hmmm... you know, I wonder if a wrench/bolt would make a more reliably un-do-able lock than a regular padlock and key?
I'm always terrified the keyhole will end up somewhere I can't get the key lined up to go in. It seems like a fiddly, iffy act.
If you arranged things so getting out involved removing a nut, you'd need the wrench. Of course you also need wrench to tighten it, so you'll have to have a separate 'tightening' wrench you toss into a corner.
I'm also wondering about different kind of padlocks.
I used to have a magnetic padlock. The key was a little wand, about the size and shape of 'chiclets' gum, you put it on the side of the lock, the hasp opened.
LOL - looked one up on amazon just to make sure of my memory. The one I found has this great ad copy:
Also was amused that the 'people who bought this often also buy' offerings made it pretty clear most people were NOT buying it to keep their garden tools from being stolen.
Thoughts on alternatives to padlocks? Kinds of padlocks? The problem of getting the key in the hole?

- Fun alternative to standard padlocks. Easier to use than keyed or combination padlocks
