One additional tip I’d like to toss in: Reduce the number of different keys used as much as you can. For example, get all your padlocks “keyed alike” unless they’re of such different sizes as to make this impossible.
Absolutely agree, very good advice!
We bulk-bought padlocks which use the same key. Doesn’t help with the sundry metal bondage gear which comes with built-in-locks but is a brilliant simplification and safety measure for everything else. Should have done it years sooner than I did.
Cheers, Hywel
I bought three padlocks at the beginning of the year, and was able to special-order them to not only be keyed-alike, but to use the same key as the half-dozen smaller padlocks I already had.
Sometimes it’s technically possible for a locksmith to rekey a set of padlocks so that they’re all keyed alike.
And even for gear with built-in locks it may be worth asking about.
