Strong laminated padlocks remain popular but smart variants are emerging.

The latest padlocks from China adopt traditional and new mechanisms to avoid being pried or broken easily.

Many padlocks are laminated or hardened. These types are said to withstand cracking with their plates and rivets held tightly.

Some models are also water-resistant and have protective bumpers to avoid scratches. For a clean metallic look, many are polished and nickel or zinc-plated.

Smart electronic rechargeable padlocks are also emerging. There are versions that do not need keys anymore. Bluetooth and apps are two new ways of unlocking these variants. One model in this gallery is a smart padlock that is compatible with Android and iOS devices, and connects within a 1.3m range.

The products in this gallery were selected by our Market Analysts for representing current trends in padlocks.
