I need a combination lock for my gate, but I want a heavy duty, cut-proof, bullet proof, nuclear weapon proof combination lock. Looking for suggestions on mfg and where to buy! Thank you in advance!!

It’s not the lock that’s important, but the piece of steel pipe the lock is in to prevent it being cut. Chain is the weak link.

Well.... in case you aren't up to speed that "Nuclear Weapon" costs $39.99 right now at Harbor Freight:




I'd get a cheap lock that's easy to cut so they don't tear up your gate. You ain't locking up a dayum thing since these have been on the market.

We had a combo lock and no one could see to unlock it in the dark! put a light on it and you couldn't see numbers for the glare

Pewag chain and boron carbide locks

The Fonz?

A better use of your money would be a cell camera and a very visible "dummy" camera.

Ha!!!!! LOL!!!! You're 100% right... except a cutting disc. Here's the problem... DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!! Commit a crime and get off with a wrist slap!

Per google search
Can you cut a pewag chain?
It takes about 50 seconds with a 120V angle grinder and 1/8" abrasive blade to cut the first of two cuts that are required to remove a link from this chain

Thanks to everyone that answered!! I think that the only way to protect a lock (and your property) is to make the lock inaccessible to bolt cutters or grinders. The only way to do that is to weld protection plates around it and do away with the chain. It's good to have docs, lawyers and welders in the family!!!!!!!

If POS crooks would pay a HUGE price for stealing, maybe we would not have to worry about such so much. With democrats, a POS crooks gets caught and nothing happens to the guy! Vote Republican.

They make some combo locks with Bolt Cutter Guards

I have a pipe gate the lock is completely covered and has only a small opening to get it latched . I use a big , 5 tumbler, keyed Master industrial lock with hardened 3/8" shackle.

We have some iron pipe gates at the river, ain't getting no cutters or grinder to the locks on that bad boy! You'll have to cut the pipe, and it's gonna a little time lol...

Last time we were broken into, they didn’t use bolt cutter or a grinder. You can’t access the lock with either……

So they used a torch. A lock only keeps semi honest folks out.

Lock only keeps an honest person out. If someone wants in they will find a way.

A thief, trespasser will always figure out a way to get in. Our gate is just a cable with a combo lock on it. Hell, they could easily go around it on a wheeler. We've been lucky so far. No problems.

I had some Democrats on 4 wheelers, many years ago, run over the fence because there was no way they were getting through the gate. The neighbor saw them and called me, I jumped in the truck and caught them . Didn't work out too good for 'em.

I'm a locksmith and as others have said a lock will only keep an honest person out. With that being said I have seen a few padlocks made by master lock that had a larger more oversized shackle than a typical padlock but it may not be what you want since it was not a combination style lock and requires a key. One thing about these padlocks is that you can not cut the shackle with a set of bolt cutters. I have a 4ft long set of bolt cutters and the last one I tried to cut with them barely put a dent in the shackle. Another way to look at it is if you use a standard padlock that they could cut and go in you won't have to worry about them tearing the whole gate down trying to get in because a lock can be replaced alot cheaper and easier than a gate.
