Gate, Shed, and Storage Security
Padlocks provide flexible security for exterior gates, backyard sheds, shipping containers, storage units, and commercial utility panels. However, not all padlocks are created equal. Buying a cheap padlock from a dollar store provides zero actual security against bolt cutters or weather corrosion.
iProtect Locksmith provides professional padlock removal and supplies high-security padlock solutions tailored to your specific application.
Padlock Services
- Emergency Removal: Safely cutting or picking locks off storage units, lockers, or gates when the keys are lost or the lock has rusted solid.
- Hasp Installation: The padlock is only as strong as what it attaches to. We install heavy-duty steel hasps and secure them with carriage bolts so they cannot be unscrewed.
- Weather-Resistant Upgrades: Supplying marine-grade padlocks designed to withstand brutal Canadian winters, rain, and road salt without seizing.
- Key Control Integration: Supplying commercial padlocks that can be integrated directly into your building’s existing master key system.
Match the Lock to the Use
Tell us what you are trying to secure. A gym locker requires a different solution than a remote commercial shipping container. We can recommend hardware based on whether the padlock is for minor convenience, heavy weather exposure, or high-risk remote storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
I lost the key to my storage unit padlock. Can you cut it off?
Yes, we can safely remove the padlock using heavy-duty bolt cutters, an angle grinder, or lock picking depending on the grade of the lock and the location. We require proof that you own or rent the unit.
Can a padlock be rekeyed so I don't have to carry a separate key?
Yes! If you purchase a 'rekeyable' padlock (like certain Schlage, Abus, or American Lock models), we can change the internal cylinder so the padlock opens with the exact same key you use for your front door.
What is a shrouded shackle padlock?
A shrouded padlock features a raised metal body that covers the sides of the U-shaped shackle. This prevents a burglar from getting bolt cutters around the shackle, making it drastically more secure for gates and sheds.
