Choosing a security padlock gets easier with CEN-grade padlocks. The Central European Norm system rates locks from 1 to 6, so you can match protection to what you're securing.
Understanding the CEN Grade Scale
The grade tells you what a padlock's built to handle:
-
Grades 1 and 2: lockers and toolboxes
-
Grades 3 and 4: sheds, garages and storage units
-
Grades 5 and 6: containers, commercial sites and insurance-approved uses
Choosing the Right CEN Grade Padlock
Think about the value of what you're protecting, where the padlock sits, what your insurer expects and how often you need access stuck between two grades? Go higher. It's cheaper than upgrading later after a theft.

CEN grade 6 padlocks are the highest rated on the European scale. They're built for demanding uses such as shipping containers, commercial sites and insurance-approved applications.
What are CEN grade 3 padlocks suitable for?
CEN grade 3 padlocks are suited to medium-security tasks such as sheds, garages, and storage units. They give reliable everyday protection at a sensible price.
Is a CEN-grade padlock insurance-approved?
A CEN-grade padlock is often accepted by insurers, particularly those rated grade 4 or above. Always check your policy to confirm what's needed.
Are higher CEN grades worth the extra cost?
Higher CEN grades are usually worth it when valuable items are at stake. Paying a bit more up front beats replacing a lock after a theft.
