A controversial subject like keyless padlocks inspires strong feelings in a great many people, on both sides, for and against. Such subjects often inspire such heat and fervent advocacy that it’s hard to get past the emotion to the facts, but nevertheless, using dispassionate logical analysis is preferred. Better to examine the position calmly and reasonably rather than venting spleens in emotional interchanges over positions. Let’s examine keyless padlocks and the positions on both sides, the Pros and the Cons:
Ready? Then let’s start. First the Pro, in favor of/in support of:
The very first point in support of keyless padlocks will be the fact that by definition you don’t need a key to open them.
The second point in favor can be that as long as the person who is authorized to open a keyless padlock, knows the right combination number or code they will be able to open it.
A 3rd favorable point is that this makes them amazingly useful for large buildings and offices which would have needed to issue large numbers of keys, in a manner which might have been completely unfeasible in the past (although this may not be quite so relevant for padlock choice as it would be for multiple doors which need to be kept locked).
A fourth big benefit is that the combination of number, or code, which opens the keyless padlock can be changed, which may improve the security of the device.
Lastly, the 5th point in support is going to be ((6))).
For balance then let’s listen to the other side, those opposed, the “Con” side:
Firstly, the point against is going to be that keyless padlocks come in many novel designs, but the average purchaser can only guess how secure they really are when confronted by an expert thief.
The 2nd point against will be their “combination” may be mathematically secure but the mechanisms which prevent them being sprung are not normally tested or accredited.
3rd point against is going to be the manufacturers of the budget models are often unknown to the buyer, so their is frequently no possibility of making a buying decision on the reputation of the manufacturer for producing genuinely secure products.
A fourth negative point will be many buyers will be coerced by their convenience in use, and novel designs to buy keyless padlocks, which is surely not a good manner in which to choose a product who’s requirement is that of maximum security.
And 5th and last, although not necessarily the least, consideration against is how long the mechanisms or batteries in the case of electronically activated keyless padlocks remain effective against determined theft.
So there we have all the arguments for each side.
Finally then, what’s the “bottom line” here? Is keyless padlocks bad or good?
The reply definitely seems to be “Yes” to both questions! Keyless padlocks seem to be both good AND bad! It’s left up to your reader to determine which side, the good or the bad, outweighs the other for their own circumstances…
