Padlocks for Boats & Harsh Weather

If you live within 30 miles of the sea, you should definitely consider a marine-grade padlock. And even if you don't, it can travel much further than this and still cause excessive corrosion.

Salt-spray travels far and wide, and as a rule of thumb, if you live within 30 miles of the coast, you're technically getting the harsh beating of salt-spray from the sea water, which will corrode metal 5 times faster than freshwater.  This salt-spray can travel even further than this, depending on your location and what the weather's doing on any given day. 

So with over 11,000 miles of coastline around the UK - although very beautiful - this does mean in the UK we suffer excessive corrosion of metals used externally. 

This is why it's important to consider a marine-grade padlock for these harsh environments if you can.  Whilst previously marine-grade padlocks were somewhat cost-prohibitive for some budgets, the introduction of the new Kasp range means you can have a marine padlock on a budget, giving you more for less.

Please note, we cannot guarantee the suitability of these padlocks for your specific application.  These padlocks are listed as being a typically suitable style of padlock only.  Measurements and specifications should be checked thoroughly to ensure suitability for your application.
