Which is more secure: combination lock or padlock? |
Travel Info If putting a small/medium sized lock (say, 3cm/1.25 inch) on a locker, is a padlock or a combination lock more secure? Presuming they are the same price. Travel Tips about the same. Quality locks can be found of both kinds. Anyone with serious theft in mind will just cut the lock off, not figure out the combo or pick the key hole. I like the combo better because I do not have to worry about losing a key while traveling. It is easy to pick a combo number that I will not forget/ Others Padlock, for sure. When our son was in high school, his locker, locked with a combination lock as ordered by the school, was broken into several times, sometimes vandalized, sometimes to steal. Security had suspicions but no proof about who was doing it. The security people were good guys, sympathetic to a loner being victimized. One day they found an unassigned locker closed with a combination lock--strictly forbidden--and asked my son if he wanted to see how the culprit was getting into his locker. He did. The female security guard--not the big strong one--whacked the combination lock with her shoe and it popped open, broken. After that, with the school's permission, our son used a stacked-steel padlock which opened with a key. Nobody ever got into his locker again. I WOULD GO WITH THE COMBINATION LOCK,TO ME IT'S MORE SECURE THAN A PADLOCK,WHICH CAN BE CUT. [SHARLOTTE67] |
