Master Lock MLS3 Padlock Non-re-keyable Dual bumpers 1-9/16" 9/32" Steel

The Master Lock MLS3 is a non-re-keyable padlock with dual bumpers, 1-9/16 inch, steel, silver, keyed differently, 9/32 inch shackle diameter, 3/4 inch shackle clearance.

Keyed differently is the specification and it is the one that decides whether this lock suits the job. Every lock in a keyed-differently batch has its own unique key. That is what you want when locks go to different people, different sites, or different purposes — one lost key compromises one lock.

It is exactly what you do not want when one person needs to open twenty locks, which is what keyed alike is for. Ordering the wrong one produces either a keyring the size of a fist or a security arrangement that is not one.

The 3/4 inch shackle clearance is the number that determines whether the lock physically fits. Clearance is the opening between the shackle and the body — it has to pass through whatever it is securing. Three-quarters of an inch is short: enough for a hasp, not enough for a chain or a thick latch. Measuring before ordering saves a return.

Non-re-keyable means the cylinder cannot be changed. That is fine for most uses and a problem for a facility that wants to re-key rather than replace after a key goes missing.

Applications include tool boxes, lockers, gates, and general security.
