A combination padlock is a widely used security device that relies on a pre-set numerical or alphanumeric sequence (the “combination”) to unlock, eliminating the need for physical keys—making it ideal for scenarios where key management is cumbersome, such as shared storage, public lockers, luggage, and outdoor equipment. This type of padlock balances security, convenience, and durability, with variations in size, material, and combination length to suit low-risk (e.g., backpacks) to medium-risk (e.g., warehouse storage) applications. Shanghai Kuntu Industrial Co., Ltd., a BSCI-certified factory with over 20 years of experience in lock manufacturing, produces combination padlocks using high-quality materials and precision engineering, ensuring they meet the diverse needs of residential, commercial, and public users worldwide. Public spaces and recreational facilities, such as gyms, swimming pools, and community centers, are major users of combination padlocks for public lockers. Consider a city-owned gym with 100 lockers for members to store clothes, towels, and personal items. Using key locks would require the gym to manage hundreds of keys (with frequent replacements for lost ones), but Shanghai Kuntu’s combination padlock simplifies this. Each locker is equipped with a 4-digit combination padlock—members can set their own combination when they arrive (using a simple dial system) and reset it when they leave, ensuring no one else can access their items. The padlock’s body is made from zinc alloy with a chrome-plated finish that resists rust and corrosion from sweat and moisture (common in gym environments), and the shackle is made from hardened steel (resisting cutting with small tools). The combination dial is large (2cm diameter) and has raised numbers for easy reading, even with wet hands. For gym staff, the padlocks include a master reset tool—if a member forgets their combination, staff can reset the lock quickly, avoiding delays. Shanghai Kuntu’s quality control process includes testing each padlock for durability: it is subjected to 5,000+ opening cycles to ensure the combination mechanism remains smooth, and the shackle is tested to withstand a 5kN pulling force (preventing forced entry). Industrial and warehouse settings use combination padlocks to secure storage cabinets, toolboxes, and equipment lockers. A manufacturing warehouse with 50 toolboxes (each storing expensive power tools like drills and saws) benefits from these padlocks. Each toolbox is assigned to a team of workers, who share a 4-digit combination—eliminating the need for each worker to carry a key. The padlock’s body is made from heavy-duty steel with a powder-coated finish that resists scratches and chemicals (e.g., oil, grease) common in warehouses, and the combination mechanism is sealed to prevent dust and debris from jamming it. The shackle is long enough (8cm) to fit around thick toolbox hasps, and the combination can be reset if a worker leaves the team—ensuring former employees cannot access the tools. For warehouse managers, the padlocks offer visibility: if a toolbox is left unlocked, the open shackle is easy to spot during safety checks, reducing theft risk. Residential users rely on combination padlocks for outdoor storage, luggage, and shared home items. A homeowner with an outdoor storage shed storing gardening tools and a bicycle, for example, uses Shanghai Kuntu’s combination padlock to secure the shed door. The padlock is weather-resistant (with a rust-resistant finish) and the combination (set to a family-specific sequence) is easy for all family members to remember but hard for strangers to guess. For travelers, the padlock is TSA-compliant—TSA agents can open it with a master key for luggage inspection, then relock it without damage.
