Rolson Padlocks, Door Locks and Key Safes for UK Homes
Every lock in this collection is genuine Rolson Tools UK stock, which makes it a straightforward place to buy Rolson padlocks and door locks without wading through unbranded imports. The range runs from 20mm luggage and locker padlocks up to 90mm shutter padlocks, and covers iron, laminated steel and solid steel bodies, closed shackle designs, disc padlocks, combination locks, a wall mounted key safe, a ground and wall chain anchor, and dedicated door hardware such as swing bar locks and heavy duty garage door locks. Prices sit at the practical end of the market, so kitting out a shed, garage, allotment store and set of gates does not need a trade budget.
Padlock Sizes and Body Types Explained
Body width is the number quoted on every padlock, measured across the widest part of the body. As a rule of thumb, 20mm to 30mm suits luggage, lockers and toolboxes, 40mm to 50mm suits sheds, side gates and garden stores, and 60mm to 90mm suits garages, shutters and yard gates. Material matters as much as size. Iron padlocks are the value option for low risk indoor use, laminated steel stacks hardened plates for better resistance to prying, and solid steel gives the strongest body for outdoor exposure. Long shackle versions clear thicker hasps and chain links, while closed shackle designs hide the shackle from bolt croppers and are the sensible choice for anything storing power tools or bicycles.
Door Locks, Chain Anchors and Key Safes
The door hardware here is aimed at retrofit security rather than replacing a whole lock case. Security chain door locks and swing bar locks let you open a front door a few inches to identify a caller, and both fit with basic hand tools in under half an hour. The heavy duty garage door lock adds a visible deterrent to up and over doors, which are a common weak point on UK homes. A ground or wall chain anchor bolts into concrete or brick and gives you a fixed point to chain a bike, mower or trailer, and the wall mounted key safe solves the perennial problem of leaving a spare key for carers, cleaners or family.
Combination Padlocks and Alarm Padlocks
Combination padlocks remove the lost key problem entirely, which is why they suit shared gates, gym lockers and family sheds. The range includes three and four digit combination padlocks, a five digit combination lock, a combination slide bolt and a TSA approved travel padlock that airport security can open without cutting. The 100dB alarm padlock adds an audible siren if the body is disturbed, a useful upgrade on remote outbuildings where nobody is nearby to notice a quiet attack. Store the keys and spares tidily in a small storage box, and pick up cable ties and hooks from fixings and adhesives when you mount everything.
