Stanley Hardware S828-160 CD8820 Shrouded Hardened Steel Padlock. Following my blog post on lock picking and lock bumping, some readers asked what I would recommend for a general use padlock. Perhaps the best general use padlock that you can pick up at your local hardware store or order from Amazon is the Stanley CD8820.
The padlock's strong points are:
- Shrouded shackle
- Made of molybdenum alloy steel
- Removable core
- Anti-pick pins
- Anti-drill plate
- 6 pins
- Price <$50
For a general use padlock, the Stanley CD8820 is a reasonable choice.
Bosnian Bill has a YouTube video about this lock, and discusses some upgrades to the lock.
Lock Picking Lawyer shows how to defeat this lock using a Ramset in his own YouTube video.
If you’re searching for something in the $20 range, the Stanley CD8823 padlock has everything the CD8820 has except a different body. Instead of a hardened steel body it has a laminated steel body with hardened steel end caps and recessed rivets.
