Choosing The Right Replacement Padlock Keys

The most critical factor when selecting a replacement padlock key is ensuring compatibility with your existing padlock model. Check the manufacturer and model number stamped on your padlock body, as key blanks are manufacturer-specific and often model-specific. Master Lock padlocks, for example, require Master Lock branded key blanks with the correct profile.

Consider ordering multiple key blanks when available, particularly for frequently used padlocks or security-critical applications. This ensures you have spares available without delay should keys be lost or damaged. Remember that key blanks from MyToolShed.co.uk require professional cutting to match your specific lock – they cannot be used directly from the packet. Keep your original key safe during the cutting process, as it serves as the template for duplicates.

For high-security applications, verify that your padlock system allows for key duplication, as some restricted keyway systems may require authorisation or specialist services. Always purchase genuine branded key blanks rather than generic alternatives to ensure proper tolerances and reliable long-term operation.
