Product Testing

Explore five testing methods and the reported results for each order reference.

01 / Test method

Corrosion Resistance Testing

Products undergo a continuous 48-hour salt spray test to evaluate corrosion resistance. After testing, surfaces and mechanical operation are inspected for signs of degradation.

02 / Test method

Environmental Testing

Padlocks are tested in a high-low temperature cycling chamber. The table below lists the reported range by order reference, from −55°C to either +55°C or +80°C. A 24-hour multi-cycle test evaluates operation under temperature changes.

03 / Test method

Drop Testing

Padlocks are dropped more than 10 times from a height of 1.5 meters onto a steel plate to simulate field impacts. Tensile, compression, and bending tests are also used to assess structural strength.

04 / Test method

UV & Climatic Testing

Weatherometer testing simulates exposure to sunlight, moisture, and heat. Accelerated weathering is used to assess whether the padlock shell resists fading, cracking, and chalking.

05 / Test method

Padlock Lifetime Testing

An automated key-cycling system repeats insertion, rotation, and extraction to evaluate wear and mechanical lifespan. Reported cycle results, where available, are listed below.
