Padlocks & Door Locks: Practical Home Security from Klevaro UK

Klevaro stocks a thorough range of padlocks and door locks for UK homes, sheds, gates, garages and workshops. The collection covers brass and weatherproof padlocks, combination locks, deadlock cylinders, hasps and staples, hardened security chains, and the small fixings that hold it all together. We carry Rolson Tools UK alongside other dependable security brands, focusing on the sizes and ratings UK shoppers actually need rather than over-specified industrial kit. Most padlocks here use brass, hardened steel or laminated bodies designed for outdoor British weather, with shackle widths from 30mm for lockers up to 70mm for heavy gates. Pair this collection with our general tools for fitting, and our lighting and electrical range for outdoor security lighting.

Padlocks for Outbuildings, Gates and Garden Stores

Outdoor padlocks are the most common buy in this category. For sheds, side gates and garden stores, look for a brass or laminated steel body with a hardened steel shackle, ideally rated to CEN grade 3 or above. Closed-shackle padlocks shield the shackle from bolt cutters, which suits anything storing tools, bikes or fuel. Combination padlocks remove the lost-key risk and suit shared family use, but resettable models give better long-term flexibility than fixed-code versions. For storing your locked-up tools afterwards, see storage and handling.

Door Locks, Cylinders and Replacement Parts

For internal and front-door work, the collection covers Euro-profile cylinders, mortice deadlocks and night latches in common UK sizes. When replacing a cylinder, measure from the central screw hole outward to each face of the door, and pick a length that sits flush (extra millimetres invite snapping). Anti-snap, anti-bump and anti-pick features matter most on front doors and side entrances. Insurance-graded BS 3621 mortice locks remain the right choice for traditional timber doors. For the bits and bolts to fit any lock cleanly, check our fixings and adhesives range.

Combination, Key and Smart Lock Choices

Combination locks suit places where keys go missing: school lockers, gym bags, gate latches and tool chests. Travel sentry models also accept TSA inspection on flights without forcing the locking mechanism. Key padlocks remain the simplest and most weather-tolerant option for sheds and outbuildings, since there is no battery to die or dial to seize. As a quick rule, keep a single weatherproof padlock at every external lock-up point, then standardise sizes so a small set of spare keys covers the lot. For valuable tool kit, layer security: a closed-shackle padlock, a ground anchor and motion-sensor outdoor lighting deter most opportunists, and an alarmed disc lock or chain adds a useful extra second of friction. Keep a record of serial numbers and a spare key in a separate location, since a single lost keyring should never lock you out of your own outbuildings.
