What drives a padlock’s price?
- Size (body width): bigger bodies carry thicker shackles and cost more — roughly RM89 at 40 mm rising to about RM151 at 60 mm (single, sale).
- Key system: Single and Keyed-Alike are the base price; Master-Keyed adds RM9 per lock for the extra pinning; grand-master systems are quoted per site.
- Quantity: sets are priced per lock × quantity — a keyed-alike set of 6 is simply six locks that share one key, with no per-set premium.
- Long shackle: the long-shackle option adds a small surcharge — about RM5 at 40–50 mm, up to RM9 at 60 mm.
- Extra keys: additional keys are RM6 each at checkout.
How key systems change the price
Keyed-Alike (KA) costs the same as buying single locks — you pay for the locks, and one key opens them all at no premium. Master-Keyed (MK) adds RM9 per lock for the master pinning. So a set of five 50 mm locks is RM558 keyed-alike (5 × RM111.60) versus RM598.50 master-keyed (5 × RM119.70) at sale prices — you pay about RM40 more across the set for the master-key hierarchy. See the keyed-alike vs master-keyed guide to choose.
How much should you spend on a padlock in Malaysia?
Hardware-store padlocks at RM10–30 use plated carbon-steel shackles that rust and seize outdoors within a season or two, and most are not rekeyable, so a lost key means a new lock. A rekeyable heavy-duty lock with a 5-year warranty in the RM89–150 range is the sensible floor for anything you actually need to keep secure outdoors — a gate, shutter, store or container. If rust is the risk, prioritise a stainless anti-rust padlock; if bolt-cutter resistance is the risk, prioritise a heavy-duty model.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a good padlock cost in Malaysia?
A genuine rekeyable heavy-duty padlock with a 5-year warranty starts around RM88.92 (40 mm, single, sale) and rises with size and key system. Cheap RM10–30 hardware padlocks rust and are usually not rekeyable.
Is a keyed-alike set more expensive?
No — keyed-alike has no premium; a set is priced as the locks themselves, sharing one key. Only master-keying adds a cost (RM9 per lock).
Why are bigger padlocks more expensive?
A larger body carries a thicker, harder shackle and more material, which raises the price — from about RM89 at 40 mm to about RM151 at 60 mm (single, sale).
Do prices include a warranty?
Yes — every Vpass heavy-duty padlock carries a 5-year mechanical warranty rated to 200,000+ cycles, supported by MyLock.my’s locksmith network.
