Metal Padlock Production Process

Manufacturing body

The padlocks have a body made of several sheets of metal stacked on top of each other that are laminated together , which helps to reinforce the metal. The pieces of stacked metal make the inside of body stronger so the lock can’t be broken easily.In most of cases , the brass will be used as material of body. Because it perform quite well in weather resistance. Once the metal shaped , then caps are riveted into lock body.

Manufacturing shackle

A cutting machine is needed in this step to cut the steel rod in order to allow them to fit into holes on top of lock body. After cut , they are then bent by a bending robot and tempered for reinforce.

Manufacturing mechanism

In this step you will make everything that goes inside of padlocks. The ball bearing will be put inside , the bearings plays an important role in blocking shim, otherwise the padlock can be shimmed open by putting a shim at bottom of shackle and forcing the lock open. Then the padlock will be prepared for lock cylinder by putting a cylindrical case inside,  once put the cylindrical case in , the machines put pieces of cylinder together ,including taking a plug, loading iy with pins and springs , and installing a case around it.

Finishing up

Now it comes to the last step . A key needs to be cut to fit the pins inside cylinder. A worker takes empty bodies and places the cylinder inside  of padlocks , to ensure they go with correct padlock , and then a spring is placed at bottom At the end of the process, the padlock have to be tested to ensure it can work wel as it should be . The main test items are the ease of use and the strength of lock.
