Travel Locks
I recommend that any Tourist or Traveler carry at least 2 padlocks. I would guesstimate that 80 percent of travelers trust the hotel and use the lock provided.
REQUIREMENTS
- Made in either Germany, Switzerland, USA, England, Australia, New Zealand or any very modern country. Locks made in poor countries are not unique and there is a repeat of the same key pattern maybe every 10 keys.
Possible types to use... This is difficult and be wary, but the "Yale" padlock is considered a good design. There is a "Yale" design, and I believe a "Yale" brand, I am not sure if they are the same and the one or not?
PROBLEMS WITH PADLOCKS:
- The shank is too short to reach both sides of lock prong.
- Combination locks cannot be seen in the dark.
- The diameter of the shank is too think for some locks.
