"These padlocks are adequate for commercial security and provide a required level for your insurance requirements. However, the weakest point is not the padlock but the item / door / chain that it is attached too."

"I don't think these locks are worth the money. It makes no sense to buy such an expensive padlock as it opens like many others."

"At the end of the day you get what you pay for.
Check with your insurance for the minimum required security rating for your padlock"

"These locks are good enough and insurance approved so would be fine. Being a locksmith makes you a sceptic as I can get into one of these in seconds but your usual criminal isn't a trained and practised locksmith.

If you make sure your lock is in good order, you have a high quality chain and fixings you shouldn't have any issues."
