Best outdoor padlock (reliable in all weathers)

It’s on the inside of a gate rather than the outside of a shed though. I need to see if they fit. The current one does appear to be fooked

Would a mortice lock fit - that's what we have on our gate.

It’s a new gate, I’m not looking to replace anything other than the padlock

No worries, depending on the config of the gate it might have been an elegant (low cost & secure) option.

I bought some Abus Titalium keyed alike locks from these people, they seem good but only been using them for a few months but no problems so far.

Depending how much you want to spend,I've found these ok.Had a couple outside locking things up,ladders etc and seem ok still.

Got one of these from Wickes as it was easy.
Thanks for the suggestion

If it gives you any trouble then get a Squire Old English padlock. They're about as weather-proof as you can get.

We've got one of these in Cornwall. It's on a shed that is ten yards from the sea and it gets a lot of foul weather all year round. I just give it a squirt of WD40 every few months and it's never seized up on me.

Which reminds me,was delivering mail in a affluent area the other day.By the seafront so open to the elements.I noticed a key in the door of a house.I knock on "only the postman,you've left your keys in the door "
Thanks I know,it stops the sand getting in the lock !"
How the other half live 😁

I have a cheap and cheerful padlock on the shed, it has nothing of real value in it. The padlock is fine because it gets oiled regularly and occasionally greased. The thing exudes black goo on the unwary but there is no space for rain to get in, so it has lasted for years.

This is what I use, I've had two in use for over five years with just the odd squirt of Teflon lube.

Master locks are generally pretty crap. Granted if someone what's to get in they will, but why make it easy for them with a 4 pin lock

I'd recommend checking this chaps channel before purchasing any lock.
