What lock would be hardest to break. Someone recommended a hidden shackle padlock but I don't know if it would be compatible with a 1/4" or 3/8" chain.

Any advice much appreciated...Thanks, Tree


This guy knows a thing or two about locks wink




Pretty sure I've used one of those locks down in the bottom right of the video you posted. If not it looks very similar to ones I've used in the past.
