Whether it’s a gate, a bike locker or a toolbox , a lock left out in the rain is likely to rust and jam over time .
This is where this little hole comes in handy :
- It allows water to drain and prevents moisture from seeping in.
- It reduces the risk of corrosion and thus extends the life of the padlock.
Without this drainage, the water would remain stagnant and could damage the internal mechanism . A small detail , but with a big influence on the durability of your padlock!
An ally to unlock a stubborn padlock
Who has never experienced the frustration of a padlock that won’t open ?

Good news! This little hole has another function:
- This allows a lubricant ( penetrating oil, penetrating oil, etc. ) to be inserted directly into the mechanism.
- By simply spraying there, the clogged parts are loosened and you save a lot of hassle .
