Are long shackle padlocks weatherproof?
Many long shackle padlocks are weatherproof. Look for sealed bodies, hardened-steel shackles, and corrosion-resistant finishes if you need one for outdoor use.
What is the standard length of a padlock long shackle?
A padlock with a long shackle is usually 1.5 or 2.5 inches tall. The 2.5-inch is most popular for general outdoor use, with smaller sizes suiting tighter spots.
