the solution if you have a larger building or site to secure. Locks that are keyed alike have matching keys. This allows you to have one type of key which is used for two or more locks. This is a good choice if you have multiple gates or lockers but do not wish to have many keys to manage. It is also a good choice if you have employees or team members as you can reduce your costs on key cutting.
