Secure Moving and Storage Locks

Security of the belongings during moving or storage is of utmost importance for everyone and a certain level of security could be reached by simply choosing the correct locks. To pick the best lock is dependent on what is the lock being used for. The disc locks work very well for locking the storage rooms, moving trucks and PUD style storage units. Most people in the self-storage business recommend disc locks over padlocks. That does not necessarily eliminate the importance of the padlocks in securing the content of moving trucks, storage units or sheds. All thieves are opportunistic looking for a quick break in and having a lock on the doors is a preventive tool to discourage break-ins.

The main reason is the style of the shackle in the disc locks. The protective shackle eliminates the use of the ordinary bolt-cutters to break these disc locks.  It is important to realize the fact that all ordinary padlocks and disc locks are designed to act as deterrents. While most locks are vulnerable to be picked by professional thieves not having them is an open invitation to everyone to help themselves with your valuables. Also, even the professional pickers would move to the inferior quality locks when they see the more difficult to lock to pick.
